Unable to use spix because cmake can't find anyrpc

[Thenujan-0]

I'm running manjaro kde
I have installed anyrpc using the commands provided in the readme

    ~/temp/anyrpc/build    master    sudo cmake --install .                                                                                                                       ✔

And then installed spix using the commands given in the readme as well but i'm unable to use spix in my project
I have added find_package(Spix REQUIRED) in CMakeFiles.txt in the root directory of my project
But i get the following error when i configure my project using cmake

CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake/Modules/CMakeFindDependencyMacro.cmake:47 (find_package):
  By not providing "FindAnyRPC.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has
  asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "AnyRPC", but
  CMake did not find one.

  Could not find a package configuration file provided by "AnyRPC" with any
  of the following names:

    AnyRPCConfig.cmake
    anyrpc-config.cmake

  Add the installation prefix of "AnyRPC" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
  "AnyRPC_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.  If "AnyRPC"
  provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been
  installed.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  /usr/local/share/Spix/cmake/SpixConfig.cmake:29 (find_dependency)
  CMakeLists.txt:34 (find_package)


-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

Error makes sense as anyrpc did not install a AnyRpcConfig.cmake file. So how do i fix it?

[faaxm]

Spix comes with its own "FindAnyRPC.cmake" in cmake/modules
In line 8 of its CMakeLists.txt, spix extends the CMAKE_MODULE_PATH with ${CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR}/cmake/modules", which seems to somehow not work in your case.

Not sure what might be going wrong. Maybe try setting it to an absolute path and see if that'd fix it?

Edited that line to set(CMAKE_MODULE_PATH ${CMAKE_MODULE_PATH} "/home/thenujan/temp/spix/cmake/modules").
ran

cmake -DSPIX_QT_MAJOR=5 ..
cmake --build .
sudo cmake --install 

still getting the same error

[Thenujan-0]

That file(FindAnyRpc.cmake) is used by cmake. I checked by adding some random lines to it. It does produce error.

I had the same problem and the following line added before find_package(Spix REQUIRED) to the CMakeLists.txt file helped:

LIST(APPEND CMAKE_MODULE_PATH path_to/spix/cmake/modules)
