Details

Description:
The library provides a c-ares-config.cmake which is required for linking to this lib from projects using CMake. To have this file installed the library needs to be built with CMake. However the package sticks to using autotools build and thus no configs are installed.

Additional info:
* package version(s) 1.15.0-1
* config and/or log files etc.
* link to upstream bug report, if any

Steps to reproduce:
add 'find_package(c-ares)' to CMakeLists.txt and see it not found.
This task depends upon

Given that the c-ares package installs a pkg-config file, it seems prudent to not depend on a .cmake file which may or may not be available depending on how the project was built, and instead use find_package(FindPkgConfig) and acquire the necessary link dependency using that (build system agnostic) method.

By building the package with cmake instead of autoconf, the library will provide both the pkg-config file and the cmake file, which seems like a strict improvement for cmake based projects. See https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=c-ares-cmake for an example.
