Integrate ROOT into my project with CMake

[Adrian]

I have installed root with cmake. When the installation was complete, I removed the source directory.

Now, I’m trying to integrate ROOT in my project with CMake. I’m following the steps in https://root.cern.ch/how/integrate-root-my-project-cmake

It does not work because I removed the ROOT sources. I get

-- Found ROOT libraries in /home/adrian/Soft/root-6.14.06/lib
-- ROOT libraries: /home/adrian/Soft/root-6.14.06/lib/libCore.so;/home/adrian/Soft/root-6.14.06/lib/libImt.so;/home/adrian/Soft/root-6.14.06/lib/libRIO.so;/home/adrian/Soft/root-6.14.06/lib/libNet.so;/home/adrian/Soft/root-6.14.06/lib/libHist.so;/home/adrian/Soft/root-6.14.06/lib/libGraf.so;
[...]
CMake Error at /home/adrian/Soft/root-6.14.06/ROOTUseFile.cmake:4 (include):
  include could not find load file:

    /home/adrian/Downloads/root-6.14.06/cmake/modules/RootNewMacros.cmake
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  src/CMakeLists.txt:15 (include)

If I keep the root source files, I can build my project just fine.

How can I decouple my project from the original ROOT source files. It must be possible to refer to the ROOT install directory, right?

Thank you for your help.
