Broken yaml 0.8.0 detection.

[SlawekNowy]

The EndeavourOS (flavour of ArchLinux) package of yaml-cpp has no yaml-cpp target, only yaml-cpp::yaml-cpp

The config file is located and read from properly.

[listout]

Can confirm

[berndf]

I'm seeing the same error on gentoo with opencolorio 2.3.0 and yaml-cpp. As far as I can see, opencolorio 2.3.0 already includes patch #1823 and an additional small patch is needed (cf https://bugs.gentoo.org/914716). Could anybody confirm?

[SlawekNowy]

In my case it still proved insufficient. Only aliasing the needed target worked.

EDIT: I likely have found defect in a patch. We should be writing to yaml-cpp_LIBRARY not yaml-cpp::yaml-cpp_LIBRARY,
as the former variable is later used to define our target.

Got another error though

CMake Error at share/cmake/modules/Findyaml-cpp.cmake:157 (set_target_properties):
  set_target_properties called with incorrect number of arguments.

[SlawekNowy]

Huh. Apparently we need to export includes too as otherwise that set_target_properties would be called with 5 arguments.

[SlawekNowy]

Here's the revised patch.

Thanks for the report and fix @SlawekNowy! Would you mind opening a PR for that if you have the time?

[doug-walker]

Should be fixed by PR #1891. Please re-open if that's not the case.
