There is no need to use the embedded gtest code copy in Linux systems, if they already provide the googletest framework system-wide.
Search for it, and fallback to the embedded one if the system one is not detected.

* CMake: Add option to set the package install dir.

* CMake: Fix generated config.

- `YAML_CPP_SHARED_LIBS_BUILT` should not be set with a `PATH_VAR` as it
would always evaluate to true.
- `YAML_CPP_LIBRARIES` should used the exported target name including
the namespace, but `check_required_components` shouldn't.
- Use `CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR` to find the target file, instead of a
`PATH_VAR`. Package managers such as vcpkg move CMake configs after
installing.

* CI: Test the generated CMake package.

* CMake: Create add a deprecated yaml-cpp target.

This target is meant to provide compatibility with versions prior to
0.8.0.

* CMake: mark the yaml-cpp target as IMPORTED.

Hide uninstall target unless YAML_CPP_INSTALL is set, and allow it to be disabled by YAML_CPP_DISABLE_UNINSTALL 

add_custom_target uninstall causes a clash with the same target in rtmidi (https://github.com/thestk/rtmidi

).
"add_custom_target cannot create target "uninstall" because another target with the same name already exists.  The existing target is a custom target created in source directory"

Adds new option YAML_CPP_DISABLE_UNINSTALL 

fixes #1151

This pull request adds two new exported variables to the CMake config:

YAML_CPP_LIBRARY_DIR - points to the directory containing the built library files
YAML_CPP_SHARED_LIBS_BUILT - boolean value, lets users know whether shared libraries were built or not

Add definitions to static yaml-cpp target (fixes #1116)

Also updates CONTRIBUTING instructions for tests

Minimize warnings when not the top-level project

Should fix #970 and #764 when trying to add yaml-cpp to other project

Changes YAML_CPP_INSTALL from a cmake_dependent_option to an option.

Fixes #756, #847, and #1011.

The option `YAML_CPP_BUILD_TESTS` currently enables or disables building of tests; but unconditionally the CMake file includes CTest; this PR makes that conditional on the option.

Also, there is no option for enabling formatting, but it does check whether it can find the `clang-format` executable; this PR adds an option (default to true) that skips even looking for the executable if disabled.

After configuring the file `yaml-cpp-config.cmake.in`, the result ends up with
empty variables.  (see also the discussion in #774).

Rework this file and the call to `configure_package_config_file` according the
cmake documentation
(https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.22/module/CMakePackageConfigHelpers.html?highlight=configure_package_config#command:configure_package_config_file)
to overcome this issue and allow a simple `find_package` after install.

As there was some discussion about the place where to install the
`yaml-cpp-config.cmake` file, e.g. #1055, factor out the install location into
an extra variable to make it easier changing this location in the future.

Also untabify CMakeLists.txt in some places to align with the other code parts in this file.

Fixes issue #1053.

Partial revert of "Revert "Revert "Hide most of non-public symbols by default (#984)" (#1038)" (#1045)"

This reverts commit 0733aeb4.

This reverts commit da1c8d36. and fixes #1036.

* Export YAML::detail::node::m_amount

The internal header node/detail/node.h is included by public headers;
YAML::detail::node is implemented in the header itself, and thus it gets
inlined... except for its static m_amount class member, which is
instantiated in the library only. Right now all the symbols of yaml-cpp
are exported (nothing is hidden), so the linker will find node::m_amount
in the yaml-cpp library.

As solution/workaround, explicitly export YAML::detail::node::m_amount.

* CMake: use GenerateExportHeader

Make use of the GenerateExportHeader CMake module to generate the dll.h
header with export macros.

While the produced dll.h is different, the result should be the same,
i.e. nothing changes for yaml-cpp or its users.

* CMake: hide all the symbols by default

Hide all the symbols that are not explicitly exported with YAML_CPP_API.
This way the ABI will be way smaller, and only actually exposing the
public classes/functions.

Per https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/policy/CMP0091.html, we need to
enable policy CMP0091 if we want to make use of MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY
and/or CMAKE_MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY.  Fixes issue #912.

Library debug postfix might not be suitable for cross platform project, and usually require extra work of link against prebuilt yaml-cpp.

Generally, Xcode project output library to these directories:
    Debug
    Release
    Debug-iphoneos
    Release-iphoneos
    Debug-iphonesimulator
    Release-iphonesimulator

Another Xcode project usually configured its build setting as follow, and expects library name to be same between Release and Debug
    LIBRARY_SEARCH_PATHS=$(CONFIGURATION)$(EFFECT_PLATFORM_NAME)
    OTHER_LDFLAGS= $(inherited) -lyaml-cpp

Fix invocation of clang-format in CMakeLists and apply clang-format.

Change the namespace from yaml::yaml to yaml-cpp::yaml-cpp.

🐛 Fixes #748 (#770)

Add empty list of sources to add_library and add_executable.

The generator expressions here are actually unnecessary, now that I think about it.

This should fix #745

Remove 2.6-isms
Remove 2.8-isms
Bump CMake minimum version to 3.4

Disable some options when used as a subdirectory

Use `CONFIGURE_DEPENDS` with `file(GLOB)` when possible

Backport CMake 3.15's MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY setting.
Set all compile options as generator expressions.
Set all find-package files to be installed to the correct file.

Remove `export(PACKAGE)`, as this has been deprecated.
Remove fat binary support
Remove manual setting of iPhone settings. These should be set by parent
projects.
Remove use of ExternalProject for a local use
Conditionally remove format target unless clang-format is found

* CMake: Prefix options with "YAML" and hide platform-specific options

When including yaml-cpp as a subproject, some option names can conflict with other projects.

(1) Make sure the yaml-cpp options are prefixed with YAML
(2) Hide platform-specific options when possible to avoid cluttering the cmake option list

* Update docs for change from BUILD_SHARED_LIBS to YAML_BUILD_SHARED_LIBS

Setting CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD and CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED directly is problematic when including yaml-cpp as a subproject.

The proper way is to set these per-target.
