feat: create cmake alias for consistent downstream usage - #522
Merged
Conversation
At the moment, downstream projects will have to differentiate based off the way the obtained sdbus-c++ in CMake. If they use `find_package`, the target they have to use is `SDBusCpp::sdbus-c++`, whereas the target is merely `sdbus-c++` if they use `FetchContent` (i.e. use without installation). By creating an alias target, it is now always possible to use the `DBusCpp::sdbus-c++` target regardless of how the library was obtained.

@Krzmbrzl You are very right! Thanks for this update -- somehow I assumed that this alias had been implemented already :-) |
