CPM: IODash not found via find_package(IODash ) about cpm.cmake

Awesome! Remoing those flags did the trick:

-- CPM: adding package IODash@ (/home/bhepple/rpmbuild/BUILD/ydotool-0.2.0/x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu/IODash-0.1.0)
-- CPM: adding package libevdevPlus@ (/home/bhepple/rpmbuild/BUILD/ydotool-0.2.0/x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu/libevdevPlus-0.2.1)
-- CPM: adding package libuInputPlus@ (/home/bhepple/rpmbuild/BUILD/ydotool-0.2.0/x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu/libuInputPlus-0.2.1)
-- CPM: adding package cxxopts@ (/home/bhepple/rpmbuild/BUILD/ydotool-0.2.0/x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu/cxxopts-2d8e17c4f88efce80e274cb03eeb902e055a91d3)
-- cxxopts version 3.0.0

Now I can stumble on to the next one ...

Big thanks for the fast and helpful reply - I've been stuck for a couple of days now!!

It looks like you've enabled the flags -DCPM_USE_LOCAL_PACKAGES=YES and -DCPM_LOCAL_PACKAGES_ONLY=YES. This combination tells CPM.cmake to look for packages exclusively using the standard find_package command and error in case it isn't found. Therefore the flag CPM_IODash_SOURCE is not used, as it isn't consumed by find_package.
I would suggest either ensuring that all required dependencies are installed by the system package manager in a way that find_package can find them or to remove the -DCPM_LOCAL_PACKAGES_ONLY=YES flag and provide the source and location explicitly as you have done.

Can close this now.
