Thank you both! I'm now a bit farther along in my port - the current stumbling block is that I'm trying to include a genode-world port (lua) and it can't seem to find what version to pull, I assume because its not archived in depot.genode.org
Is there a recommended way to include these projects? Right now I'm just building a seperage version statically but it seems a little silly

Hopefully a simple question- I am trying to port a CMake project (arcan https://github.com/letoram/arcan/tree/master) that uses Freetype and looks for it using find_package(Freetype REQUIRED QUIET). I've added 'freetype' to 'used_apis' but that did not seem to make it happy. Worth noting, I am doing this in a separate directory from my Genode git clone, I assume that is not a problem? This article https://genodians.org/jschlatow/2024-01-11-lomiri-calculator-porting seems to suggest that there is a way to add a CMake file that satisfies it. I found this file https://github.com/Manabu-GT/sdl_core/blob/aed19cd68e02b11e27275c05e00cf242a337553a/cmake/Modules/FindQt5Core.cmake#L4 on github, but I don't understand what it's doing and it's not the same one referenced in the article.
Goa looks for the FindXxx.cmake files in the api archives. However, Our freetype library port does not yet come with a .cmake file. The FindXxx.cmake files you find in other projects can be quite complex. Since Goa takes care of adding the corresponding include paths and linker options, it is often sufficient to just set the XXX_FOUND variable to True. In other words, adding a FindXxx.cmake file to an api archive is just a way of making CMake happy once the corresponding archive has been added to the used_apis file.
You may have a look at https://github.com/genodelabs/genode/blob/master/repos/libports/recipes/api/... or https://github.com/genodelabs/genode-world/blob/master/recipes/api/sdl2/cont... for two examples of how to add .cmake files to api archives.
