How to automatically export dependencies to a project built with Cmake?

Question

linux

target_link_libraries specifies all the required libraries, mostly they are located in the standard path /usr/local/lib (as found by find_package).
How can I copy these dependencies to the folder with the executable, since they are dynamically linked and required when porting to another system?

Answer 1

What systems are we talking about? If it's about the debian family, then why not build a package? On linux distros, it is usually customary for the package manager to satisfy dynamic dependencies.
CPack will help you build the package. For example, here is a variable where you need to list dependency packages: CPACK_DEBIAN_PACKAGE_DEPENDS .
