Simplify usage for older GDAL by using CMake's supplied find module

Open Ryanf55 opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

What does this PR do?

  • Recommend using CMake's supplied find module if using older GDAL versions
  • Remove broken recommendation for creating a GDAL::GDAL target

Note - Ubuntu 20 comes with CMake 3.16, so this should cover all non-EOL OS's that people will generally be using. We intentionally ignore the edge cases of custom find modules because we will assume people writing those know what they are doing.
