I am trying to install and export the target defined by the following CMakeLists.txt in a Windows environment. It uses FetchContent to download a library from github. I can build the library with no problem and generate nfd.lib. My goal is to use this library in my other projects.
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.24)
project(mynfd VERSION 1.0.0)
include(FetchContent)
FetchContent_Declare(nfd
GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/btzy/nativefiledialog-extended.git
GIT_TAG c++-version)
FetchContent_MakeAvailable(nfd)
At this point, nfd.lib is successfully built in _deps/nfd-build/src/nfd.lib.
When I add the following install commands to the CMakeLists.txt above, I run into issues.
# Installation
include(GNUInstallDirs)
install(TARGETS nfd
EXPORT ${PROJECT_NAME}Targets
FILE_SET HEADERS
PUBLIC_HEADER DESTINATION ${nfd_SOURCE_DIR}/src/include
)
install(EXPORT ${PROJECT_NAME}Targets
FILE ${PROJECT_NAME}Targets.cmake
NAMESPACE ${PROJECT_NAME}::
DESTINATION lib/cmake/${PROJECT_NAME})
I get the following error messages.
CMake Error in cmake-build-debug-visual-studio/_deps/nfd-src/src/CMakeLists.txt:

"C:/Dev/myproject/src/test/cmake-build-debug-visual-studio/_deps/nfd-src/src/include/"

How can I resolve this problem?
