Re: [SOLVED] find_package failed to find mapnik

When application A uses cmake to detect/use application B it needs specially crafted files for B.  Usually those files are found in /usr/lib/cmake/folder-for-application-B and have an extension of .cmake .

The mapnik repo package from repos doesn't include such files so can can't be found through cmake .
Worse : cmake is the only program that can create/manage those files, but repo mapnik is build with scons  .

There are several possible solutions for this, but without knowing more about your usecase I could only make a wild guess which are applicable.

Please explain what you want to achieve.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky

I'm just going to study mapnik,
Got that it was built with scons, I have no question now.
To reserve the possibility of using the optional features, I'll built one instead of installing it by pacman.

Thanks
