The app embedding jaeger-cpp isn't using hunter, and cannot use hunter.

So that is true. Hunter does not to global installs. That is the point, to allow for multiple different versions and builds of the same library. If you want to use the Jaeger C++ client without Hunter, the answer is pretty straightforward: look for the hunter_add_package/find_package calls and install those libs. Yes I should add proper documentation, but in lieu of that, this workaround should suffice.

Also, don't forget HUNTER_ENABLED=0.

Yeah, I spent most of yesterday figuring that out, hence the README draft I've submitted. I had to write or integrate a bunch of find_packsge modules too, but got there. I'll expand the README entry on Hunter a smidge. Then I'll add a cmake message on hunter-enabled build completion to tell users that they must use Hunter to link to the resulting jaeger-cpp. Then can probably close this.

[ringerc]

OK, so this is by design. You can't use jaeger-cpp's default Hunter build unless you also use Hunter.

Cool, document and done. I'll deal with this as part of the coming PR for the README.
