The function configure_package_config_file() may be used instead of
configure_file() for generating the Config.cmake files for installation,
they help to make those files relocatable.

Do not use file(TO_NATIVE_PATH) to compute the value to store in the
registry. It is meant for constructing values to be put in shells.
Since find_package() can use the value with CMake-normalized slashes do
not bother with any conversion.
Teach the FindPackagTest to try creating the appropriate HKLM system
package registry value. If it works then add a test to verify that
find_package() reads it as expected. Then delete the value to cleanup.
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.
This patch makes include() and find_package() prefer cmake files
located in CMAKE_ROOT over those in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH.
This makes sure that the including file gets that file included
which it expects, i.e. the one from cmake with which it was tested.
It only changes behaviour when such an included file exists both
in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH and in CMAKE_ROOT.
This comes together with a new policy CMP0017, with default
behaviour it behaves as it always did, but warns.
With NEW behaviour it includes the file from CMAKE_ROOT
instead from CMAKE_MODULE_PATH. This fixes (if CMP0017 is set)
building KDE 4.5 with cmake >= 2.8.3.
Also a basic test for this policy in included.
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.
For builds from Git repositories, add "-g<commit>" to the end of the
version number. If the source tree is modified, append "-dirty".
For builds from CVS checkouts, add "-cvs-<branch>".
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.
We teach the FindPackageTest to build a sample project that stores its
build tree in the user package registry using export(PACKAGE), and then
find it with find_package.
Recently we taught find_package to re-find a package if its
<package>_DIR result variable was set to a location not containing the
package (instead of reporting an error as before). This tests the
feature.
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.
The previous change to test finding in lib/cmake/<name>* weakened the
versioned find tests. Since the lib/cmake paths are searched before
lib/<name>* paths the previous change skipped requiring the command to
ignore zot-3.0 when finding zot-3.1. This change restores that and adds
zot-4.0 to test the lib/cmake path.
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.
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.
Provide VERSION_LESS, VERSION_EQUAL, and VERSION_GREATER operators in
the if() command. This simplifies component-wise comparison of version
numbers in the form "major[.minor[.patch[.tweak]]]".
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.
- Added EXACT option to request an exact version.
- Enforce version using check provided by package.
- Updated FindPackageTest to test versioning in config mode.
CMAKE_FIND_PREFIX_PATH is both an environment variable and a cmake variable,
which is a list of base directories where FIND_PATH, FIND_FILE, FIND_PROGRAM
and FIND_LIBRARY will search in the respective subdirectories
