CMake Package Configuration

CMake package configuration involves creating standardized files that describe how to find and use software libraries or tools within a project. These configuration files contain details like dependencies, version requirements, and installation paths. When a developer builds a project, CMake uses these files to automatically locate and correctly set up external packages, ensuring compatibility and simplifying the build process. Essentially, it's like a map or guide that helps different software components work together smoothly across various systems without manual setup.
