i am tiring to make my library on Cmake

inside of CmakeLists.txt

```cmake

here is error

Error message tells you to look at the line 71, which seems to be the call to `configure_package_config_file`. From documentation:

> configure\_package\_config\_file(\<input\> \<output\>  
> INSTALL\_DESTINATION   
> [PATH\_VARS …]  
> [NO\_SET\_AND\_CHECK\_MACRO]  
> [NO\_CHECK\_REQUIRED\_COMPONENTS\_MACRO]  
> [INSTALL\_PREFIX]  
> )

So it seems you gave it two set of files instead of one.
