[question] Why systemc generated .cmake files are removed during installation step ? #3808

Open nayakche opened 3 years ago

nayakche commented 3 years ago

systemc installation procedure by default generates cmake files. But, In the recipe I see it being removed. Why not just leave it ? Because, then along with cmake_find_package even cmake_paths generators can then be supported. This means we can use .cmake files provided by the library owner instead of generating one.
