Boost takes arguments for versions of the library if you need a concrete example.<br>

See the readme file in the cmake modules directory.<br>
<br>
In the Find-module, you have access to<br>
<name_of_the_package>_FIND_VERSION_(MAJOR|MINOR|PATCH) etc. variables which<br>
you can check.<br>
<br>
If you determine the version of the found package, you can then simply put the<br>
found version number into a variable, and use the new-style<br>
find_package_handle_standard_args(... VERSION_VAR ...) macro to evaluate it,<br>
it will fail if it is not good.<br>
<br>
For creating a FooConfigVersion.cmake file (when installing your own library),<br>
you may use the WriteBasicConfigVersionFile.cmake (since cmake 2.8.6) which<br>
writes a basic version file for you, which you can install along with your<br>
library.<br>
