Solves #7909
I tried to build and install flatbuffers (including flatc) with CMake.
When trying to integrate that install into my project, I realized that the very convenient
flatbuffers_generate_headers
functions could not be used.This PR fixes that.
(Instead of adding this clause
it would also be possible to create an
ALIAS
targetflatbuffers::flatc
(e.g.add_executable(flatbuffers::flatc ALIAS flatc)
and reference that throughout the the whole project. Doing the same for the other targets (e.g.flatbuffers::flatbuffers
... ) allows the same experience for both consumers who build flatbuffers as part of their build, or use an installed version instead. But this PR goes the easier, quick way to fix the described problem.)
