Description
This adds documentation for how to provide a list of alternative lib names with the
tribits_tpl_find_include_dirs_and_libraries()
argumentREQUIRED_LIBS_NAMES
. This has been a supported and tested feature for a long time. But amazingly, it was not documented!This PR was motivated by a question from a Trilinos user about how to update some
FindTPL<tplName>.cmake
find modules in Trilinos to look for alternative names as well (like look foropenblas
if you can't findblas
).Instructions to reviewers
See updated documentation. See the rendered updated documentation at:
