Description
I created a Conan package for yoga, but I have to patch out the line add_subdirectory(tests) in CMakeLists.txt because I do not want to build the tests when creating the package. A CMake option would be nice, something like option(BUILD_TESTS "Build tests" ON).
I am not allowed to contribute to yoga due to the Meta CLA, thus I closed the PR where I propose such a change.

Research direction
Start in CMakeLists.txt at add_subdirectory(tests) and review the existing CMake configuration. Add the requested option so package builds can skip the tests while the default continues to build them. Verify both option settings with a CMake configure or build.
