I'm trying out the pmm tool to add libraries to my project. I've opt'ed for the VCPKG variant. The pmm installs fine, packages are installed, but then the cmake command
find_package(x), says it cannot find the package.
After hours of fiddling around, I found where the packages are getting installed and manually added the path to cmake. This works, but of course it's very dissatisfying because I am not sure how universal this path would be. How can I make this work without providing that path? Or is this path always needed and I have not fully understood the documentation? Any insight would be much appreciated. Here is my CMakeLists.txt:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.10)
project(pmmAndVcpkg VERSION 0.0.0)
set(VCPKG_REV 2022.05.10)
include(pmm.cmake)
pmm(
VCPKG
REVISION ${VCPKG_REV}
REQUIRES fmt
)
# WHY DO I NEED THIS SECTION????

set(VCPKG_PATH $ENV{HOME}/.local/share/pmm/${PMM_VERSION_INIT}/vcpkg-${VCPKG_REV}/packages)
set(CMAKE_MODULE_PATH ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR} ${VCPKG_PATH} ${CMAKE_MODULE_PATH})
set(CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR} ${VCPKG_PATH} ${CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH})

find_package(fmt CONFIG REQUIRED)
add_executable(main main.cpp)
target_link_libraries(main PRIVATE fmt)
Apart from this file I only added the pmm.cmake file as required, and a main.cpp file to assert I can link to the library.
I just had to add the triplet:
