Description

@jwuttke

Jesse, would you be willing to maintain the following FindYamlCpp05.make? Or where else should I submit it? Let me take the occasion to thank you for your work on yaml-cpp - Joachim

# Locate yaml-cpp with API version 0.5
#
# This module defines
# YAMLCPP_FOUND, if false, do not try to link to yaml-cpp
# YAMLCPP_LIBRARY, where to find yaml-cpp
# YAMLCPP_INCLUDE_DIR, where to find yaml.h
#
# By default, the dynamic libraries of yaml-cpp will be found. To find the static ones instead,
# you must set the YAMLCPP_STATIC_LIBRARY variable to TRUE before calling find_package(YamlCpp ...).
#
# If yaml-cpp is not installed in a standard path, you can use the YAMLCPP_DIR CMake variable
# to tell CMake where yaml-cpp is.
