CMAKE_FIND_DEBUG_MODE — CMake 3.29.1 Documentation

# CMAKE_FIND_DEBUG_MODE

New in version 3.17.

Print extra find call information for the following commands to standard error:

- `find_program()`

- `find_library()`

- `find_file()`

- `find_path()`

- `find_package()`

Output is designed for human consumption and not for parsing. Enabling this variable is equivalent to using `cmake --debug-find` with the added ability to enable debugging for a subset of find calls.

    set(CMAKE_FIND_DEBUG_MODE TRUE)
    find_program(...)
    set(CMAKE_FIND_DEBUG_MODE FALSE)

Default is unset.
