Install the cmake helper scripts

[Léonard G]

When compiled from source with cmake, the library installs the cmake helper scripts allowing find_package(PROJ4) to work.

They are not shipped with the package.

[Bas Couwenberg (sebastic)]

The proj package is built with Autotools, not CMake.

Ubuntu does not maintain the proj package, so this will not get fixed by filing a bug in Launchpad.

Including the CMake files in libproj-dev won't be sufficient, as it will take several releases until this change finds its way into the package in Ubuntu. But that doesn't get it included in other distributions.

You should include a FindPROJ.cmake in your project and not rely on upstream to have installed the file.

I am not sure I understand what you are saying.

When building from sources, using Autotools to locally install one would do
```
./configure
make install
```
This will not install the CMake helper scripts, but doing (in source for simplicity)
```
cmake .
make install
```
will install everything the previous method would plus the useful CMake stuff.

Since I am not sure how to find out how the deb package is created (not seeing it in their github page), I assume that you are saying that the deb package is generated with Autotools?

You are saying Launchpad is the wrong place, where should I look for more info / place to help?

Hello,

Bas was saying, proj4 package is not using a "cmake build" in the package.
proj4 is using
 ./configure && make (autotools)

Best way is to get a copy of findPROJ4.cmake into your tree.
see for instance:
https://github.com/mloskot/cmake-modules/blob/master/modules/FindPROJ4.cmake

with this your find_package will work.
https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.0/command/find_package.html

The proj package is maintained by the Debian GIS team. To contribute see:
