If in Config mode a configuration file could not be found, cmake printed
an error, but did not actually stop processing. With SetFatalErrorOccured
it does.

Define variable CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_WARN_NO_MODULE for use by a project
that wants to use an explicit mode in every call to find_package in
order to generate more specific failure messages. Word the warning
using the new CONFIG and MODULE mode keywords when the minimum required
version of CMake is new enough to have them. Otherwise word the warning
using the old NO_MODULE mode keyword.

Explain exactly why CMake is looking for a package configuration file
and who is expected to provide what:
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:7 (find_package):
By not providing "Find<pkg>.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH the caller
has asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by
"<pkg>", but CMake did not find one.
Could not find a package configuration file provided by "<pkg>"
with any of the names:
<pkg>Config.cmake
<pkg>-config.cmake
Add the installation prefix of "<pkg>" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or
set "<pkg>_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.
If "<pkg>" provides separate development package or SDK be sure
it has been installed.
The first paragraph explains how CMake is interpreting the intention of
the caller. This puts the blame or credit at the call site in the
project code where it belongs both when it is a bug and when it is
intentional. It can be dropped in NO_MODULE mode.

In commit 41c2895b (Added version support to Config mode of find_package
command, 2008-01-28) the error message was computed but was not
reported. Add the SetError call to report it.
All find_* commands re-root the list of paths and then add trailing
slashes. Factor this pair of calls out into a dedicated method. The
new method would be the only caller to AddTrailingSlashes, so subsume
that method into it.

This macro can be used to generate basic version files which can be
installed along a Config.cmake file to provide versioning support.
This (3rd try) is implemented using a macro, which maps
the COMPATIBILITY mode to a filename and configure_file()s the
resulting file.

Now found packages are not stored in ENABLED/DISABLED_FEATURES
anymore, but always in PACKAGES_FOUND/NOT_FOUND.
ENABLED/DISABLED_FEATURES is now only used via
ADD_FEATURE_INFO(), e.g. for stuff set via option().
Alex
As discussed, this adds a switch CMAKE_DISABLE_FIND_PACKAGE_<name>,
which, when set to TRUE, keeps the find_package() command from executing.
When the package is REQUIRED at the same time, an error is generated.
Alex
Implement support for multiarch as specified here:
http://wiki.debian.org/Multiarchhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultiarchSpec
Detect the <arch> part of <prefix>/lib/<arch> from the implicit library
search path from each compiler to set CMAKE_<lang>_LIBRARY_ARCHITECTURE.
Define CMAKE_LIBRARY_ARCHITECTURE using one of these values (they should
all be the same). Teach the find_library and find_package commands to
search <prefix>/lib/<arch> whenever they would search <prefix>/lib.
The system package registry is under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE which
has separate views for 32-bit and 64-bit applications. Look in both
views, but prefer the architecture matching the build target platform.
Generalize the "user package registry" created by commit ed0650f6 (Teach
find_package to search a "package registry", 2009-09-01). Define a
corresponding "system" registry key under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. This
gives package installers a place to create a registry value that points
at the right location for find_package() to locate the package.
Delete only REG_SZ entries that are specifically detected to point to
invalid paths. This will allow future versions to add other value types
for different purposes.
Some find modules call find_package recursively to locate a package
configuration file for the package instead of searching for individual
pieces. Commit 79e9b755 (Help recursive find_package calls in modules,
2008-10-03) taught find_package to forward the version number and EXACT
arguments through the recursive call automatically. Do the same for the
component list.
Delay computation of the command documentation until it is needed.
It is wasteful to do it in the constructor on every call.

The patch also contains the small loop-optimization suggested by Brad.
Alex
Before this patch there were two separate vectors, and the code made sure
they always had the same size.
With this patch the code doesn't have to ensure this anymore, there is only
one vector now.
Alex
If in config-mode config files have been found by find_package(), but their
version didn't match the requested version, now all considered files
and their versions are printed (instead of saying "didn't find config file)
Alex
As suggested on cmake-devel, find_package in Config-mode now records
all considered config-files and their versions in
<package>_CONSIDERED_CONFIGS and <package>_CONSIDERED_VERSIONS respectively.
Alex
find_package() now also stores the required version automatically, so it
can be used by FeatureSummary.cmake.
This was one of the requested features for setting up nightly builds
for KDE, since with this functionality it will be possible to write
a file at the end of each project which lists all required packages
and their versions. This file could then be compared for equality
with an older one and if something has changed the build maintainer
can be emailed.
In FeatureSummary.cmake there is now a new function feature_summary(),
which also allows to print the log to a file or into a variable.
It also allows to specify whether to append to a file or to write a new
one, and what information to log.
Docs are still missing.
Alex
Add platform configuration variable CMAKE_SYSTEM_IGNORE_PATH and user
configuration variable CMAKE_IGNORE_PATH. These specify a set of
directories that will be ignored by all the find commands. Update
FindPackageTest so that several cases will fail without a functioning
CMAKE_IGNORE_PATH.
When <pkg>_DIR is set to an incorrect version we search again and store
the result in the variable, even if it is <pkg>_DIR-NOTFOUND.
There was a bug in the case when the new search does not find anything
and the old value came from a cache entry with UNINITALIZED type. The
command used to try to load a package configuration file from the last
place searched, and would leave the old wrong value in the entry. This
commit fixes the behavior to avoid trying to load a missing file and to
set the value to <pkg>_DIR-NOTFOUND as expected.
This converts the CMake license to a pure 3-clause OSI-approved BSD
License. We drop the previous license clause requiring modified
versions to be plainly marked. We also update the CMake copyright to
cover the full development time range.
Applications on Haiku are discouraged from storing their data in $HOME.
This teaches export(PACKAGE) and find_package() to use the BeAPI on
Haiku to store the package registry instead of using ~/.cmake/packages.
See issue #9603.
The GNU compiler warns about possible operator precedence mistakes and
asks for explicit parentheses (-Wparentheses). We add the parentheses
to silence the warning. This also fixes one real logic error in the
find_package() implementation by correcting expression evaluation order.
A common user workflow is to build a series of dependent projects in
order. Each project locates its dependencies with find_package. We
introduce a "user package registry" to help find_package locate packages
built in non-standard search locations.
The registry explicitly stores locations of build trees providing
instances of a given package. There is no defined order among the
locations specified. These locations should provide package
configuration files (<package>-config.cmake) and package version files
(<package>-config-version.cmake) so that find_package will recognize the
packages and test version numbers.
The find_package commands looks at the "WhereBuild" registry entries
created by CMakeSetup and cmake-gui hoping that the project was recently
built. CMakeSetup created WhereBuild1..WhereBuild10 but cmake-gui
creates WhereBuild0-WhereBuild9.
This fixes find_package to look at WhereBuild0 so that the most recently
configured project can be found. It is important in the case that the
package to be found was the last one configured in cmake-gui but the
current project that is finding it is configured from the command line.
Isolation of policy changes inside scripts is important for protecting
the including context. This teaches include() and find_package() to
imply a cmake_policy(PUSH) and cmake_policy(POP) around the scripts they
load, with a NO_POLICY_SCOPE option to disable the behavior. This also
creates CMake Policy CMP0011 to provide compatibility. See issue #8192.
Recently we taught find_package to re-find a package configuration file
if it is given a wrong answer. This fixes the documentation to reflect
the change.
to by the Foo_DIR variable there is no FooConfig.cmake file, then instead of
abort and complain that the user should set or clear the Foo_DIR variables,
just search for the file and discard the old Foo_DIR contents
The tests succeed, ok by Brad.
Alex
We now search in
<prefix>/<name>*/
<prefix>/<name>*/(cmake|CMake)
when looking for package configuration files. This is useful on Windows
since the Program Files folder is in CMAKE_SYSTEM_PREFIX_PATH. These
paths are the Windows equivalent to the Apple convention application and
framework paths we already search. See issue #8264.
When the find_package command loads a <name>-version.cmake file to test
the package version it must prevent the version file from affecting
policy settings. Therefore the policy settings must be pushed and
popped.
This teaches find_package to search
<prefix>/(share|lib)/cmake/<name>*/
for package configuration files. Packages that do not already have
files in a <prefix>/lib/<name>* directory can use this location to avoid
cluttering the lib directory.
When the find_package command loads a module it sets several
<pkg>_FIND_XXX variables to communicate information about the command
invocation to the module. This restores the original state of the
variables when the command returns. This behavior is useful when a
find-module recursively calls find_package with NO_MODULE so that the
inner call does not change the values in the find-module.
Recently we taught find_package that the NO_MODULE option is implied
when it is recursively invoked in a find-module. This behavior may be
confusing because two identical calls may enter different modes
depending on context. It also disallows the possibility that one
find-module defers to another find-module by changing CMAKE_MODULE_PATH
and recursively invoking find_package. This change reverts the feature.
Package version test files may now declare that they are unsuitable for
use with the project testing them. This is important when the version
being tested does not provide a compatible ABI with the project target
environment.
These changes teach find_package to behave nicely when invoked
recursively inside a find-module for the same package. The module will
never be recursively loaded again. Version arguments are automatically
forwarded.
Make the number of version components specified explicitly available.
Set variables for unspecified version components to "0" instead of
leaving them unset. This simplifies version number handling for find-
and config-modules. Also support a fourth "tweak" version component
since some packages use them.
Use the new-style error reporting mechanism to provide more context
information for a find_package call with a bad package name. When the
package is not required, issue a warning instead of an error.
- The CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH and similar variables have both
environment and CMake cache versions.
- Previously the environment value was checked before the
cache value.
- Now the cache value is favored because it is more specific.
- Hints are searched after user locations but before system locations
- The HINTS option should have paths provided by system introspection
- The PATHS option should have paths that are hard-coded guesses
- Add each part of the search order in a separate method.
- Collect added paths in an ivar in cmFindCommon.
- Move user path storage up to cmFindCommon and share
between cmFindBase and cmFindPackageCommand.
- Expand user path registry values up in cmFindCommon
- Enables 32-/64-bit registry view for find_package
- Disables registry expansion for paths not specified
with the PATHS argument, which is not expected.
- Added EXACT option to request an exact version.
- Enforce version using check provided by package.
- Updated FindPackageTest to test versioning in config mode.
- Use CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH and CMAKE_SYSTEM_PREFIX_PATH among other means
to locate package configuration files.
- Create cmFindCommon as base for cmFindBase and cmFindPackageCommand
- Move common functionality up to cmFindCommon
- Improve documentation of FIND_* commands.
- Fix FIND_* commands to not add framework/app paths in wrong place.
the cmake run and add macros print_enabled/disabled_features() and
set_feature_info(), so projects can get a nice overview at the end of the
cmake run what has been found and what hasn't
FIND_PACKAGE() automatically adds the packages to these global properties,
except when used with QUIET
Maybe this can also be useful for packagers to find out dependencies of
projects.
