package_project() does not normalize the install paths before printing about project_options HOT 8 OPEN

Where is the strange part?

from project_options.

-- Up-to-date: /Users/clausklein/Workspace/cpp/stage/usr/.//include
-- Up-to-date: /Users/clausklein/Workspace/cpp/stage/usr/.//include/greeter
-- Up-to-date: /Users/clausklein/Workspace/cpp/stage/usr/.//include/greeter/greeter.h

And this info in not right:

cat: /Users/clausklein/Workspace/cpp/stage/usr/share/greeter/usage

    find_package(greeter CONFIG REQUIRED)
    target_link_libraries(main PRIVATE  greeter::greeter greeter::project_options greeter::project_warnings)

see

set_target_properties(greeter::greeter PROPERTIES
  INTERFACE_COMPILE_FEATURES "cxx_std_20"
  INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES "${_IMPORT_PREFIX}/include"
  INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES "fmt::fmt;greeter::project_warnings;greeter::project_options"
  INTERFACE_SYSTEM_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES "include"
)

from project_options.

It seems correct to me. I don't see any issue here.

Yes, "seems" it is correct, but may be prevented to be clear.
It looks strange in context of the other install messages. see normal-path

And https://discourse.cmake.org/t/target-include-directories-mylib-system-is-exported-without-import-prefix/5359 !

from project_options.

The correct usage message should:

find_package(greeter CONFIG REQUIRED)
target_link_libraries(main PRIVATE greeter::greeter)

The reporting is just for information and debugging purposes. CMake itself should normalize the paths before installation if that is important for you.

target_link_libraries(main PRIVATE greeter::greeter)

That is subjective. When you export greeter::project_optinos, you cannot expect CMake to hide that target. Someone might really want to link with greeter::project_options.

However, it might be useful to add an option to hide this from the usage file.

from project_options.

The correct usage message should:

find_package(greeter CONFIG REQUIRED)
target_link_libraries(main PRIVATE greeter::greeter)

This links fmt::fmt;greeter::project_warnings;greeter::project_options implicitly.
