Add the function cmake_expand_imported_targets() to expand imported
targets in a list of libraries into their on-disk file names for a
particular configuration. Adapt the implementation from KDE's
HANDLE_IMPORTED_TARGETS_IN_CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES which has been in
use for over 2 years. Call the function from all the Check*.cmake
macros to handle imported targets named in CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES.

A lot of the libraries won't be found by default so will spit out
all sorts of errors. Don't kill QT_LIBRARIES_PLUGINS altogether as
it is sometimes useful.
The Borland compiler was re-branded as CodeGear during 2007-2009 and
since 2009 is the Embarcadero compiler. They offer predefined macros:
http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/en/Predefined_Macros
and distinguish themselves by __CODEGEARC__ and __CODEGEARC_VERSION__.
Version 6.30 (C++Builder XE) changed the meaning of some flags:
http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/en/C%2B%2B_Compiler_Option_Changes_for_XE
Teach Embarcadero compiler information files to generate build rules
with flags matching the compiler version. Leave the flags unchanged
for old Borland versions. Always set the BORLAND toolchain indicator
for compatibility with existing projects that test it. Also set the
EMBARCADERO indicator for newer toolchains.
The GenerateExportHeaders test was failing on one machine, the version
could not be determined there, so the _gcc_version was empty,
so the first argument to if() was empty, so it complained:
http://open.cdash.org/testDetails.php?test=135623436&build=2016288
Use double quotes to turn the non-existant first argument into an empty
string.
Alex
Since we know which compiler we have we can test those OpenMP flags first that
are likely to be correct. This doesn't make any difference for GNU compilers,
but it should avoid useless try_compiles and output cluttering for all others.
The Borland compiler is now the Embarcadero compiler. Rename the shared
platform information file to reflect this. This does not change the
interface, as old versions are still "Borland", but will allow new
versions released by Embarcadero to be supported cleanly.
Newer Ruby versions (from 1.9 onward) seem to warn if you query Config::CONFIG
and print a warning to use RbConfig instead. RbConfig seems to also work in
older versions, at least in 1.8. Use a macro to query RbConfig first and only
if that doesn't give anything fall back to Config.
This contains a change, which changes the behaviour a bit:
now X11_xf86vmode_FOUND is only set to TRUE and the include directory
is added to X11_INCLUDE_DIR, if additionally to X11_xf86vmode_INCLUDE_PATH
also X11_Xxf86vm_LIB has been found.
I hope this doesn't cause regressions somewhere.

Configure the build_mingw.cmake.in config_mingw.cmake.in files
into the binary directory of the directory being built, not the
top level binary directory for the project.
This also cleans up a bunch of things on the way:
-when perl was queried for paths they were not converted to CMake style on
Windows.
-the result when perl was queried for the perl library name was ignored since
it was expanded with the possible paths, which is not a valid input for
find_library(). If perl returns a library name we now will look only for this
name and not for the default names and use the default names only when the
executable does not give us a hint.
-get rid of 2 variables that were only used at one place and directly put the
values in the call to find_library() and find_path().

Also, removed detection of header file from <PREFIX>/include.
Can't find any example in alsa source code where the library headers
were installed outside of <PREFIX>/include/alsa.
We do not yet support "make install" in the external project case.
Document this explicitly in the interface. Require the caller to use an
option to "disable" the unsupported behavior. This will allow us to add
the behavior by default in the future without clobbering existing
projects that handle the installation themselves.
cmake_add_fortran_directory uses imported targets when using the
mingw fortran compiler. This change makes those targets global
in scope so they act just like the real targets that exist when
a fortran compiler exists and regular add_subdirectory is used.
Verify that MINGW_GFORTRAN not only points to a MinGW gfortran but also
one that compiles for the target architecture. This prevents using a
32-bit gfortran in a 64-bit MSVC build.
In the find_program(MINGW_GFORTRAN) call use the PATHS option for
hard-coded guesses instead of HINTS. This allows the user environment
to override the guesses and corrects usage of the command options.
Fix the implementation to allow full paths with spaces. Change the
interpretation of relative paths to be with respect to the current binary
directory. This matches the convention used in ExternalProject. Test
both full and relative paths in the VSGNUFortran test.
This patch adds a new module that allows for easy integration of MinGW
gfortran and the Visual Studio compiler. It is done in a function called
cmake_add_fortran_subdirectory. The patch also includes a test for this
feature.
Define a "check_language(<lang>)" macro to test whether <lang> can be
enabled. Cache the result in CMAKE_<lang>_COMPILER. Add a test case
covering expected results.
If CXX or Fortran is enabled before C then the values of
CMAKE_SHARED_MODULE_C_FLAGS
CMAKE_SHARED_MODULE_CREATE_C_FLAGS
may not be available. On platforms where MODULE library (plugin) creation
is the same as SHARED library creation initialize the MODULE creation
flags from the SHARED creation flags of the matching language instead of
assuming that C has been enabled first.
Teach the COnly and CxxOnly tests to build MODULE libraries. The latter
covers this specific case.
Causes compiler modules (currently only GNU) to set a
CMAKE_DEPFILE_FLAGS_${lang} variable, which communicates to
the generator the flags required to cause the compiler to create
dependency files.
CHECK_INCLUDE_FILES("foo.h" HAVE_FOO_H) gave an output like:
Looking for include files HAVE_FOO_H
After this change it does now what CHECK_INCLUDE_FILE() also does:
Looking for include files foo.h
When using the NSIS generator from CPack the file NSIS.template.in is
used to generate a project.nsi file for NSIS to process. The file
consists code in the NSIS scripting language. Among other functions
there is an onInit function the initializes the installer. The function
(tries to) recognise admin and power users but fails since NSIS
scripting language relative includes the jump from the current command
so +3 means "run the third command after this one", so a failed check
for admin completely skips the check for a power user and goes directly
to "done:".
User permission lookup was added in initial NSIS support by commit
a11b9a4c (Merge from CPack branch, 2006-01-01). Later commit b1b052fd
(Several changes to for NSIS, 2006-03-01) added a line inside a block
that should be skipped by a jump without updating the jump length.
Update the jump length to correct the behavior.
If the debug and release libraries are the same (which usually means only one
of them was found) do not output the library as "optimized" and "debug", but
just as one plain library. At the end this means that the Find* output of the
avarage (Un*x) user will be much less cluttered.
RUBY_VERSION was always set, even if no RUBY_EXECUTABLE was found. While it
may make sense to assume a default version if we can't execute the binary, it
certainly doesn't make sense to report a version if there is no executable at
all.

- Enhance extract doc parser. Seems robust now. The legacy
module documentation parser works as before ignoring
the new markup.
- Proof of concept for CPack (generic), CPack RPM and CPack Deb
generator for macro and variables.
Try cpack --help-command and cpack --help-variables
The language is very simple. It use ##<keyword> special comment
which opens a structured documentation block and ##end closes it.
This may be used to extract documentation for macro as 'command'
and 'variables' such that cpack --help-command and --help-variable
does parse builtin modules files (CPack.cmake, CPackComponent.cmake,
...) in order to extract the corresponding doc.
QNX has the phtread stuff in the standard library. The best way would
IMHO be to check if a program that uses pthread_* can be successfully
linked without specifying any linker option before trying out the
different flags.
Change to consider a library embedded if it is found in a subdirectory relative to the
using executable/library. Previous commit considered them local.
This case is encountered when @rpath is used with framework libraries, which are inside a directory tree.
On dashmacmini2 the test showed output like this:
-- Found PythonInterp: /usr/bin/python (found version "Unknown option: --
usage: /usr/bin/python [option] ... [-c cmd | file | -] [arg] ...
Try `python -h' for more information.")
On my machine where python outputs "Python 2.7" this worked, but
PYTHON_VERSION_MAJOR, PYTHON_VERSION_MINOR, and PYTHON_VERSION_PATCH were all
set to "2.7".
Add some checks that the version output has the expected form before using it.
This allows the developer to tell FindPythonInterp which Python version should
be searched for. This allows the right version to be chosen for a project
without user assistance if there are specific requirements. This is especially
useful as it is common to have major versions 2 and 3 installed in parallel,
which are partly incompatible.

Otherwise the compiler may optimize out the reference to the symbol as the
previous version was not really using this. This leads to symbols that are
only in a header but not in the given libraries to be reported as present.
This came up on the first try to fix bug 11333 as "gcc -O3" would optimize
out the reference to pthread_create() so the correct library the symbol is in
was not detected.
The new test code was suggested by Brad King.

First this fixes the bug that e.g. version "1.0.0" was shown as "1..". When
pkg-config was used to find OpenSSL the header file was parsed for the version
number even if pkg-config returned it already. Finally we also include the
patch level (i.e. the letter after the version number) in OPENSSL_VERSION.
When GIT_EXECUTABLE points at ".../Git/cmd/git.cmd" in an msysGit
installation we previously failed to detect the version number in a
subtle case. The "git.cmd" assumes 'chcp' is in PATH. It is typically
available at "C:\Windows\System32\chcp.com". On 64-bit Windows the File
System Redirector maps this location to "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\chcp.com"
for 32-bit processes. However, some Windows installations fail to
provide chcp.com at this path. Whenever git.cmd runs in a 32-bit
command shell, as it does under a 32-bit CMake binary, it reports
'chcp' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
on stderr. Capture stderr separately so it does not affect parsing
of the version number.
See also msysGit issue 358:
http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/issues/detail?id=358
Note that FindGit prefers "git.cmd" over "git.exe" because it sets up
the proper HOME environment variable necessary for Git ssh connections
to work the same as they do from the Git bash prompt.
Decode decimal digits from _SGI_COMPILER_VERSION or _COMPILER_VERSION to
compute version number components. See documentation at:
http://predef.sourceforge.net/precomp.html
The MSVC, HP, XL, SunPro, Watcom, Borland, and Intel compilers specify
their version number in components encoded in a single integer value.
Document the components that we use to compute version numbers.
Decode hex digits from __SUNPRO_C and __SUNPRO_CC to compute the version
number components. Note that the constant encodes decimal digits as hex
digits (never larger than 9). We represent them as decimal after
extraction. See documentation at
http://predef.sourceforge.net/precomp.html
Although the documented version number format is
0xVRP where V = Version, R = Revision, P = Patch
it holds only though SunPro C/C++ version 5.9. Later versions have
a two-digit revision (minor) number so their format is 0xVRRP.
When cmake searches for Python libs in Windows it searches in:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Python\\PythonCore\\${_CURRENT_VERSION}\\InstallPath]/libs
However, the information might not always reside there. The information
could also reside in:

The default OS X 10.4 linker incorrectly searches for dependencies of
linked shared libraries only under the -isysroot location. It fails to
find dependencies of linked shared libraries in cases such as the
ExportImport test. It produces errors like:
/usr/libexec/gcc/i686-apple-darwin8/4.0.1/ld: warning can't open dynamic library:
libtestLib3Imp.dylib
referenced from: /.../ExportImport/Root/lib/libtestLib3lib.1.2.dylib

Note how "/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk" is prepended to the dependent
library path.
Commit 2cff26fa (Support linking to shared libs with dependent libs,
2008-01-31) and commit 82fcaebe (Pass dependent library search path to
linker on some platforms, 2008-02-01) worked around the problem by
defining platform variable CMAKE_LINK_DEPENDENT_LIBRARY_FILES. It tells
CMake to link to dependent libraries explicitly by their path thus
telling the linker where to find them.
Unfortunately the workaround had the side effect of linking dependent
libraries and defeats most benefits of LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES.
Fortunately OS X 10.5 and above do not need to find transitive
dependencies at all so we can avoid the workaround on Modern OS X.
Previously we linked C, Fortran, and ASM shared libraries compiled with
the HP compiler using a direct invocation of the linker (ld). This
behavior was left historically from support for an ancient HP C compiler
that did not know how to create shared libraries. Fortran shared
libraries need to be linked with the compiler to get the language
runtime library dependencies as is already done for C++.
Update the HP-UX-HP* platform information to use the compiler front end
when linking shared libraries. This works on modern HP tools and
produces correct behavior. If there is a need to support older tools
again we can add a special case for them.

automoc now defaults to strict mode, also with Qt4, i.e. it behaves as

The User may now specific a list of file that shouldn't be

The concerned files/dir lines will be removed from the set

The mingw32-make tool does not handle parenthesis in the path to a
source file consistently. When CMake is installed in a typical location
like "c:\Program Files (x86)\CMake 2.8\" the mingw32-make tool fails on

due to parens in the path to the FortranCInterface source directory.
However, the behavior varies with the file name of build.make:
>copy CMakeFiles\myfort.dir\build.make CMakeFiles\myfort.dir\build2.make

This allows you to have more than source file with the same name but different
directories. The intermediate and configuration files are now in this same directory.
Nvcc can emit '/path' instead of '//path' which can cause a lot of grief later. We test
to see if the file exists, if it doesn't then we see if the file exists with '/'
prepended. Files that don't exist won't be added to the list.
Fix a long outstanding bug when a file in the dependency list wasn't found. This bug
wouldn't reset the dependencies, so the makefile would still want the missing file when
building. The work around was to configure twice, but this is no longer necessary.
Teach the Windows-GNU.cmake platform file to look for Visual Studio
tools matching the target ABI. Add an extra step to the link command
for shared libraries and executables that export symbols and on which a
new GNUtoMS property is set (initialized by the CMAKE_GNUtoMS option).
Tell the GNU linker to output a module definition (.def) file listing
exported symbols in addition to the GNU-format import library (.dll.a).
Pass the .def file to the MS "lib" tool to construct a MS-format DLL
import library (.lib).
Teach the install(TARGETS) command to install the MS import library next
to the GNU one. Teach the install(EXPORT) and export() command to set
the IMPORTED_IMPLIB property pointing at the import library to use the
import library matching the tools in the importing project.
Load platform files named in CMAKE_<lang>_ABI_FILES for each language
once the ABI sizeof(void*) is known. During the first configuration
this is after the test for working compiler and ABI detection checks.
During later configurations the ABI information is immediately available
because it has been saved in CMake<lang>Compiler.cmake.
Use __SIZEOF_POINTER__ which the GNU Fortran compiler defines at least
on 64-bit MinGW. Assume default size 4 on MinGW if gfortran does not
define the size.
Adding VERBATIM to the ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND calls in the qt4 macros
ensures that paths are properly quoted when passed to the shell.
This fixes issues when building projects that contained paths with
special characters (according to /bin/sh), such as parentheses or
spaces.
Use the "-shared" option to link shared libraries. The compiler does
not support "-Wl," or "-rpath" but does know how to pass "-soname"
through to the linker.
Perform multiple separate searches in order. If ZLIB_ROOT is set search
it exclusively so it takes precedence over CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH. This
allows a user to provide -DZLIB_ROOT=/path/to/zlib/prefix on the CMake
command line to tell it exactly where to find zlib. Otherwise fall back
to a normal search.

Handle @rpath much like other Unixes, by doing a find_file with the given directories.
Also, consider a library to be local if it is found in the same directory or a subdirectory relative to the user
executable/library. Previously, it was local only if found in the same directory.
This case is encountered when @rpath is used with framework libraries, which are inside a directory tree.
Previously ECLIPSE_CDT4_GENERATE_SOURCE_PROJECT was used, but the
new name CMAKE_ECLIPSE_GENERATE_SOURCE_PROJECT is more in line with
the general naming conventions in cmake, and, more importantly IMO,
in cmake-gui it now appears right next to the other eclipse-related
variables, which all start with CMAKE_ECLIPSE_.
A warning is printed if the old variable is TRUE and the new one isn't,
so users should notice that they have to enable the new one.

E.g. plasma_package_org.kde.activityswitcher.po will now be installed
correctly as plasma_package_org.kde.activityswitcher.mo, and not as
plasma_package_org.mo.
This is kind-of related to #12282

I've just found out that use of FindBISON.cmake shipped with CMake 2.8
on system where bison++ is default bison executable (e.g. Debian Linux)
will result in corrupted CMakeCache.txt file and parse error due to
"Offending entry"
As FindBISON.cmake logic used to obtain installed bison executable
version is tailored to match only the message used in GNU Bison it fails
on absolutely different Bison++ version message and whole version
message including \n characters is stored into BISON_VERSION which is
then dumped into CMakeCache.txt, so everything after first \n character
makes "Offending entry".
467ee36 Check plugin variables are defined before warning.
4571ea6 Don't resolve directories; are never relative.
9cfc920 Match fixup_qt4_executable with documentation.
This commit adds a new target property AUTOMOC_MOC_OPTIONS, which
can be set to add extra options for the moc invocations done via automoc.
This is equivalent to the OPTIONS parameter in the qt4_wrap_cpp() macro.

COVERAGE_EXTRA_FLAGS is a space separated value of extra flags
that will be passed to gcov when ctest's coverage handler invokes
gcov to do coverage analysis.
Map to CoverageExtraFlags in the CTest ini file. Use default value
of "-l" to match the coverage handler's earlier behavior from ctest
2.8.4 and earlier. The fix for related issue #11717 had added a " -p"
which was the cause of both #12415 and #12490. Here, we revert that
change to the default value, so -p is no longer there by default.
The people that care to add -p may do so in their own build trees
by appending " -p" to the new cache variable COVERAGE_EXTRA_FLAGS.

71402eb FortranCInterface: Compile separate Fortran lib in VerifyC[XX]
Making this a macro had unintended issues on (among others) Windows
compilers. Moving it back to being a function using PARENT_SCOPE still
satisfies the use case where we simply want to obtain the extra flags.
Use the ENV{LIB} variable directly instead of parsing the output of the
whole environment from "set". Store the output in a .cmake script and
include it from CMakeDetermineCompilerABI instead of using file(READ).
To use VS C and Fotran in the same solution, it is required that VS be
able to find the Fortran run time libraries as they will be implicitly
linked by any Fortran library used by VS C programs. This adds a check
into CMakeDetermineCompilerABI using a try-compile to find the correct
PATH.
The Intel Fortran plugin for Visual Studio requires Fortran source files
to be compiled in a separate target from C and C++ code. Compile the
VerifyFortran.f source file in a separate library and link the main
VerifyFortanC executable to it.

Re-fix problem exposed by recent commit to FindPythonInterp.
If the find "details" has new lines in it, then replace them
with the empty string so that the string may be saved as a
cache entry that can be re-read next time CMake runs.
Use REGEX REPLACE, and replace with an empty string, eliminating
the problem characters, so that we may easily extend this to
include additional problem characters in the future if necessary.
Currently the VS generators do not support Intel C/C++ .icproj files and
the MS tools do not include a Fortran compiler. Therefore we can always
set the C and CXX compiler IDs to "MSVC" and the Fortran ID to "Intel".
This fixes a regression in support for the Intel Fortran compiler under
the VS plugin introduced by commit cd43636c (Modernize Intel compiler
info on Windows, 2010-12-16). The commit moved the compiler information
into platform files that only load when the proper compiler id is set.
It worked for the NMake Makefiles generator but not for the VS IDE
generator because it did not set the compiler id.

FindBoost now attempts to find Boost using find_package(Boost NO_MODULE)
before it does a module mode search.
User can now set any of these to Boost's install prefix to detect it in module
or config mode:
- Boost_DIR for consistency with other CMake modules
- BOOST_ROOT or BOOSTROOT for adherence to boost convention
Define a "Fortran_FORMAT" target and source file property. Initialize
the target property from a "CMAKE_Fortran_FORMAT" variable. Interpret
values "FIXED" and "FREE" to indicate the source file format. Append
corresponding flags to the compiler command line.
- Build wasn't properly using -soname linker args, so installed libraries
could depend on relative paths from the build directory.
- Consolidated GNU linker args to one place in the BlueGeneP-base platform
file, since ld is used by both XL and GNU toolchains on BlueGene.
Linking broken on non-AIX machines when using XL compilers due to those
machines not using the CreateExportList tool. Made use of this tool
conditional on finding it.

Fix problem exposed by recent commit to FindPythonInterp.
If the find "details" has new lines in it, then replace them
with literal "\n" two character sequences so that the string
may be saved as a cache entry that can be re-read next time
CMake runs.
Using the second mode of FIND_PACKAGE_HANDLE_STANDARD_ARGS allows for
checking the version number. Now a user can require a minimum version of
the python interpreter with find_package(PythonInterp VERSION)
The old approach to determine the python executeable chooses the newest
version from _Python_VERSIONS if no additonal versions are passed.
With python it is possible to install different versions side-by-side.
Therefore a user can install e.g. python 2.5 and 2.7. Python 2.7 maybe
only installed for testing new features and 2.5 for building and running
his software. Thus the default installation for the user would be python
2.5 and then returning PYTHON_EXECUTEABLE python2.7 would be wrong. The
new approuch searches first for the the default python executable e.g.
/usr/bin/python on unix and if it can't be found _Python_VERSIONS is
used.
In --find-package mode we can't enable a language, since a lot of
stuff has not been set up, e.g. which make tool to use.
So disable enable_language() in this mode.
Alex
The test "complex" sets the variable CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY
to 1.4. When that variable is set, configure_file does not default
to IMMEDIATE mode processing. And so, the output file likely does
not exist yet by the time the next line in the CMakeLists.txt file
is processed. When that next line is "try_compile" on that file,
this is a problem.
Fix the problem by explicitly using IMMEDIATE in the configure_file
call.
This problem was quite mysterious, as it only showed up on the
"complex" test, when the previous commit introduced a CheckSymbolExists
call into the FindThreads module. Which is not even explicitly included
in the "complex" test... FindThreads gets included indirectly only
as a side effect of setting CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY to 1.4 and
even then it's included indirectly by auto-inclusion of
CMakeBackwardCompatibilityC.cmake...
Wow. Just wow.
This fixes the problem that otherwise Platforms/CYGWIN.cmake doesn't
know whether it should set WIN32 or not.
Now it uses always the current behaviour.
Alex
QNX has the phtread stuff in the standard library. The best way would
IMHO be to check if a program that uses pthread_* can be successfully
linked without specifying any linker option before trying out the
different flags.
To support Intel Fortran, CMake started using devenv and VCExpress
for build tools with VS2010. However, VCExpress does not always work.
This change makes CMake use MSBuild when devenv is not found. This should
be OK, since Intel Fortran can not be used with VCExpress.

CMAKE_${LANGUAGE}_LANGUAGE_ARCHITECTURE has not been set, it globs
for the files in /lib, and uses the first one which matches
CMAKE_LIBRARY_ARCHITECTURE_REGEX.

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.

Fix NSIS template to more thoroughly use CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_REGISTRY_KEY.
This allows different versions of software to have a separate sections in the
registry to keep track of things (installed components, and uninstall stuff).
Change default of CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_REGISTRY_KEY to follow the value of
CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_DIRECTORY so if an installation overwrites another installation,
the proper registry entries are more likely to be overwritten.
Fix CPack/NSIS generator to not insert code in the NSIS template to skip installation
of already installed components. This enables a repair like behavior and also enables
installing patch releases on top of an older installation.
Allows wlib to generate proper exports if two routines have
the same spelling, but different case (like Scale and scale).
Thanks to J Decker for the patch.
On Apple's gcc, the compiler emits a warning such as "warning: command
line option "-Wno-deprecated" is valid for C++/ObjC++ but not for C"
when it is passed that flag on its command line.
When testing for that flag with a plain C file, we should report that
the flag is unsupported for C files. The new FAIL_REGEX option added
here produces this behavior.
In both files find_path() and find_library() are called with multiple
additional search PATHS which are already anyway part of the default
search dirs, so it should be safe to remove them.

What was given as comment to set_package_info(), now goes into
the PURPOSE field. It was not clear what the comment should contain,
with the PURPOSE this is much clearer now.
Alex
With the PURPOSE a project can state what the package in question
is used for in the project (as opposed to describing what the package
does in general).
TYPE can be one of OPTIONAL (default)
RUNTIME - not needed for building, only at runtime
RECOMMENDED - as OPTIONAL, but you should really have it
REQUIRED - cmake will fail if one of these is not found
This can be set using the new function set_package_properties()

In find-package mode, cmake executes Modules/CMakeFindPackage.cmake,
which calls find_package(), and this is then evaluated in cmake.cxx,
which prints an appropriate message to stdout, so it can be used

-DCOMPILER_ID=GNU -DLANGUAGE=C -DMODE=EXIST
JPEG found.

This reverts commit 1088b0278e.
Wrapper dependency scanning (fix for #4147) does not work at CMake
configuration time if an input file is provided by a custom command
(regression #12307). Revert to original behavior until a solution is
found.
8555c2b Look for VCExpress as a possible build tool as well as devenv.
ed0075b Use relative paths for custom command inputs.
38368d5 Revert "With very long file names, VS 2010 was unable to compile files."
8cd66dc Use devenv instead of msbuild for vs2010.
If FindMPI can't interrogate any of the available compilers, it attempts to compile simple MPI
programs with CMAKE_${lang}_COMPILER. If this works, it uses that as MPI_${lang}_COMPILER.
This allows MPI to be discovered on Cray XT/XE systems, where modules are used and cc, CC, and ftn
compilers *are* MPI compilers.
Without this, regular swig (not 2.0) executable is not found
automatically.
Commit 55b7c87e (Add support for new swig 2.0 application, 2011-03-28)
added support for finding swig 2.0 at the (accidental) expense of not
finding 1.x. Fix this regression.
