CMake exports

CMake exports are a way for software projects to share information about their built libraries and components so other projects can easily find and use them. When a library is created, CMake can generate an export file that describes its functions, dependencies, and installation details. This allows developers to seamlessly include and link libraries in new projects without manually specifying paths or settings. Essentially, CMake exports facilitate smooth, automated integration of software components across different parts of a project or between multiple projects, improving efficiency and reducing errors in the build process.
