Missing header files in spack installed v2.4.2

[jfinney10]

I've installed v2.4.2 using spack v0.23.1 and our application includes CLI/App.hpp. It seems that the headers in the imp directory are not included in the installation procedure and are not present in our installation directory.

Not sure if this is an issue on the spack installation script or in the cli11 cmake scripts. I do see that the CLI11_impl_headers is included in the Cmake target CLI11 so I don't think that's the issue, but I can't tell. Any direction here?

@nightlark, this might be something we want to make sure is resolved for the next release.

[jfinney10]

Is it a known issue?

[phlptp]

I don't think so, I haven't heard it before, but I also don't know too many people using it with spack, so connecting with the some folks who setup the spack package. I suspect it is something in that vs in this repo.

I don't know much about the spack package configs, so I am of limited help here.
