[ITK] [ITK-users] Linking an external ITK module against LAPACK?

[Matt McCormick]

Hi Davis,

The BridgeOpenCV module can now also be built externally and it can be
used as an example.

The initial find_package should be added to itk-module-init.cmake.

  https://github.com/InsightSoftwareConsortium/ITK/blob/f8b17356cecf1611894e0be25b2c3d9284646889/Modules/Video/BridgeOpenCV/itk-module-init.cmake

Then, define <module-name>_EXPORT_CODE_INSTALL,
<module-name>_EXPORT_CODE_BUILD, <module-name>_SYSTEM_INCLUDE_DIRS,
and <module-name>_SYSTEM_LIBRARY_DIRS  (if needed):

  https://github.com/InsightSoftwareConsortium/ITK/blob/f8b17356cecf1611894e0be25b2c3d9284646889/Modules/Video/BridgeOpenCV/CMakeLists.txt#L9-L22

The first two are CMake code that gets called when another module or
library uses your module. The second two add to the header search
directories or library search directories (-I and -L) when building
code in your module or against your module.

If your module creates a library, link to the dependent libraries in
src/CMakeLists.txt:

  https://github.com/InsightSoftwareConsortium/ITK/blob/f8b17356cecf1611894e0be25b2c3d9284646889/Modules/Video/BridgeOpenCV/src/CMakeLists.txt#L8

HTH,
Matt
