Summary0000651: FindCoin3D should look in /usr/include/Coin3 for COIN3D_INCLUDE_DIR

I believe it would normally be /usr/include/Coin but the Fedora package maintainer wants to support multiple Coin installs because various dependencies need a specific version. The easiest thing to do if you're using cmake for building is to specify the location manually, i.e.:

cmake -DCOIN3D_INCLUDE_DIR=%{_includedir}/Coin2 \
       -DCOIN3D_DOC_PATH=%{_datadir}/Coin2/Coin \

I'm using Coin2 since Coin3 isn't in Fedora yet. It appears to work fine.

I'm actually working on packaging FreeCAD for Fedora but it will have to go into RPM Fusion because of OCC/OCE which I've already got there. I'm working on Pivy and zipios++ now, which are the last dependencies/bundled libs.

Great that you are working on a package; I saw something about that in the forums. Pivy seems to build fine as long as you get v0.5 from the Mercurial repo.

I think for the cmake stuff it would still be reasonable to have /usr/include/Coin and /usr/include/Coin3 and /usr/include/Coin2 in that order, but others will have more informed opinions on this.

You might be able to convince the module maintainer for FindCoin3D to do that. I'm not sure what distros use the /usr/include/Coin{,2,3} convention.

The current module doesn't even specify a path or hint so I guess it returns on the first hit. I would think as long as you only have one version installed you'd be okay but with more than one it may be luck of the draw.
