No, please go ahead and test. There won't be any more changes related to
the CMake issues in 1.3.6, it's all finished now.

The only relevant changes you should expect compared to 1.3.5 are the
renamed macOS framework and the new "backwards compatible" setting of
FLTK_INCLUDE_DIR in *CONFIG* mode as you expect in your app (at least
that's what I remember).

Note: as with 1.3.5 there will likely be no next 1.3 version (1.3.7) -
unless there are really serious bugs. But you never know... ;-)

I hope that we can solve the find_package() issue differently.

Thanks for the clarification.

Running FindPackage(FLTK CONFIG) and then printing out the expected variables, I get...

-- FLTK_FOUND 1

-- FLTK_INCLUDE_DIR /Users/.../FLTK-prefix/include

-- FLTK_INCLUDE_DIRS /Users/.../FLTK-prefix/include

-- FLTK_LIBRARIES

-- FLTK_FLUID_EXECUTABLE fluid

-- FLTK_WRAP_UI

So, it appears that FLTK_LIBRARIES is not being set. Also, I have great skepticism about FLTK_FLUID_EXECUTABLE here. I would expect it to provide a fully qualified path to fluid rather than just the executable name.

Also, note no success message 'Found FLTK:' is printed.

When I run without CONFIG set, I get.....

-- Found FLTK: /Users/.../FLTK-prefix/lib/libfltk_images.a;/Users/.../FLTK-prefix/lib/libfltk_forms.a;/Users/.../FLTK-prefix/lib/libfltk_gl.a;/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX11.1.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework;/Users/.../FLTK-prefix/fltk.framework

-- FLTK_FOUND TRUE

-- FLTK_INCLUDE_DIR /Users/.../FLTK-prefix/include/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX11.1.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework

-- FLTK_INCLUDE_DIRS

-- FLTK_LIBRARIES -framework Carbon -framework Cocoa -framework ApplicationServices -lz/Users/.../FLTK-prefix/lib/libfltk_images.a/Users/.../FLTK-prefix/lib/libfltk_forms.a/Users/.../FLTK-prefix/lib/libfltk_gl.a/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX11.1.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Users/.../FLTK-prefix/fltk.framework

-- FLTK_FLUID_EXECUTABLE /Users/.../FLTK-prefix/bin/fluid.app/Contents/MacOS/fluid

-- FLTK_WRAP_UI 1

It more or less behaves as expected. Except as discussed before the issue I don't understand about the fltk.framework path that doesn't work properly.
