Including CGAL 6.1.1 via CPM

Usage
1

Hi,

So I want to add CGAL v6.1.1 to my cmake/c++ project. For all other libraries, I’m using CPM, so my approach was to do the same with CGAL.

Therefore, I added

CPMAddPackage(
    NAME CGAL
    GITHUB_REPOSITORY CGAL/cgal
    GIT_TAG v6.1.1
    OPTIONS 
    "CGAL_ENABLE_TESTING OFF"
)

to my root cmake and then tried to link it:

#  Build Executable
add_executable(Pulsar src/main.cpp ${LIBS_SOURCES})


# Link the executable to the libraries it needs
target_include_directories(Pulsar PRIVATE 
    src
)

# Link all external dependencies directly
target_link_libraries(Pulsar PRIVATE
    spdlog::spdlog
    OpenXLSX::OpenXLSX
    cxxopts::cxxopts
    Eigen3::Eigen
    CGAL::CGAL
)

Surprisingly this failed with the following message:

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:86 (target_link_libraries):
[cmake]   Target "Pulsar" links to:
[cmake] 
[cmake]     CGAL::CGAL
[cmake] 
[cmake]   but the target was not found.

I have to admit I don’t understand this. Ok, I know cgal 6.1.1 is a header only thing, but still, this should work, right?

What I really really want to is to avoid and system-wide installation. :confused:

Please help
