Installing nested libraries brings compilation errors.
I try to have a project called CROSP that contains multiple internal libraries, namely : StrainParameterisation, RodProperties, PolynomialRepresentation. These libraries are then linked to one base library : CROSP. This one is the library that is then installed in my usr/local/...
The problem is that when I try to include the library from one external package, I get some errors saying that the compiler did not found the .so file for the internal libraries.
In the following I detail the topology of my project.
The layout of the project is the following:
.
├── cmake
│ ├── cmake_uninstall.cmake.in
│ ├── Config.cmake.in
│ └── installation_module.cmake
├── CMakeLists.txt
└── src
├── CMakeLists.txt

│ └── strain_parameterisation.hpp
├── polynomial_representation
│ └── polynomial_representation.cpp
├── rod_properties
│ └── rod_properties.cpp
└── strain_parameterisation
└── strain_parameterisation.cpp
The CMakeLists are :
Top level CMakeLists
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.22 FATAL_ERROR)
project(CROSP LANGUAGES CXX VERSION 2.0)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 20)

# Give different names for debug and Release
set(CMAKE_RELEASE_POSTFIX "")

add_subdirectory(src)
# Install the library using the default routine
include(cmake/installation_module.cmake)
The installation_module.cmake

)
add_custom_target(uninstall COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -P "${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/cmake_uninstall.cmake")
The Config.cmake.in module :
@PACKAGE_INIT@
set(@PROJECT_NAME@_VERSION @PROJECT_VERSION@)
set_and_check(@PROJECT_NAME@_INCLUDE_DIRS @PACKAGE_INCLUDE_INSTALL_DIR@/@PROJECT_NAME@)
set_and_check(@PROJECT_NAME@_LIBRARY_DIR @PACKAGE_LIB_INSTALL_DIR@)

include(FindPackageHandleStandardArgs)
find_package_handle_standard_args(@PROJECT_NAME@ DEFAULT_MSG @PROJECT_NAME@_INCLUDE_DIRS @PROJECT_NAME@_LIBRARIES)
Then We have the CMakeLists in src

I can run and install this library. The following code compiles and runs fine.
#include "CROSP/CROSP/cosserat_rod.hpp"
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
::CROSP::polynomial_representation::PolynomialRepresentation poly(5);
::CROSP::rod_properties::MaterialProperties material(200, 100, 10);
::CROSP::CosseratRod rod(poly, material);
::CROSP::CosseratRod rod2(15);
::CROSP::CosseratRod rod3;
return 0;
}
The installation in my usr folder has the following layout
usr
└── local
├── include
│ └── CROSP
│ ├── CROSP
│ │ └── cosserat_rod.hpp
│ ├── polynomial_representation
│ │ └── polynomial_representation.hpp
│ ├── rod_properties
│ │ └── rod_properties.hpp
│ └── strain_parameterisation

│ └── libCROSP.so
└── share

└── cmake

└── CROSPConfigVersion.cmake
From another project, I can include the library without problem. Here there is an example
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.5)
project(test_crosp_library LANGUAGES CXX)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 11)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED ON)
find_package(CROSP REQUIRED)
find_package(Eigen3 3.4 NO_MODULE REQUIRED)
add_executable(test_crosp_library main.cpp)
target_link_libraries(test_crosp_library
PUBLIC
CROSP
Eigen3::Eigen
)
And the main.cpp looks like this
#include "CROSP/CROSP/cosserat_rod.hpp"
int main()
{
::CROSP::CosseratRod rod; // errors
return 0;
}
I get the following errors

Can you tell what is wrong ?
Moreover, I would like to know if I can use the INTERFACE functionality in order to install the internal libraries in my usr/local with namespaces.
So the CMakeLists.txt of a package using CROSP will be:
find_package(CROSP REQUIRED)
add_executable(main main.cpp)
target_link_libraries(main
CROSP::MaterialProperties
CROSP::StrainParameterisation
)
