Openssl dynamic linking : find_package and IMPORTED_LOCATION

[ebrinette]

Hello !
I'm trying to understand what I'm doing wrong regarding my usage of find_package for openssl.

I'm fairly new to using vcpkg and I'm trying to understand how the vcpkg find_package works.

I'm on windows with the cmake vcpkg toolchain and the triplet x64-windows (and vcpkg classic mode).

I noticed the OpenSSLConfig.cmake can retrieve the .dll filepath (defined in the target IMPORTED_LOCATION).
I'm using this variable to install the .dll along with other runtimes files.

If I use the find_package config mode, I can effectively retrieve this path by using:

set(Z_VCPKG_OPENSSL_USE_SINGLE_CONFIG ON)
find_package(OpenSSL REQUIRED COMPONENTS SSL Crypto CONFIG)

However, this seems like a hack and I'm not even sure of the implications behind it.

Is there a way to retrieve the .dll location using find_package and vcpkg ?

Thank you for your help
