Regression Issue

• Select this option if this issue appears to be a regression.

Expected Behavior

Successful build from release archive

Current Behavior

Failed build

Reproduction Steps

wget https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-cpp/archive/refs/tags/1.11.485.zip
unzip 1.11.485.zip
cd aws-sdk-cpp-1.11.485/
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..

CMake Warning at CMakeLists.txt:9 (message):
  In 1.11 releases, we are releasing experimental alternative building
  mode.By setting -DLEGACY_BUILD=OFF you can test our advances in modern
  CMake building and provide early feedback.  The legacy support is set by
  default in 1.11, when you complete build updating scripts please update the
  build flags as mentioned in README.md and set -DLEGACY_BUILD=OFF.  The
  legacy support will be removed at 1.12.0 release.

there is two ways we provide to achieve what you want to, and they are included for this scenario specifically.

• use the prefetch_crt_dependency.sh script to bring the crt into the directories that the build expects it

i.e. in a Dockerfile

FROM public.ecr.aws/amazonlinux/amazonlinux:2023

# Install toolchain
RUN yum groupinstall -y 'Development Tools' && \
    yum install -y ninja-build cmake3 curl-devel openssl-devel wget

#install sdk without using submodules
RUN wget https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-cpp/archive/refs/tags/1.11.485.zip && \
    unzip 1.11.485.zip && \
    cd aws-sdk-cpp-1.11.485 && \
    ./prefetch_crt_dependency.sh && \
    mkdir build && \
    cd build && \
    cmake3 -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/crt-install -DBUILD_ONLY=s3 -DENABLE_TESTING=OFF  .. && \
    cmake3 --build . && \
    cmake3 --install .

• use the BUILD_DEPS parameter to build with a pre-exsiting install of CRT

i.e. in a Dockerfile

FROM public.ecr.aws/amazonlinux/amazonlinux:2023

# Install toolchain
RUN yum groupinstall -y 'Development Tools' && \
    yum install -y ninja-build cmake3 curl-devel openssl-devel wget

# Install crt-cpp, but this can be replaced with any way you wish to install the CRT
RUN git clone --recurse-submodules -b v0.29.9 https://github.com/awslabs/aws-crt-cpp.git && \
    cd aws-crt-cpp && \
    mkdir build && \
    cd build && \
    cmake3 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/crt-install .. && \
    cmake3 --build . && \
    cmake3 --install .

#install sdk without using submodules
RUN wget https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-cpp/archive/refs/tags/1.11.485.zip && \
    unzip 1.11.485.zip && \
    cd aws-sdk-cpp-1.11.485 && \
    mkdir build && \
    cd build && \
    cmake3 -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/crt-install -DBUILD_ONLY=s3 -DENABLE_TESTING=OFF -DBUILD_DEPS=OFF  .. && \
    cmake3 --build . && \
    cmake3 --install .
