CMAKE-MODULES(7)

NAME
cmake-modules - CMake Modules Reference

The modules listed here are part of the CMake distribution. Projects may provide further modules; their location(s) can be specified in the CMAKE_MODULE_PATH variable.

UTILITY MODULES

These modules are loaded using the include() command.

  AndroidTestUtilities

Added in version 3.7.

Create a test that automatically loads specified data onto an Android device.

  Introduction

Use this module to push data needed for testing an Android device behavior onto a connected Android device. The module will accept files and libraries as well as separate destinations for each. It will create a test that loads the files into a device object store and link to them from the specified destination. The files are only uploaded if they are not already in the object store.

For example:

    include(AndroidTestUtilities)
    android_add_test_data(
      example_setup_test
      FILES <files>...
      LIBS <libs>...
      DEVICE_TEST_DIR "/data/local/tests/example"
      DEVICE_OBJECT_STORE "/sdcard/.ExternalData/SHA"
      )

At build time a test named "example_setup_test" will be created. Run this test on the command line with ctest(1) to load the data onto the Android device.

  Module Functions

android_add_test_data

        android_add_test_data(<test-name>
          [FILES <files>...] [FILES_DEST <device-dir>]
          [LIBS <libs>...]   [LIBS_DEST <device-dir>]
          [DEVICE_OBJECT_STORE <device-dir>]
          [DEVICE_TEST_DIR <device-dir>]
          [NO_LINK_REGEX <strings>...]
          )

    The android_add_test_data function is used to copy files and libraries needed to run project-specific tests. On the host operating system, this is done at build time. For on-device testing, the files are loaded onto the device by the manufactured test at run time.

    This function accepts the following named parameters:

FILES <files>...
    zero or more files needed for testing

LIBS <libs>...
    zero or more libraries needed for testing

FILES_DEST <device-dir>
    absolute path where the data files are expected to be

LIBS_DEST <device-dir>
    absolute path where the libraries are expected to be

DEVICE_OBJECT_STORE <device-dir>
    absolute path to the location where the data is stored on-device

DEVICE_TEST_DIR <device-dir>
    absolute path to the root directory of the on-device test location

NO_LINK_REGEX <strings>...
    list of regex strings matching the names of files that should be copied from the object store to the testing directory

  BundleUtilities

Functions to help assemble a standalone bundle application.

A collection of CMake utility functions useful for dealing with .app bundles on the Mac and bundle-like directories on any OS.

NOTE: Do not use these functions at configure time (from CMakeLists.txt). Instead, invoke them from an install(CODE) or install(SCRIPT).

  Functions

The following functions are provided by this module:

fixup_bundle

        fixup_bundle(<app> <libs> <dirs> [IGNORE_ITEM <file>...])

    Fix up <app> bundle in-place and make it standalone, such that it can be drag-n-drop copied to another machine and run on that machine as long as all of the system libraries are compatible.

    If you pass plugins to fixup_bundle as the libs parameter, you should install them or copy them into the bundle before calling fixup_bundle. The <libs> parameter is a list of libraries that must be fixed up, but that cannot be determined by otool output analysis (i.e. plugins).

    Gather all the keys for all the executables and libraries in a bundle, and then, for each key, copy each prerequisite into the bundle. Then fix each one up according to its own list of prerequisites.

    Then clear all the keys and call verify_app on the final bundle to ensure that it is truly standalone.

    Added in version 3.6: As an optional parameter (IGNORE_ITEM) a list of file names can be passed, which are then ignored (e.g. IGNORE_ITEM "vcredist_x86.exe;vcredist_x64.exe").

copy_and_fixup_bundle

        copy_and_fixup_bundle(<src> <dst> <libs> <dirs>)

    Makes a copy of the bundle <src> at location <dst> and then fixes up the new copied bundle in-place at <dst>.

verify_app

        verify_app(<app> [IGNORE_ITEM <file>...])

    Verifies that an application <app> appears valid based on running analysis tools on it. Calls message(FATAL_ERROR) if the application is not verified.

    Added in version 3.6: As an optional parameter (IGNORE_ITEM) a list of file names can be passed, which are then ignored (e.g. IGNORE_ITEM "vcredist_x86.exe;vcredist_x64.exe")

get_bundle_main_executable

        get_bundle_main_executable(<bundle> <result_var>)

    The result will be the full path name of the bundle's main executable file or an error: prefixed string if it could not be determined.

get_dotapp_dir

        get_dotapp_dir(<exe> <dotapp_dir_var>)

    Returns the nearest parent dir whose name ends with .app given the full path to an executable. If there is no such parent dir, then simply return the dir containing the executable.

    The returned directory may or may not exist.

get_bundle_and_executable

        get_bundle_and_executable(<app> <bundle_var> <executable_var> <valid_var>)

    Takes either a .app directory name or the name of an executable nested inside a .app directory and returns the path to the .app directory in <bundle_var> and the path to its main executable in <executable_var>.

get_bundle_all_executables

        get_bundle_all_executables(<bundle> <exes_var>)

    Scans <bundle> bundle recursively for all <exes_var> executable files and accumulates them into a variable.

get_item_key

        get_item_key(<item> <key_var>)

    Given <item> file name, generate <key_var> key that should be unique considering the set of libraries that need copying or fixing up to make a bundle standalone. This is essentially the file name including extension with . replaced by _

    This key is used as a prefix for CMake variables so that we can associate a set of variables with a given item based on its key.

get_item_rpaths

        get_item_rpaths(<item> <rpaths_var>)

    Get RPATHS of the <item> file name and store them to the variable with provided name <rpaths_var>.

clear_bundle_keys

        clear_bundle_keys(<keys_var>)

    Loop over the <keys_var> list of keys, clearing all the variables associated with each key. After the loop, clear the list of keys itself.

    Caller of get_bundle_keys should call clear_bundle_keys when done with list of keys.

set_bundle_key_values

        set_bundle_key_values(<keys_var> <context> <item> <exepath> <dirs>
                              <copyflag> [<rpaths>])

    Add <keys_var> key to the list (if necessary) for the given item. If added, also set all the variables associated with that key.

get_bundle_keys

        get_bundle_keys(<app> <libs> <dirs> <keys_var> [IGNORE_ITEM <file>...])

    Loop over all the executable and library files within <app> bundle (and given as extra <libs>) and accumulate a list of keys representing them. Set values associated with each key such that we can loop over all of them and copy prerequisite libs into the bundle and then do appropriate install_name_tool fixups.

    Added in version 3.6: As an optional parameter (IGNORE_ITEM) a list of file names can be passed, which are then ignored (e.g. IGNORE_ITEM "vcredist_x86.exe;vcredist_x64.exe")

copy_resolved_item_into_bundle

        copy_resolved_item_into_bundle(<resolved_item> <resolved_embedded_item>)

    Copy a resolved item into the bundle if necessary. Copy is not necessary, if the <resolved_item> is "the same as" the <resolved_embedded_item>.

copy_resolved_framework_into_bundle

        copy_resolved_framework_into_bundle(<resolved_item> <resolved_embedded_item>)

    Copy a resolved framework into the bundle if necessary. Copy is not necessary, if the <resolved_item> is "the same as" the <resolved_embedded_item>.

    By default, BU_COPY_FULL_FRAMEWORK_CONTENTS is not set. If you want full frameworks embedded in your bundles, set BU_COPY_FULL_FRAMEWORK_CONTENTS to ON before calling fixup_bundle. By default, COPY_RESOLVED_FRAMEWORK_INTO_BUNDLE copies the framework dylib itself plus the framework Resources directory.

fixup_bundle_item

        fixup_bundle_item(<resolved_embedded_item> <exepath> <dirs>)

    Get the direct/non-system prerequisites of the <resolved_embedded_item>. For each prerequisite, change the way it is referenced to the value of the _EMBEDDED_ITEM keyed variable for that prerequisite. (Most likely changing to an @executable_path style reference.)

    This function requires that the <resolved_embedded_item> be inside the bundle already. In other words, if you pass plugins to fixup_bundle as the libs parameter, you should install them or copy them into the bundle before calling fixup_bundle. The libs parameter is a list of libraries that must be fixed up, but that cannot be determined by otool output analysis. (i.e., plugins)

    Also, change the id of the item being fixed up to its own _EMBEDDED_ITEM value.

    Accumulate changes in a local variable and make one call to install_name_tool at the end of the function with all the changes at once.

    If the BU_CHMOD_BUNDLE_ITEMS variable is set then bundle items will be marked writable before install_name_tool tries to change them.

verify_bundle_prerequisites

        verify_bundle_prerequisites(<bundle> <result_var> <info_var>
                                    [IGNORE_ITEM <file>...])

    Verifies that the sum of all prerequisites of all files inside the bundle are contained within the bundle or are system libraries, presumed to exist everywhere.

    Added in version 3.6: As an optional parameter (IGNORE_ITEM) a list of file names can be passed, which are then ignored (e.g. IGNORE_ITEM "vcredist_x86.exe;vcredist_x64.exe")

verify_bundle_symlinks

        verify_bundle_symlinks(<bundle> <result_var> <info_var>)

    Verifies that any symlinks found in the <bundle> bundle point to other files that are already also in the bundle... Anything that points to an external file causes this function to fail the verification.

  CheckCCompilerFlag

Check once whether the C compiler supports a given flag.

check_c_compiler_flag

        check_c_compiler_flag(<flag> <resultVar>)

    Check once that the <flag> is accepted by the compiler without a diagnostic. The result is stored in the internal cache variable specified by <resultVar>, with boolean true for success and boolean false for failure.

    true indicates only that the compiler did not issue a diagnostic message when given the flag. Whether the flag has any effect is beyond the scope of this module.

    Internally, try_compile() is used to perform the check. If CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_TARGET_TYPE is set to EXECUTABLE (default), the check compiles and links an executable program. If set to STATIC_LIBRARY, the check is compiled but not linked.

    See also check_compiler_flag() for a more general command syntax.

    The compile and link commands can be influenced by setting any of the following variables prior to calling check_c_compiler_flag(). Unknown flags in these variables can case a false negative result.

CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS
    String of additional flags to pass to the compiler. The string must be space-delimited--a ;-list will not work. The contents of CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS and its associated configuration-specific variable are automatically added to the compiler command before the contents of CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS.

CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS
    A ;-list of compiler definitions of the form -DFOO or -DFOO=bar. A definition for the name specified by <resultVar> will also be added automatically.

CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES
    A ;-list of header search paths to pass to the compiler. These will be the only header search paths used--the contents of the INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES directory property will be ignored.

CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_OPTIONS
    Added in version 3.14.

    A ;-list of options to add to the link command (see try_compile() for further details).

CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES
    A ;-list of libraries to add to the link command. These can be the name of system libraries or they can be Imported Targets (see try_compile() for further details).

CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_DIRECTORIES
    Added in version 3.31.

    A ;-list of libraries search paths to pass to the linker (see try_compile() for further details).

    Added in version 3.1.

    If this variable evaluates to a boolean true value, all status messages associated with the check will be suppressed.

  CheckCompilerFlag

Added in version 3.19.

Check once whether the <lang> compiler supports a given flag.

check_compiler_flag

        check_compiler_flag(<lang> <flag> <resultVar>)

    Check once that the <flag> is accepted by the <lang> compiler without a diagnostic. The result is stored in the internal cache variable specified by <resultVar>, with boolean true for success and boolean false for failure.

    true indicates only that the compiler did not issue a diagnostic message when given the flag. Whether the flag has any effect is beyond the scope of this module.

    Internally, try_compile() is used to perform the check. If CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_TARGET_TYPE is set to EXECUTABLE (default), the check compiles and links an executable program. If set to STATIC_LIBRARY, the check is compiled but not linked.

                                [FAIL_REGEX <regex1> [<regex2>...]])

    Check once that the source supplied in <code> can be built. The result is stored in the internal cache variable specified by <resultVar>, with boolean true for success and boolean false for failure.

    If FAIL_REGEX is provided, then failure is determined by checking if anything in the compiler output matches any of the specified regular expressions.

    Internally, try_compile() is used to compile the source. If CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_TARGET_TYPE is set to EXECUTABLE (default), the source is compiled and linked as an executable program. If set to STATIC_LIBRARY, the source is compiled but not linked. In any case, all functions must be declared as usual.

    See also check_source_compiles() for a more general command syntax.

    See also check_source_runs() to run compiled source.

    The compile and link commands can be influenced by setting any of the following variables prior to calling check_c_source_compiles():

check_c_source_runs

        check_c_source_runs(<code> <resultVar>)

    Check once that the source supplied in <code> can be built, linked as an executable, and then run. The <code> must contain at least a main() function.

    The result is stored in the internal cache variable specified by <resultVar>. If the code builds and runs with exit code 0, success is indicated by boolean true. Failure to build or run is indicated by boolean false, such as an empty string or an error message.

    See also check_source_runs() for a more general command syntax.

    The compile and link commands can be influenced by setting any of the following variables prior to calling check_c_source_runs():

CMAKE_REQUIRED_QUIET
    Added in version 3.1.

    If this variable evaluates to a boolean true value, all status messages associated with the check will be suppressed.

  CheckCXXSymbolExists

Check if a symbol exists as a function, variable, or macro in C++.

check_cxx_symbol_exists

        check_cxx_symbol_exists(<symbol> <files> <variable>)

    Check that the <symbol> is available after including given header <files> and store the result in a <variable>. Specify the list of files in one argument as a semicolon-separated list. check_cxx_symbol_exists() can be used to check for symbols as seen by the C++ compiler, as opposed to check_symbol_exists(), which always uses the C compiler.

    If the header files define the symbol as a macro it is considered available and assumed to work. If the header files declare the symbol as a function or variable then the symbol must also be available for linking. If the symbol is a type, enum value, or C++ template it will not be recognized: consider using the CheckTypeSize or CheckSourceCompiles module instead.

    NOTE: This command is unreliable when <symbol> is (potentially) an overloaded function. Since there is no reliable way to predict whether a given function in the system environment may be defined as an overloaded function or may be an overloaded function on other systems or will become so in the future, it is generally advised to use the CheckSourceCompiles module for checking any function symbol (unless somehow you surely know the checked function is not overloaded on other systems or will not be so in the future).

    The following variables may be set before calling this macro to modify the way the check is run:

CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS
    String of additional flags to pass to the compiler. The string must be space-delimited--a ;-list will not work. The contents of CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS and its associated configuration-specific variable are automatically added to the compiler command before the contents of CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS.

CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS
    A ;-list of compiler definitions of the form -DFOO or -DFOO=bar. A definition for the name specified by <resultVar> will also be added automatically.

CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES
    A ;-list of header search paths to pass to the compiler. These will be the only header search paths used--the contents of the INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES directory property will be ignored.

CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_OPTIONS
    Added in version 3.14.

    A ;-list of options to add to the link command (see try_compile() for further details).

CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES
    A ;-list of libraries to add to the link command. These can be the name of system libraries or they can be Imported Targets (see try_compile() for further details).

CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_DIRECTORIES
    Added in version 3.31.

    A ;-list of libraries search paths to pass to the linker (see try_compile() for further details).

CMAKE_REQUIRED_QUIET
    Added in version 3.1.

    If this variable evaluates to a boolean true value, all status messages associated with the check will be suppressed.

    For example:

        include(CheckCXXSymbolExists)
        # Check for macro SEEK_SET
        check_cxx_symbol_exists(SEEK_SET "cstdio" HAVE_SEEK_SET)
        # Check for function std::fopen
        check_cxx_symbol_exists(std::fopen "cstdio" HAVE_STD_FOPEN)

  CheckFortranCompilerFlag

Added in version 3.3.

Check once whether the Fortran compiler supports a given flag.

check_fortran_compiler_flag

        check_fortran_compiler_flag(<flag> <resultVar>)

    Check once that the <flag> is accepted by the compiler without a diagnostic. The result is stored in the internal cache variable specified by <resultVar>, with boolean true for success and boolean false for failure.

    true indicates only that the compiler did not issue a diagnostic message when given the flag. Whether the flag has any effect is beyond the scope of this module.

    Internally, try_compile() is used to perform the check. If CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_TARGET_TYPE is set to EXECUTABLE (default), the check compiles and links an executable program. If set to STATIC_LIBRARY, the check is compiled but not linked.

    See also check_compiler_flag() for a more general command syntax.

    The compile and link commands can be influenced by setting any of the following variables prior to calling check_fortran_compiler_flag(). Unknown flags in these variables can case a false negative result.

CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS
    String of additional flags to pass to the compiler. The string must be space-delimited--a ;-list will not work. The contents of CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS and its associated configuration-specific variable are automatically added to the compiler command before the contents of CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS.

CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS
    A ;-list of compiler definitions of the form -DFOO or -DFOO=bar. A definition for the name specified by <resultVar> will also be added automatically.

CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES
    A ;-list of header search paths to pass to the compiler. These will be the only header search paths used--the contents of the INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES directory property will be ignored.

CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_OPTIONS
    Added in version 3.14.

    A ;-list of options to add to the link command (see try_compile() for further details).

CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES
    A ;-list of libraries to add to the link command. These can be the name of system libraries or they can be Imported Targets (see try_compile() for further details).

CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_DIRECTORIES
    Added in version 3.31.

    A ;-list of libraries search paths to pass to the linker (see try_compile() for further details).

CMAKE_REQUIRED_QUIET
    Added in version 3.1.

    If this variable evaluates to a boolean true value, all status messages associated with the check will be suppressed.

  CheckFortranFunctionExists

Check if a Fortran function exists.

check_fortran_function_exists

        check_fortran_function_exists(<function> <result>)

    where

<function>
    the name of the Fortran function

<result>
    variable to store the result; will be created as an internal cache variable.

    NOTE: This command does not detect functions in Fortran modules. In general it is recommended to use CheckSourceCompiles instead to determine if a Fortran function or subroutine is available.

    The following variables may be set before calling this macro to modify the way the check is run:

CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_OPTIONS
    Added in version 3.14.

    A ;-list of options to add to the link command (see try_compile() for further details).

CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES
    A ;-list of libraries to add to the link command. These can be the name of system libraries or they can be Imported Targets (see try_compile() for further details).

CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_DIRECTORIES
    Added in version 3.31.

    A ;-list of libraries search paths to pass to the linker (see try_compile() for further details).

  CheckFortranSourceCompiles

Added in version 3.1.

Check once if Fortran source code can be built.

check_fortran_source_compiles

        check_fortran_source_compiles(<code> <resultVar>
            [FAIL_REGEX <regex>...]
            [SRC_EXT <extension>]
        )

    Check once that the source supplied in <code> can be built. The result is stored in the internal cache variable specified by <resultVar>, with boolean true for success and boolean false for failure.

    If FAIL_REGEX is provided, then failure is determined by checking if anything in the compiler output matches any of the specified regular expressions.

    By default, the test source file will be given a .F file extension. The SRC_EXT option can be used to override this with .<extension> instead-- .F90 is a typical choice.

    See also check_source_compiles() for a more general command syntax.

    See also check_source_runs() to run compiled source.

    Internally, try_compile() is used to compile the source. If CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_TARGET_TYPE is set to EXECUTABLE (default), the source is compiled and linked as an executable program. If set to STATIC_LIBRARY, the source is compiled but not linked. In any case, all functions must be declared as usual.

    The compile and link commands can be influenced by setting any of the following variables prior to calling check_fortran_source_compiles():

CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS
    String of additional flags to pass to the compiler. The string must be space-delimited--a ;-list will not work. The contents of CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS and its associated configuration-specific variable are automatically added to the compiler command before the contents of CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS.

CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS
    A ;-list of compiler definitions of the form -DFOO or -DFOO=bar. A definition for the name specified by <resultVar> will also be added automatically.

CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES
    A ;-list of header search paths to pass to the compiler. These will be the only header search paths used--the contents of the INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES directory property will be ignored.

CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_OPTIONS
    Added in version 3.14.

    A ;-list of options to add to the link command (see try_compile() for further details).

CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES
    A ;-list of libraries to add to the link command. These can be the name of system libraries or they can be Imported Targets (see try_compile() for further details).

CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_DIRECTORIES
    Added in version 3.31.

    A ;-list of libraries search paths to pass to the linker (see try_compile() for further details).

CMAKE_REQUIRED_QUIET
    Added in version 3.1.

    If this variable evaluates to a boolean true value, all status messages associated with the check will be suppressed.

  CheckFortranSourceRuns

Added in version 3.14.

Check once if given Fortran source compiles and links into an executable and can subsequently be run.

check_fortran_source_runs

        check_fortran_source_runs(<code> <resultVar>
            [SRC_EXT <extension>])

    Check once that the source supplied in <code> can be built, linked as an executable, and then run. The <code> must contain a Fortran program.

    The result is stored in the internal cache variable specified by <resultVar>. If the code builds and runs with exit code 0, success is indicated by boolean true. Failure to build or run is indicated by boolean false, such as an empty string or an error message.

        check_fortran_source_runs("program test
        real :: x[*]
        call co_sum(x)
        end program"
        HAVE_COARRAY)

    By default, the test source file will be given a .F90 file extension. The SRC_EXT option can be used to override this with .<extension> instead.

    See also check_source_runs() for a more general command syntax.

    The compile and link commands can be influenced by setting any of the following variables prior to calling check_fortran_source_runs():

CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS
    String of additional flags to pass to the compiler. The string must be space-delimited--a ;-list will not work. The contents of CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS and its associated configuration-specific variable are automatically added to the compiler command before the contents of CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS.

CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS
    A ;-list of compiler definitions of the form -DFOO or -DFOO=bar. A definition for the name specified by <resultVar> will also be added automatically.

CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES
    A ;-list of header search paths to pass to the compiler. These will be the only header search paths used--the contents of the INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES directory property will be ignored.

CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_OPTIONS
    Added in version 3.14.

    A ;-list of options to add to the link command (see try_compile() for further details).

CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES
    A ;-list of libraries to add to the link command. These can be the name of system libraries or they can be Imported Targets (see try_compile() for further details).

CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_DIRECTORIES
    Added in version 3.31.

    A ;-list of libraries search paths to pass to the linker (see try_compile() for further details).

CMAKE_REQUIRED_QUIET
    Added in version 3.1.

    If this variable evaluates to a boolean true value, all status messages associated with the check will be suppressed.

  CheckFunctionExists

Check once if a C function can be linked from system libraries.

check_function_exists

        check_function_exists(<function> <variable>)

    Checks that the <function> is provided by libraries on the system and store the result in internal cache variable <variable>.

    The following variables may be set before calling this macro to modify the way the check is run:

CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS
    String of additional flags to pass to the compiler. The string must be space-delimited--a ;-list will not work. The contents of CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS and its associated configuration-specific variable are automatically added to the compiler command before the contents of CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS.

CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS
    A ;-list of compiler definitions of the form -DFOO or -DFOO=bar. A definition for the name specified by <resultVar> will also be added automatically.

CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES
    A ;-list of header search paths to pass to the compiler. These will be the only header search paths used--the contents of the INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES directory property will be ignored.

CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_OPTIONS
    Added in version 3.14.

    A ;-list of options to add to the link command (see try_compile() for further details).

CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES
    A ;-list of libraries to add to the link command. These can be the name of system libraries or they can be Imported Targets (see try_compile() for further details).

    Added in version 3.31.

    A ;-list of libraries search paths to pass to the linker (see try_compile() for further details).

CMAKE_REQUIRED_QUIET
    Added in version 3.1.

    If this variable evaluates to a boolean true value, all status messages associated with the check will be suppressed.

    NOTE: Prefer using CheckSymbolExists or CheckSourceCompiles instead of this module, for the following reasons:

•   check_function_exists() can't detect functions that are inlined in headers or specified as a macro.

•   check_function_exists() can't detect anything in the 32-bit versions of the Win32 API, because of a mismatch in calling conventions.

•   check_function_exists() only verifies linking, it does not verify that the function is declared in system headers.

  CheckIncludeFileCXX

Provides a macro to check if a header file can be included in CXX.

check_include_file_cxx

        check_include_file_cxx(<include> <variable> [<flags>])

    Check if the given <include> file may be included in a CXX source file and store the result in an internal cache entry named <variable>. The optional third argument may be used to add compilation flags to the check (or use CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS below).

    The following variables may be set before calling this macro to modify the way the check is run:

CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS
    String of additional flags to pass to the compiler. The string must be space-delimited--a ;-list will not work. The contents of CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS and its associated configuration-specific variable are automatically added to the compiler command before the contents of CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS.

CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS
    A ;-list of compiler definitions of the form -DFOO or -DFOO=bar. A definition for the name specified by <resultVar> will also be added automatically.

    Added in version 3.14.

    A ;-list of options to add to the link command (see try_compile() for further details).

    Added in version 3.31.

    A ;-list of libraries search paths to pass to the linker (see try_compile() for further details).

CMAKE_REQUIRED_QUIET
    Added in version 3.1.

    If this variable evaluates to a boolean true value, all status messages associated with the check will be suppressed.

    See modules CheckIncludeFile and CheckIncludeFiles to check for one or more C headers.

  CheckIncludeFile

Provides a macro to check if a header file can be included in C.

check_include_file

        check_include_file(<include> <variable> [<flags>])

    Check if the given <include> file may be included in a C source file and store the result in an internal cache entry named <variable>. The optional third argument may be used to add compilation flags to the check (or use CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS below).

    The following variables may be set before calling this macro to modify the way the check is run:

CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS
    String of additional flags to pass to the compiler. The string must be space-delimited--a ;-list will not work. The contents of CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS and its associated configuration-specific variable are automatically added to the compiler command before the contents of CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS.

CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS
    A ;-list of compiler definitions of the form -DFOO or -DFOO=bar. A definition for the name specified by <resultVar> will also be added automatically.

CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES
    A ;-list of header search paths to pass to the compiler. These will be the only header search paths used--the contents of the INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES directory property will be ignored.

CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_OPTIONS
    Added in version 3.14.

    A ;-list of options to add to the link command (see try_compile() for further details).

CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES
    A ;-list of libraries to add to the link command. These can be the name of system libraries or they can be Imported Targets (see try_compile() for further details).

    Added in version 3.31.

    A ;-list of libraries search paths to pass to the linker (see try_compile() for further details).

CMAKE_REQUIRED_QUIET
    Added in version 3.1.

    If this variable evaluates to a boolean true value, all status messages associated with the check will be suppressed.

    See the CheckIncludeFiles module to check for multiple headers at once. See the CheckIncludeFileCXX module to check for headers using the CXX language.

  CheckIncludeFiles

Provides a macro to check if a list of one or more header files can be included together.

check_include_files

        check_include_files("<includes>" <variable> [LANGUAGE <language>])

    Check if the given <includes> list may be included together in a source file and store the result in an internal cache entry named <variable>. Specify the <includes> argument as a ;-list of header file names.

    If LANGUAGE is set, the specified compiler will be used to perform the check. Acceptable values are C and CXX. If not set, the C compiler will be used if enabled. If the C compiler is not enabled, the C++ compiler will be used if enabled.

    The following variables may be set before calling this macro to modify the way the check is run:

CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS
    String of additional flags to pass to the compiler. The string must be space-delimited--a ;-list will not work. The contents of CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS and its associated configuration-specific variable are automatically added to the compiler command before the contents of CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS.

CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS
    A ;-list of compiler definitions of the form -DFOO or -DFOO=bar. A definition for the name specified by <resultVar> will also be added automatically.

CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES
    A ;-list of header search paths to pass to the compiler. These will be the only header search paths used--the contents of the INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES directory property will be ignored.

CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_OPTIONS
    Added in version 3.14.

    A ;-list of options to add to the link command (see try_compile() for further details).

CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES
    A ;-list of libraries to add to the link command. These can be the name of system libraries or they can be Imported Targets (see try_compile() for further details).

    Added in version 3.31.

    A ;-list of libraries search paths to pass to the linker (see try_compile() for further details).

CMAKE_REQUIRED_QUIET
    Added in version 3.1.

    If this variable evaluates to a boolean true value, all status messages associated with the check will be suppressed.

    See modules CheckIncludeFile and CheckIncludeFileCXX to check for a single header file in C or CXX languages.

  CheckIPOSupported

Added in version 3.9.

Check whether the compiler supports an interprocedural optimization (IPO/LTO). Use this before enabling the INTERPROCEDURAL_OPTIMIZATION target property.

check_ipo_supported

        check_ipo_supported([RESULT <result>] [OUTPUT <output>]
                            [LANGUAGES <lang>...])

    Options are:

RESULT <result>
    Set <result> variable to YES if IPO is supported by the compiler and NO otherwise. If this option is not given then the command will issue a fatal error if IPO is not supported.

OUTPUT <output>
    Set <output> variable with details about any error.

LANGUAGES <lang>...
    Specify languages whose compilers to check.

    The following languages are supported:

•   C

•   CXX

•   CUDA

    Added in version 3.25.

•   Fortran

    If this option is not given, the default languages are picked from the current ENABLED_LANGUAGES global property.

    NOTE: To use check_ipo_supported(), policy CMP0069 must be set to NEW; otherwise, a fatal error will occur.

    Added in version 3.13: Support for Visual Studio generators.

    Added in version 3.24: The check uses the caller's CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS and CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS_<CONFIG> values. See policy CMP0138.

  Examples

    check_ipo_supported() # fatal error if IPO is not supported
    set_property(TARGET foo PROPERTY INTERPROCEDURAL_OPTIMIZATION TRUE)

    # Optional IPO. Do not use IPO if it's not supported by compiler.
    check_ipo_supported(RESULT result OUTPUT output)
    if(result)
      set_property(TARGET foo PROPERTY INTERPROCEDURAL_OPTIMIZATION TRUE)
    else()
      message(WARNING "IPO is not supported: ${output}")
    endif()

  CheckLanguage

Check whether a language can be enabled by the enable_language() or project() commands:

check_language

        check_language(<lang>)

    Try enabling language <lang> in a test project and record results in the cache:

CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER
    If the language can be enabled, this variable is set to the compiler that was found. If the language cannot be enabled, this variable is set to NOTFOUND.

    If this variable is already set, either explicitly or cached by a previous call, the check is skipped.

CMAKE_<LANG>_HOST_COMPILER
    This variable is set when <lang> is CUDA or HIP.

    If the check detects an explicit host compiler that is required for compilation, this variable will be set to that compiler. If the check detects that no explicit host compiler is needed, this variable will be cleared.

    If this variable is already set, its value is preserved only if CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER is also set. Otherwise, the check runs and overwrites CMAKE_<LANG>_HOST_COMPILER with a new result. Note that CMAKE_<LANG>_HOST_COMPILER documents it should not be set without also setting CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER to a NVCC compiler.

CMAKE_<LANG>_PLATFORM
    This variable is set to the detected GPU platform when <lang> is HIP.

    If the variable is already set its value is always preserved. Only compatible values will be considered for CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER.

    For example:

        check_language(Fortran)
        if(CMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER)
          enable_language(Fortran)
        else()
          message(STATUS "No Fortran support")
        endif()

  CheckLibraryExists

Check once if the function exists in system or specified library.

check_library_exists

        check_library_exists(<library> <function> <location> <variable>)

    Check that the library <library> exists in the given location <location> and has the specified <function>. The result is stored in an internal cache variable <variable>. If <location> is empty string, default directories are searched.

    Prefer using CheckSymbolExists or CheckSourceCompiles instead of this module for more robust detection if a function is available in a library.

    The following variables may be set before calling this macro to modify the way the check is run:

CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS
    String of additional flags to pass to the compiler. The string must be space-delimited--a ;-list will not work. The contents of CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS and its associated configuration-specific variable are automatically added to the compiler command before the contents of CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS.

CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS
    A ;-list of compiler definitions of the form -DFOO or -DFOO=bar. A definition for the name specified by <resultVar> will also be added automatically.

CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_OPTIONS
    Added in version 3.14.

    A ;-list of options to add to the link command (see try_compile() for further details).

CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES
    A ;-list of libraries to add to the link command. These can be the name of system libraries or they can be Imported Targets (see try_compile() for further details).

CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_DIRECTORIES
    Added in version 3.31.

    A ;-list of libraries search paths to pass to the linker (see try_compile() for further details).

CMAKE_REQUIRED_QUIET
    Added in version 3.1.

    If this variable evaluates to a boolean true value, all status messages associated with the check will be suppressed.

  Examples

This module can be useful for performing so-called sanity checks to verify that the specified library provides the expected functionality and is indeed the correct one being located.

For example, to check if the curl library exists in the default paths and has the curl_easy_perform function:

    include(CheckLibraryExists)
    check_library_exists(curl curl_easy_perform "" HAVE_LIBRARY_CURL)

To check if library exists in specific non-standard location and has a specified function:

    include(CheckLibraryExists)
    check_library_exists(curl curl_easy_perform "/opt/curl/lib" HAVE_LIBRARY_CURL)

Also IMPORTED library (for example, from the find_package() call) can be used:

    find_package(CURL)
    # ...
    if(TARGET CURL::libcurl)
      include(CheckLibraryExists)
      check_library_exists(CURL::libcurl curl_easy_perform "" HAVE_LIBRARY_CURL)
    endif()

  CheckLinkerFlag

Added in version 3.18.

Check whether the compiler supports a given link flag.

check_linker_flag

        check_linker_flag(<lang> <flag> <var>)

    Check that the link <flag> is accepted by the <lang> compiler without a diagnostic. Stores the result in an internal cache entry named <var>.

    This command temporarily sets the CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_OPTIONS variable and calls the check_source_compiles() command from the CheckSourceCompiles module. See that module's documentation for a listing of variables that can otherwise modify the build.

    The underlying implementation relies on the LINK_OPTIONS property to check the specified flag. The LINKER: prefix, as described in the target_link_options() command, can be used as well.

    A positive result from this check indicates only that the compiler did not issue a diagnostic message when given the link flag. Whether the flag has any effect or even a specific one is beyond the scope of this module.

    NOTE: Since the try_compile() command forwards flags from variables like CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS, unknown flags in such variables may cause a false negative for this check.

  CheckOBJCCompilerFlag

Added in version 3.16.

Check once whether the Objective-C compiler supports a given flag.

check_objc_compiler_flag

        check_objc_compiler_flag(<flag> <resultVar>)

    Check once that the <flag> is accepted by the compiler without a diagnostic. The result is stored in the internal cache variable specified by <resultVar>, with boolean true for success and boolean false for failure.

    true indicates only that the compiler did not issue a diagnostic message when given the flag. Whether the flag has any effect is beyond the scope of this module.

    Internally, try_compile() is used to perform the check. If CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_TARGET_TYPE is set to EXECUTABLE (default), the check compiles and links an executable program. If set to STATIC_LIBRARY, the check is compiled but not linked.

    See also check_compiler_flag() for a more general command syntax.

    The compile and link commands can be influenced by setting any of the following variables prior to calling check_objc_compiler_flag(). Unknown flags in these variables can case a false negative result.

CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS
    String of additional flags to pass to the compiler. The string must be space-delimited--a ;-list will not work. The contents of CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS and its associated configuration-specific variable are automatically added to the compiler command before the contents of CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS.

CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS
    A ;-list of compiler definitions of the form -DFOO or -DFOO=bar. A definition for the name specified by <resultVar> will also be added automatically.

CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES
    A ;-list of header search paths to pass to the compiler. These will be the only header search paths used--the contents of the INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES directory property will be ignored.

CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_OPTIONS
    Added in version 3.14.

    A ;-list of options to add to the link command (see try_compile() for further details).

CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES
    A ;-list of libraries to add to the link command. These can be the name of system libraries or they can be Imported Targets (see try_compile() for further details).

CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_DIRECTORIES
    Added in version 3.31.

    A ;-list of libraries search paths to pass to the linker (see try_compile() for further details).

CMAKE_REQUIRED_QUIET
    Added in version 3.1.

    If this variable evaluates to a boolean true value, all status messages associated with the check will be suppressed.

  CheckOBJCSourceCompiles

Added in version 3.16.

Check once if Objective-C source can be built.

check_objc_source_compiles

        check_objc_source_compiles(<code> <resultVar>
                                   [FAIL_REGEX <regex1> [<regex2>...]])

    Check once that the source supplied in <code> can be built. The result is stored in the internal cache variable specified by <resultVar>, with boolean true for success and boolean false for failure.

    If FAIL_REGEX is provided, then failure is determined by checking if anything in the compiler output matches any of the specified regular expressions.

    Internally, try_compile() is used to compile the source. If CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_TARGET_TYPE is set to EXECUTABLE (default), the source is compiled and linked as an executable program. If set to STATIC_LIBRARY, the source is compiled but not linked. In any case, all functions must be declared as usual.

    See also check_source_compiles() for a more general command syntax.

    See also check_source_runs() to run compiled source.

    The compile and link commands can be influenced by setting any of the following variables prior to calling check_objc_source_compiles()

CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS
    String of additional flags to pass to the compiler. The string must be space-delimited--a ;-list will not work. The contents of CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS and its associated configuration-specific variable are automatically added to the compiler command before the contents of CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS.

CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS
    A ;-list of compiler definitions of the form -DFOO or -DFOO=bar. A definition for the name specified by <resultVar> will also be added automatically.

CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES
    A ;-list of header search paths to pass to the compiler. These will be the only header search paths used--the contents of the INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES directory property will be ignored.

CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_OPTIONS
    Added in version 3.14.

    A ;-list of options to add to the link command (see try_compile() for further details).

    Added in version 3.1.

    If this variable evaluates to a boolean true value, all status messages associated with the check will be suppressed.

  CheckOBJCSourceRuns

Added in version 3.16.

Check once if given Objective-C source compiles and links into an executable and can subsequently be run.

check_objc_source_runs

        check_objc_source_runs(<code> <resultVar>)

    Check once that the source supplied in <code> can be built, linked as an executable, and then run. The <code> must contain at least a main() function.

    The result is stored in the internal cache variable specified by <resultVar>. If the code builds and runs with exit code 0, success is indicated by boolean true. Failure to build or run is indicated by boolean false, such as an empty string or an error message.

    See also check_source_runs() for a more general command syntax.

    The compile and link commands can be influenced by setting any of the following variables prior to calling check_objc_source_runs()

CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS
    String of additional flags to pass to the compiler. The string must be space-delimited--a ;-list will not work. The contents of CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS and its associated configuration-specific variable are automatically added to the compiler command before the contents of CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS.

CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS
    A ;-list of compiler definitions of the form -DFOO or -DFOO=bar. A definition for the name specified by <resultVar> will also be added automatically.

CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES
    A ;-list of header search paths to pass to the compiler. These will be the only header search paths used--the contents of the INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES directory property will be ignored.

CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_OPTIONS
    Added in version 3.14.

    A ;-list of options to add to the link command (see try_compile() for further details).

    Added in version 3.31.

    A ;-list of libraries search paths to pass to the linker (see try_compile() for further details).

CMAKE_REQUIRED_QUIET
    Added in version 3.1.

    If this variable evaluates to a boolean true value, all status messages associated with the check will be suppressed.

  CheckOBJCXXCompilerFlag

Added in version 3.16.

Check once whether the Objective-C++ compiler supports a given flag.

check_objcxx_compiler_flag

        check_objcxx_compiler_flag(<flag> <resultVar>)

    Check once that the <flag> is accepted by the compiler without a diagnostic. The result is stored in the internal cache variable specified by <resultVar>, with boolean true for success and boolean false for failure.

    true indicates only that the compiler did not issue a diagnostic message when given the flag. Whether the flag has any effect is beyond the scope of this module.

    Internally, try_compile() is used to perform the check. If CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_TARGET_TYPE is set to EXECUTABLE (default), the check compiles and links an executable program. If set to STATIC_LIBRARY, the check is compiled but not linked.

    See also check_compiler_flag() for a more general command syntax.

    The compile and link commands can be influenced by setting any of the following variables prior to calling check_objcxx_compiler_flag(). Unknown flags in these variables can case a false negative result.

CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS
    String of additional flags to pass to the compiler. The string must be space-delimited--a ;-list will not work. The contents of CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS and its associated configuration-specific variable are automatically added to the compiler command before the contents of CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS.

  CheckOBJCXXSourceCompiles

Added in version 3.16.

Check once if Objective-C++ source can be built.

check_objcxx_source_compiles

        check_objcxx_source_compiles(<code> <resultVar>
                                     [FAIL_REGEX <regex1> [<regex2>...]])

    Check once that the source supplied in <code> can be built. The result is stored in the internal cache variable specified by <resultVar>, with boolean true for success and boolean false for failure.

    If FAIL_REGEX is provided, then failure is determined by checking if anything in the compiler output matches any of the specified regular expressions.

    Internally, try_compile() is used to compile the source. If CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_TARGET_TYPE is set to EXECUTABLE (default), the source is compiled and linked as an executable program. If set to STATIC_LIBRARY, the source is compiled but not linked. In any case, all functions must be declared as usual.

    See also check_source_compiles() for a more general command syntax.

    See also check_source_runs() to run compiled source.

    The compile and link commands can be influenced by setting any of the following variables prior to calling check_objcxx_source_compiles()

CMAKE_REQUIRED_QUIET
    Added in version 3.1.

    If this variable evaluates to a boolean true value, all status messages associated with the check will be suppressed.

  CheckPIESupported

Added in version 3.14.

Check whether the linker supports Position Independent Code (PIE) or No Position Independent Code (NO_PIE) for executables. Use this to ensure that the POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE target property for executables will be honored at link time.

check_pie_supported

        check_pie_supported([OUTPUT_VARIABLE <output>]
                            [LANGUAGES <lang>...])

    Options are:

OUTPUT_VARIABLE <output>
    Set <output> variable with details about any error. If the check is bypassed because it uses cached results from a previous call, the output will be empty even if errors were present in the previous call.

LANGUAGES <lang>...
    Check the linkers used for each of the specified languages. If this option is not provided, the command checks all enabled languages.

    C, CXX, Fortran are supported.

    Added in version 3.23: OBJC, OBJCXX, CUDA, and HIP are supported.

    It makes no sense to use this module when CMP0083 is set to OLD, so the command will return an error in this case. See policy CMP0083 for details.

  Variables

For each language checked, two boolean cache variables are defined.

CMAKE_<lang>_LINK_PIE_SUPPORTED
    Set to true if PIE is supported by the linker and false otherwise.

CMAKE_<lang>_LINK_NO_PIE_SUPPORTED
    Set to true if NO_PIE is supported by the linker and false otherwise.

  Examples

    check_pie_supported()
    set_property(TARGET foo PROPERTY POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE TRUE)

    # Retrieve any error message.
    check_pie_supported(OUTPUT_VARIABLE output LANGUAGES C)
    set_property(TARGET foo PROPERTY POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE TRUE)
    if(NOT CMAKE_C_LINK_PIE_SUPPORTED)
      message(WARNING "PIE is not supported at link time: ${output}.\n"
                      "PIE link options will not be passed to linker.")
    endif()

  CheckPrototypeDefinition

Check if a C function has the expected prototype.

check_prototype_definition

        check_prototype_definition(<function> <prototype> <return> <headers> <variable>)

<function>
    The name of the function whose prototype is being checked.

<prototype>
    The expected prototype of the function, provided as a string.

<return>
    The return value of the function. This will be used as a return value in the function definition body of the generated test program to verify that the function's return type matches the expected type.

<headers>
    A semicolon-separated list of header file names required for checking the function prototype.

<variable>
    The name of the variable to store the check result. This variable will be created as an internal cache variable.

    This command generates a test program and verifies that it builds without errors. The generated test program includes specified <headers>, defines a function with given literal <prototype> and <return> value and then uses the specified <function>. The simplified test program can be illustrated as:

        #include <headers>
        // ...
        <prototype> { return <return>; }
        int main(...) { ...<function>()... }

    The following variables may be set before calling this function to modify the way the check is run:

CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS
    String of additional flags to pass to the compiler. The string must be space-delimited--a ;-list will not work. The contents of CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS and its associated configuration-specific variable are automatically added to the compiler command before the contents of CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS.

CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS
    A ;-list of compiler definitions of the form -DFOO or -DFOO=bar. A definition for the name specified by <resultVar> will also be added automatically.

CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES
    A ;-list of header search paths to pass to the compiler. These will be the only header search paths used--the contents of the INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES directory property will be ignored.

CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_OPTIONS
    Added in version 3.14.

    A ;-list of options to add to the link command (see try_compile() for further details).

CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES
    A ;-list of libraries to add to the link command. These can be the name of system libraries or they can be Imported Targets (see try_compile() for further details).

CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_DIRECTORIES
    Added in version 3.31.

    A ;-list of libraries search paths to pass to the linker (see try_compile() for further details).

CMAKE_REQUIRED_QUIET
    Added in version 3.1.

    If this variable evaluates to a boolean true value, all status messages associated with the check will be suppressed.

  Examples

Checking if the getpwent_r() function on Solaris/illumos systems has the expected prototype:

    include(CheckPrototypeDefinition)
    check_prototype_definition(
      getpwent_r
      "struct passwd *getpwent_r(struct passwd *src, char *buf, int buflen)"
      "NULL"
      "unistd.h;pwd.h"
      HAVE_SOLARIS_GETPWENT_R
    )

  CheckSourceCompiles

Added in version 3.19.

Check once if source code can be built for a given language.

check_source_compiles

        check_source_compiles(<lang> <code> <resultVar>
                              [FAIL_REGEX <regex1> [<regex2>...]]
                              [SRC_EXT <extension>])

    Check once that the source supplied in <code> can be built for code language <lang>. The result is stored in the internal cache variable specified by <resultVar>, with boolean true for success and boolean false for failure.

    If FAIL_REGEX is provided, then failure is determined by checking if anything in the compiler output matches any of the specified regular expressions.

    By default, the test source file will be given a file extension that matches the requested language. The SRC_EXT option can be used to override this with .<extension> instead.

    The C example checks if the compiler supports the noreturn attribute:

        set(CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_TARGET_TYPE "STATIC_LIBRARY")
        check_source_compiles(C
        "#if !__has_c_attribute(noreturn)
        #error \"No noreturn attribute\"
        #endif"
        HAVE_NORETURN)

    The Fortran example checks if the compiler supports the pure procedure attribute:

        set(CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_TARGET_TYPE "STATIC_LIBRARY")
        check_source_compiles(Fortran
        "pure subroutine foo()
        end subroutine"
        HAVE_PURE)

    Internally, try_compile() is used to compile the source. If CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_TARGET_TYPE is set to EXECUTABLE (default), the source is compiled and linked as an executable program. If set to STATIC_LIBRARY, the source is compiled but not linked. In any case, all functions must be declared as usual.

    See also check_source_runs() to run compiled source.

    The compile and link commands can be influenced by setting any of the following variables prior to calling check_source_compiles():

CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS
    String of additional flags to pass to the compiler. The string must be space-delimited--a ;-list will not work. The contents of CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS and its associated configuration-specific variable are automatically added to the compiler command before the contents of CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS.

CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS
    A ;-list of compiler definitions of the form -DFOO or -DFOO=bar. A definition for the name specified by <resultVar> will also be added automatically.

CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES
    A ;-list of header search paths to pass to the compiler. These will be the only header search paths used--the contents of the INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES directory property will be ignored.

CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_OPTIONS
    Added in version 3.14.

    A ;-list of options to add to the link command (see try_compile() for further details).

CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES
    A ;-list of libraries to add to the link command. These can be the name of system libraries or they can be Imported Targets (see try_compile() for further details).

CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_DIRECTORIES
    Added in version 3.31.

    A ;-list of libraries search paths to pass to the linker (see try_compile() for further details).

CMAKE_REQUIRED_QUIET
    Added in version 3.1.

    If this variable evaluates to a boolean true value, all status messages associated with the check will be suppressed.

  CheckSourceRuns

Added in version 3.19.

Check if given source compiles and links into an executable and can subsequently be run.

check_source_runs

        check_source_runs(<lang> <code> <resultVar>
                          [SRC_EXT <extension>])

    Check once that the <lang> source supplied in <code> can be built, linked as an executable, and then run. The <code> must contain at least a main() function, or in Fortran a program.

    The result is stored in the internal cache variable specified by <resultVar>. If the code builds and runs with exit code 0, success is indicated by boolean true. Failure to build or run is indicated by boolean false, such as an empty string or an error message.

    By default, the test source file will be given a file extension that matches the requested language. The SRC_EXT option can be used to override this with .<extension> instead.

    The <code> must contain a valid main program. For example:

        check_source_runs(C
        "#include <stdlib.h>
        #include <stdnoreturn.h>
        noreturn void f(){ exit(0); }
        int main(void) { f(); return 1; }"
        HAVE_NORETURN)
        check_source_runs(Fortran
        "program test
        real :: x[*]
        call co_sum(x)
        end program"
        HAVE_COARRAY)

    The compile and link commands can be influenced by setting any of the following variables prior to calling check_source_runs()

CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS
    String of additional flags to pass to the compiler. The string must be space-delimited--a ;-list will not work. The contents of CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS and its associated configuration-specific variable are automatically added to the compiler command before the contents of CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS.

CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS
    A ;-list of compiler definitions of the form -DFOO or -DFOO=bar. A definition for the name specified by <resultVar> will also be added automatically.

CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES
    A ;-list of header search paths to pass to the compiler. These will be the only header search paths used--the contents of the INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES directory property will be ignored.

CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_OPTIONS
    Added in version 3.14.

    A ;-list of options to add to the link command (see try_compile() for further details).

CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES
    A ;-list of libraries to add to the link command. These can be the name of system libraries or they can be Imported Targets (see try_compile() for further details).

CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_DIRECTORIES
    Added in version 3.31.

    A ;-list of libraries search paths to pass to the linker (see try_compile() for further details).

CMAKE_REQUIRED_QUIET
    Added in version 3.1.

    If this variable evaluates to a boolean true value, all status messages associated with the check will be suppressed.

  CheckStructHasMember

Check if the given struct or class has the specified member variable

check_struct_has_member

        check_struct_has_member(<struct> <member> <headers> <variable>
                                [LANGUAGE <language>])

    Check that the struct or class <struct> has the specified <member> after including the given header(s) <headers> where the prototype should be declared. Specify the list of header files in one argument as a semicolon-separated list. The result is stored in an internal cache variable <variable>.

    The options are:

LANGUAGE <language>
    Use the <language> compiler to perform the check. Acceptable values are C and CXX. If not specified, it defaults to C.

    The following variables may be set before calling this macro to modify the way the check is run:

CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS
    String of additional flags to pass to the compiler. The string must be space-delimited--a ;-list will not work. The contents of CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS and its associated configuration-specific variable are automatically added to the compiler command before the contents of CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS.

CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS
    A ;-list of compiler definitions of the form -DFOO or -DFOO=bar. A definition for the name specified by <resultVar> will also be added automatically.

  Example

    include(CheckStructHasMember)
    check_struct_has_member("struct timeval" tv_sec sys/select.h
                            HAVE_TIMEVAL_TV_SEC LANGUAGE C)

  CheckSymbolExists

Provides a macro to check if a symbol exists as a function, variable, or macro in C.

check_symbol_exists

        check_symbol_exists(<symbol> <files> <variable>)

    Check that the <symbol> is available after including given header <files> and store the result in a <variable>. Specify the list of files in one argument as a semicolon-separated list. <variable> will be created as an internal cache variable.

    If the header files define the symbol as a macro it is considered available and assumed to work. If the header files declare the symbol as a function or variable then the symbol must also be available for linking (so intrinsics may not be detected). If the symbol is a type, enum value, or intrinsic it will not be recognized (consider using CheckTypeSize or CheckSourceCompiles). If the check needs to be done in C++, consider using CheckCXXSymbolExists instead.

    The following variables may be set before calling this macro to modify the way the check is run:

CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS
    String of additional flags to pass to the compiler. The string must be space-delimited--a ;-list will not work. The contents of CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS and its associated configuration-specific variable are automatically added to the compiler command before the contents of CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS.

CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS
    A ;-list of compiler definitions of the form -DFOO or -DFOO=bar. A definition for the name specified by <resultVar> will also be added automatically.

CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES
    A ;-list of header search paths to pass to the compiler. These will be the only header search paths used--the contents of the INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES directory property will be ignored.

CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_OPTIONS
    Added in version 3.14.

    A ;-list of options to add to the link command (see try_compile() for further details).

CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES
    A ;-list of libraries to add to the link command. These can be the name of system libraries or they can be Imported Targets (see try_compile() for further details).

CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_DIRECTORIES
    Added in version 3.31.

    A ;-list of libraries search paths to pass to the linker (see try_compile() for further details).

CMAKE_REQUIRED_QUIET
    Added in version 3.1.

    If this variable evaluates to a boolean true value, all status messages associated with the check will be suppressed.

    For example:

        include(CheckSymbolExists)
        # Check for macro SEEK_SET
        check_symbol_exists(SEEK_SET "stdio.h" HAVE_SEEK_SET)
        # Check for function fopen
        check_symbol_exists(fopen "stdio.h" HAVE_FOPEN)

  CheckTypeSize

Check sizeof a type

check_type_size

        check_type_size(<type> <variable> [BUILTIN_TYPES_ONLY]
                                          [LANGUAGE <language>])

    Check if the type exists and determine its size. Results are reported in the following variables:

HAVE_<variable>
    Holds a true or false value indicating whether the type exists.

<variable>
    Holds one of the following values:

<size>
    Type has non-zero size <size>.

0   Type has architecture-dependent size. This may occur when CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES has multiple architectures. In this case <variable>_CODE contains C preprocessor tests mapping from each architecture macro to the corresponding type size. The list of architecture macros is stored in <variable>_KEYS, and the value for each key is stored in <variable>-<key>.

"" (empty string)
    Type does not exist.

<variable>_CODE
    Holds C preprocessor code to define the macro <variable> to the size of the type, or to leave the macro undefined if the type does not exist.

    The options are:

    BUILTIN_TYPES_ONLY Support only compiler-builtin types. If not given, the macro checks for headers <sys/types.h>, <stdint.h>, and <stddef.h>, and saves results in HAVE_SYS_TYPES_H, HAVE_STDINT_H, and HAVE_STDDEF_H. The type size check automatically includes the available headers, thus supporting checks of types defined in the headers.

LANGUAGE <language>
    Use the <language> compiler to perform the check. Acceptable values are C and CXX. If not specified, it defaults to C.

    Despite the name of the macro you may use it to check the size of more complex expressions, too. To check e.g. for the size of a struct member you can do something like this:

        check_type_size("((struct something*)0)->member" SIZEOF_MEMBER)

    The following variables may be set before calling this macro to modify the way the check is run:

CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS
    String of additional flags to pass to the compiler. The string must be space-delimited--a ;-list will not work. The contents of CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS and its associated configuration-specific variable are automatically added to the compiler command before the contents of CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS.

CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS
    A ;-list of compiler definitions of the form -DFOO or -DFOO=bar. A definition for the name specified by <resultVar> will also be added automatically.

CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES
    A ;-list of header search paths to pass to the compiler. These will be the only header search paths used--the contents of the INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES directory property will be ignored.

CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_OPTIONS
    Added in version 3.14.

    A ;-list of options to add to the link command (see try_compile() for further details).

CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES
    A ;-list of libraries to add to the link command. These can be the name of system libraries or they can be Imported Targets (see try_compile() for further details).

CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_DIRECTORIES
    Added in version 3.31.

    A ;-list of libraries search paths to pass to the linker (see try_compile() for further details).

CMAKE_REQUIRED_QUIET
    Added in version 3.1.

    If this variable evaluates to a boolean true value, all status messages associated with the check will be suppressed.

CMAKE_EXTRA_INCLUDE_FILES
    list of extra headers to include.

  Examples

Consider the code:

    include(CheckTypeSize)
    # Check for size of long.
    check_type_size(long SIZEOF_LONG)
    message("HAVE_SIZEOF_LONG: ${HAVE_SIZEOF_LONG}")
    message("SIZEOF_LONG: ${SIZEOF_LONG}")
    message("SIZEOF_LONG_CODE: ${SIZEOF_LONG_CODE}")

On a 64-bit architecture, the output may look something like this:

    HAVE_SIZEOF_LONG: TRUE
    SIZEOF_LONG: 8
    SIZEOF_LONG_CODE: #define SIZEOF_LONG 8

On Apple platforms, when CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES has multiple architectures, types may have architecture-dependent sizes. For example, with the code

    include(CheckTypeSize)
    check_type_size(long SIZEOF_LONG)
    message("HAVE_SIZEOF_LONG: ${HAVE_SIZEOF_LONG}")
    message("SIZEOF_LONG: ${SIZEOF_LONG}")
    foreach(key IN LISTS SIZE_OF_LONG_KEYS)
      message("key: ${key}")
      message("value: ${SIZE_OF_LONG-${key}}")
    endforeach()
    message("SIZEOF_LONG_CODE:
    ${SIZEOF_LONG_CODE}")

the result may be:

    HAVE_SIZEOF_LONG: TRUE
    SIZEOF_LONG: 0
    key: __i386
    value: 4
    key: __x86_64
    value: 8
    SIZEOF_LONG_CODE:
    #if defined(__i386)
    # define SIZE_OF_LONG 4
    #elif defined(__x86_64)
    # define SIZE_OF_LONG 8
    #else
    # error SIZE_OF_LONG unknown
    #endif

  CheckVariableExists

Check if the variable exists.

check_variable_exists

        check_variable_exists(<var> <variable>)

    Check if the variable <var> exists and store the result in an internal cache variable <variable>.

    This macro is only for C variables.

    The following variables may be set before calling this macro to modify the way the check is run:

CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS
    String of additional flags to pass to the compiler. The string must be space-delimited--a ;-list will not work. The contents of CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS and its associated configuration-specific variable are automatically added to the compiler command before the contents of CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS.

CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS
    A ;-list of compiler definitions of the form -DFOO or -DFOO=bar. A definition for the name specified by <resultVar> will also be added automatically.

CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_OPTIONS
    Added in version 3.14.

    A ;-list of options to add to the link command (see try_compile() for further details).

CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES
    A ;-list of libraries to add to the link command. These can be the name of system libraries or they can be Imported Targets (see try_compile() for further details).

CMAKE_REQUIRED_QUIET
    Added in version 3.1.

    If this variable evaluates to a boolean true value, all status messages associated with the check will be suppressed.

  CMakeAddFortranSubdirectory

Add a fortran-only subdirectory, find a fortran compiler, and build.

The cmake_add_fortran_subdirectory function adds a subdirectory to a project that contains a fortran-only subproject. The module will check the current compiler and see if it can support fortran. If no fortran compiler is found and the compiler is MSVC, then this module will find the MinGW gfortran. It will then use an external project to build with the MinGW tools. It will also create imported targets for the libraries created. This will only work if the fortran code is built into a dll, so BUILD_SHARED_LIBS is turned on in the project. In addition the CMAKE_GNUtoMS option is set to on, so that Microsoft .lib files are created. Usage is as follows:

    cmake_add_fortran_subdirectory(
     <subdir>                # name of subdirectory
     PROJECT <project_name>  # project name in subdir top CMakeLists.txt
     ARCHIVE_DIR <dir>       # dir where project places .lib files
     RUNTIME_DIR <dir>       # dir where project places .dll files
     LIBRARIES <lib>...      # names of library targets to import
     LINK_LIBRARIES          # link interface libraries for LIBRARIES
      [LINK_LIBS <lib> <dep>...]...
     CMAKE_COMMAND_LINE ...  # extra command line flags to pass to cmake
     NO_EXTERNAL_INSTALL     # skip installation of external project
     )

Relative paths in ARCHIVE_DIR and RUNTIME_DIR are interpreted with respect to the build directory corresponding to the source directory in which the function is invoked.

Limitations:

NO_EXTERNAL_INSTALL is required for forward compatibility with a future version that supports installation of the external project binaries during make install.

  CMakeBackwardCompatibilityCXX

define a bunch of backwards compatibility variables

    CMAKE_ANSI_CXXFLAGS - flag for ansi c++
    CMAKE_HAS_ANSI_STRING_STREAM - has <strstream>
    include(TestForANSIStreamHeaders)
    include(CheckIncludeFileCXX)
    include(TestForSTDNamespace)
    include(TestForANSIForScope)

  CMakeDependentOption

Macro to provide an option dependent on other options.

This macro presents an option to the user only if a set of other conditions are true.

cmake_dependent_option

        cmake_dependent_option(<option> "<help_text>" <value> <depends> <force>)

    Makes <option> available to the user if the semicolon-separated list of conditions in <depends> are all true. Otherwise, a local variable named <option> is set to <force>.

    When <option> is available, the given <help_text> and initial <value> are used. Otherwise, any value set by the user is preserved for when <depends> is satisfied in the future.

    Note that the <option> variable only has a value which satisfies the <depends> condition within the scope of the caller because it is a local variable.

    Added in version 3.22: Full Condition Syntax is now supported. See policy CMP0127.

  Examples

Semicolon-separated list of conditions:

    cmake_dependent_option(USE_FOO "Use Foo" ON "USE_BAR;NOT USE_ZOT" OFF)

If USE_BAR is true and USE_ZOT is false, this provides an option called USE_FOO that defaults to ON. Otherwise, it sets USE_FOO to OFF and hides the option from the user. If the status of USE_BAR or USE_ZOT ever changes, any value for the USE_FOO option is saved so that when the option is re-enabled it retains its old value.

Full condition syntax:

    cmake_dependent_option(USE_FOO "Use Foo" ON "USE_A AND (USE_B OR USE_C)" OFF)

Similar to the previous example, if the argument with full condition syntax evaluates to true, this provides an option called USE_FOO that defaults to ON. Otherwise, it sets USE_FOO to OFF and hides the option from the user in the GUI. When condition changes, option is saved in similar way as described above. This enables using entire condition syntax as being the if clause argument, such as grouping conditions with parens and similar.

  CMakeFindDependencyMacro

find_dependency
    The find_dependency() macro wraps a find_package() call for a package dependency:

        find_dependency(<dep> [...])

    It is designed to be used in a Package Configuration File (<PackageName>Config.cmake). find_dependency forwards the correct parameters for QUIET and REQUIRED which were passed to the original find_package() call. Any additional arguments specified are forwarded to find_package().

    If the dependency could not be found it sets an informative diagnostic message and calls return() to end processing of the calling package configuration file and return to the find_package() command that loaded it.

    NOTE: The call to return() makes this macro unsuitable to call from Find Modules.

  Package Dependency Search Optimizations

If find_dependency is called with arguments identical to a previous call in the same directory, perhaps due to diamond-shaped package dependencies, the underlying call to find_package() is optimized out. This optimization is important to support large package dependency graphs while avoiding a combinatorial explosion of repeated searches. However, the heuristic cannot account for ambient variables that affect package behavior, such as <PackageName>_USE_STATIC_LIBS, offered by some packages. Therefore package configuration files should avoid setting such variables before their calls to find_dependency.

Changed in version 3.15: Previously, the underlying call to find_package() was always optimized out if the package had already been found. CMake 3.15 removed the optimization to support cases in which find_dependency call arguments request different components.

Changed in version 3.26: The pre-3.15 optimization was restored, but with the above-described heuristic to account for varying find_dependency call arguments.

  CMakeFindPackageMode

This file is executed by cmake when invoked with --find-package. It expects that the following variables are set using -D:

NAME
    name of the package

COMPILER_ID
    the CMake compiler ID for which the result is, i.e. GNU/Intel/Clang/MSVC, etc.

LANGUAGE
    language for which the result will be used, i.e. C/CXX/Fortran/ASM

MODE

EXIST
    only check for existence of the given package

COMPILE
    print the flags needed for compiling an object file which uses the given package

LINK
    print the flags needed for linking when using the given package

QUIET
    if TRUE, don't print anything

  CMakeGraphVizOptions

The builtin Graphviz support of CMake.

  Generating Graphviz files

CMake can generate Graphviz files showing the dependencies between the targets in a project, as well as external libraries which are linked against.

When running CMake with the --graphviz=foo.dot option, it produces:

•   a foo.dot file, showing all dependencies in the project

•   a foo.dot.<target> file for each target, showing on which other targets it depends

•   a foo.dot.<target>.dependers file for each target, showing which other targets depend on it

    Those .dot files can be converted to images using the dot command from the Graphviz package:

        dot -Tpng -o foo.png foo.dot

    Added in version 3.10: The different dependency types PUBLIC, INTERFACE and PRIVATE are represented as solid, dashed and dotted edges.

  Variables specific to the Graphviz support

The resulting graphs can be huge. The look and content of the generated graphs can be controlled using the file CMakeGraphVizOptions.cmake. This file is first searched in CMAKE_BINARY_DIR, and then in CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR. If found, the variables set in it are used to adjust options for the generated Graphviz files.

GRAPHVIZ_GRAPH_NAME
    The graph name.

•   Mandatory: NO

•   Default: value of CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME

GRAPHVIZ_GRAPH_HEADER
    The header written at the top of the Graphviz files.

•   Mandatory: NO

•   Default: "node [ fontsize = "12" ];"

GRAPHVIZ_NODE_PREFIX
    The prefix for each node in the Graphviz files.

•   Mandatory: NO

•   Default: "node"

GRAPHVIZ_EXECUTABLES
    Set to FALSE to exclude executables from the generated graphs.

•   Mandatory: NO

•   Default: TRUE

GRAPHVIZ_STATIC_LIBS
    Set to FALSE to exclude static libraries from the generated graphs.

•   Mandatory: NO

•   Default: TRUE

GRAPHVIZ_SHARED_LIBS
    Set to FALSE to exclude shared libraries from the generated graphs.

•   Mandatory: NO

•   Default: TRUE

GRAPHVIZ_MODULE_LIBS
    Set to FALSE to exclude module libraries from the generated graphs.

•   Mandatory: NO

•   Default: TRUE

GRAPHVIZ_INTERFACE_LIBS
    Set to FALSE to exclude interface libraries from the generated graphs.

•   Mandatory: NO

•   Default: TRUE

GRAPHVIZ_OBJECT_LIBS
    Set to FALSE to exclude object libraries from the generated graphs.

•   Mandatory: NO

•   Default: TRUE

GRAPHVIZ_UNKNOWN_LIBS
    Set to FALSE to exclude unknown libraries from the generated graphs.

•   Mandatory: NO

•   Default: TRUE

GRAPHVIZ_EXTERNAL_LIBS
    Set to FALSE to exclude external libraries from the generated graphs.

•   Mandatory: NO

•   Default: TRUE

GRAPHVIZ_CUSTOM_TARGETS
    Set to TRUE to include custom targets in the generated graphs.

•   Mandatory: NO

•   Default: FALSE

GRAPHVIZ_IGNORE_TARGETS
    A list of regular expressions for names of targets to exclude from the generated graphs.

•   Mandatory: NO

•   Default: empty

GRAPHVIZ_GENERATE_PER_TARGET
    Set to FALSE to not generate per-target graphs foo.dot.<target>.

•   Mandatory: NO

•   Default: TRUE

GRAPHVIZ_GENERATE_DEPENDERS
    Set to FALSE to not generate depender graphs foo.dot.<target>.dependers.

•   Mandatory: NO

•   Default: TRUE

  CMakePackageConfigHelpers

Helper functions for creating config files that can be included by other projects to find and use a package.

  Generating a Package Configuration File

configure_package_config_file
    Create a config file for a project:

        configure_package_config_file(<input> <output>
          INSTALL_DESTINATION <path>
          [PATH_VARS <var1> <var2> ... <varN>]
          [NO_SET_AND_CHECK_MACRO]
          [NO_CHECK_REQUIRED_COMPONENTS_MACRO]
          [INSTALL_PREFIX <path>]
          )

    configure_package_config_file() should be used instead of the plain configure_file() command when creating the <PackageName>Config.cmake or <PackageName>-config.cmake file for installing a project or library. It helps make the resulting package relocatable by avoiding hardcoded paths in the installed <PackageName>Config.cmake file.

    In a FooConfig.cmake file there may be code like this to make the install destinations known to the using project:

        set(FOO_INCLUDE_DIR   "@CMAKE_INSTALL_FULL_INCLUDEDIR@" )
        set(FOO_DATA_DIR   "@CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX@/@RELATIVE_DATA_INSTALL_DIR@" )
        set(FOO_ICONS_DIR   "@CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX@/share/icons" )
        #...logic to determine installedPrefix from the own location...
        set(FOO_CONFIG_DIR  "${installedPrefix}/@CONFIG_INSTALL_DIR@" )

    All four options shown above are not sufficient The first three hardcode the absolute directory locations. The fourth case works only if the logic to determine the installedPrefix is correct, and if CONFIG_INSTALL_DIR contains a relative path, which in general cannot be guaranteed. This has the effect that the resulting FooConfig.cmake file would work poorly under Windows and macOS, where users are used to choosing the install location of a binary package at install time, independent from how CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX was set at build/cmake time.

    Using configure_package_config_file() helps. If used correctly, it makes the resulting FooConfig.cmake file relocatable. Usage:

1.  Write a FooConfig.cmake.in file as you are used to.

2.  Insert a line at the top containing only the string @PACKAGE_INIT@.

3.  Instead of set(FOO_DIR "@SOME_INSTALL_DIR@"), use set(FOO_DIR "@PACKAGE_SOME_INSTALL_DIR@") (this must be after the @PACKAGE_INIT@ line).

4.  Instead of using the normal configure_file() command, use configure_package_config_file().

    The <input> and <output> arguments are the input and output file, the same way as in configure_file().

    The <path> given to INSTALL_DESTINATION must be the destination where the FooConfig.cmake file will be installed to. This path can either be absolute, or relative to the INSTALL_PREFIX path.

    The variables <var1> to <varN> given as PATH_VARS are the variables which contain install destinations. For each of them, the macro will create a helper variable PACKAGE_<var...>. These helper variables must be used in the FooConfig.cmake.in file for setting the installed location. They are calculated by configure_package_config_file() so that they are always relative to the installed location of the package. This works both for relative and also for absolute locations. For absolute locations, it works only if the absolute location is a subdirectory of INSTALL_PREFIX.

    Added in version 3.30: The variable PACKAGE_PREFIX_DIR will always be defined after the @PACKAGE_INIT@ line. It will hold the value of the base install location. In general, variables defined via the PATH_VARS mechanism should be used instead, but PACKAGE_PREFIX_DIR can be used for those cases not easily handled by PATH_VARS, such as for files installed directly to the base install location rather than a subdirectory of it.

    NOTE: When consumers of the generated file use CMake 3.29 or older, the value of PACKAGE_PREFIX_DIR can be changed by a call to find_dependency() or find_package(). If a project relies on PACKAGE_PREFIX_DIR, it is the project's responsibility to ensure that the value of PACKAGE_PREFIX_DIR is preserved across any such calls, or any other calls which might include another file generated by configure_package_config_file().

    Added in version 3.1: If the INSTALL_PREFIX argument is passed, this is used as the base path to calculate all the relative paths. The <path> argument must be an absolute path. If this argument is not passed, the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX variable will be used instead. The default value is good when generating a FooConfig.cmake file to use your package from the install tree. When generating a FooConfig.cmake file to use your package from the build tree, this option should be used.

    By default, configure_package_config_file() also generates two helper macros, set_and_check() and check_required_components(), into the FooConfig.cmake file.

    set_and_check() should be used instead of the normal set() command for setting directories and file locations. In addition to setting the variable, it also checks that the referenced file or directory actually exists and fails with a fatal error if it doesn't. This ensures that the generated FooConfig.cmake file does not contain wrong references. Add the NO_SET_AND_CHECK_MACRO option to prevent the generation of the set_and_check() macro in the FooConfig.cmake file.

    check_required_components(<PackageName>) should be called at the end of the FooConfig.cmake file. This macro checks whether all requested, non-optional components have been found, and if this is not the case, it sets the Foo_FOUND variable to FALSE so that the package is considered to be not found. It does that by testing the Foo_<Component>_FOUND variables for all requested required components. This macro should be called even if the package doesn't provide any components to make sure users are not specifying components erroneously. Add the NO_CHECK_REQUIRED_COMPONENTS_MACRO option to prevent the generation of the check_required_components() macro in the FooConfig.cmake file.

    See also Example Generating Package Files.

  Generating a Package Version File

write_basic_package_version_file
    Create a version file for a project:

        write_basic_package_version_file(<filename>
          [VERSION <major.minor.patch>]
          COMPATIBILITY <AnyNewerVersion|SameMajorVersion|SameMinorVersion|ExactVersion>
          [ARCH_INDEPENDENT] )

    Writes a file for use as a <PackageName>ConfigVersion.cmake file to <filename>. See the documentation of find_package() for details on such files.

    <filename> is the output filename, which should be in the build tree. <major.minor.patch> is the version number of the project to be installed.

    If no VERSION is given, the PROJECT_VERSION variable is used. If this hasn't been set, it errors out.

    The COMPATIBILITY mode AnyNewerVersion means that the installed package version will be considered compatible if it is newer or exactly the same as the requested version. This mode should be used for packages which are fully backward compatible, also across major versions. If SameMajorVersion is used instead, then the behavior differs from AnyNewerVersion in that the major version number must be the same as requested, e.g. version 2.0 will not be considered compatible if 1.0 is requested. This mode should be used for packages which guarantee backward compatibility within the same major version. If SameMinorVersion is used, the behavior is the same as SameMajorVersion, but both major and minor version must be the same as requested, e.g version 0.2 will not be compatible if 0.1 is requested. If ExactVersion is used, then the package is only considered compatible if the requested version matches exactly its own version number (not considering the tweak version). For example, version 1.2.3 of a package is only considered compatible to requested version 1.2.3. This mode is for packages without compatibility guarantees. If your project has more elaborate version matching rules, you will need to write your own custom <PackageName>ConfigVersion.cmake file instead of using this macro.

    Added in version 3.11: The SameMinorVersion compatibility mode.

    Added in version 3.14: If ARCH_INDEPENDENT is given, the installed package version will be considered compatible even if it was built for a different architecture than the requested architecture. Otherwise, an architecture check will be performed, and the package will be considered compatible only if the architecture matches exactly. For example, if the package is built for a 32-bit architecture, the package is only considered compatible if it is used on a 32-bit architecture, unless ARCH_INDEPENDENT is given, in which case the package is considered compatible on any architecture.

    NOTE: ARCH_INDEPENDENT is intended for header-only libraries or similar packages with no binaries.

    Added in version 3.19: The version file generated by AnyNewerVersion, SameMajorVersion and SameMinorVersion arguments of COMPATIBILITY handle the version range, if one is specified (see find_package() command for the details). ExactVersion mode is incompatible with version ranges and will display an author warning if one is specified.

    Internally, this macro executes configure_file() to create the resulting version file. Depending on the COMPATIBILITY, the corresponding BasicConfigVersion-<COMPATIBILITY>.cmake.in file is used. Please note that these files are internal to CMake and you should not call configure_file() on them yourself, but they can be used as a starting point to create more sophisticated custom <PackageName>ConfigVersion.cmake files.

  Generating an Apple Platform Selection File

generate_apple_platform_selection_file
    Added in version 3.29.

    Create an Apple platform selection file:

        generate_apple_platform_selection_file(<filename>
          INSTALL_DESTINATION <path>
          [INSTALL_PREFIX <path>]
          [MACOS_INCLUDE_FILE <file>]
          [IOS_INCLUDE_FILE <file>]
          [IOS_SIMULATOR_INCLUDE_FILE <file>]
          [IOS_CATALYST_INCLUDE_FILE <file>]
          [TVOS_INCLUDE_FILE <file>]
          [TVOS_SIMULATOR_INCLUDE_FILE <file>]
          [WATCHOS_INCLUDE_FILE <file>]
          [WATCHOS_SIMULATOR_INCLUDE_FILE <file>]
          [VISIONOS_INCLUDE_FILE <file>]
          [VISIONOS_SIMULATOR_INCLUDE_FILE <file>]
          [ERROR_VARIABLE <variable>]
          )

    Write a file that includes an Apple-platform-specific .cmake file, e.g., for use as <PackageName>Config.cmake. This can be used in conjunction with the XCFRAMEWORK_LOCATION argument of export(SETUP) to export packages in a way that a project built for any Apple platform can use them.

INSTALL_DESTINATION <path>
    Path to which the generated file will be installed by the caller, e.g., via install(FILES). The path may be either relative to the INSTALL_PREFIX or absolute.

INSTALL_PREFIX <path>
    Path prefix to which the package will be installed by the caller. The <path> argument must be an absolute path. If this argument is not passed, the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX variable will be used instead.

MACOS_INCLUDE_FILE <file>
    File to include if the platform is macOS.

IOS_INCLUDE_FILE <file>
    File to include if the platform is iOS.

IOS_SIMULATOR_INCLUDE_FILE <file>
    File to include if the platform is iOS Simulator.

IOS_CATALYST_INCLUDE_FILE <file>
    Added in version 3.31.

    File to include if the platform is iOS Catalyst.

TVOS_INCLUDE_FILE <file>
    File to include if the platform is tvOS.

TVOS_SIMULATOR_INCLUDE_FILE <file>
    File to include if the platform is tvOS Simulator.

WATCHOS_INCLUDE_FILE <file>
    File to include if the platform is watchOS.

WATCHOS_SIMULATOR_INCLUDE_FILE <file>
    File to include if the platform is watchOS Simulator.

VISIONOS_INCLUDE_FILE <file>
    File to include if the platform is visionOS.

VISIONOS_SIMULATOR_INCLUDE_FILE <file>
    File to include if the platform is visionOS Simulator.

ERROR_VARIABLE <variable>
    If the consuming project is built for an unsupported platform, set <variable> to an error message. The includer may use this information to pretend the package was not found. If this option is not given, the default behavior is to issue a fatal error.

    If any of the optional include files is not specified, and the consuming project is built for its corresponding platform, the generated file will consider the platform to be unsupported. The behavior is determined by the ERROR_VARIABLE option.

  Generating an Apple Architecture Selection File

generate_apple_architecture_selection_file
    Added in version 3.29.

    Create an Apple architecture selection file:

        generate_apple_architecture_selection_file(<filename>
          INSTALL_DESTINATION <path>
          [INSTALL_PREFIX <path>]
          [SINGLE_ARCHITECTURES <arch>...
           SINGLE_ARCHITECTURE_INCLUDE_FILES <file>...]
          [UNIVERSAL_ARCHITECTURES <arch>...
           UNIVERSAL_INCLUDE_FILE <file>]
          [ERROR_VARIABLE <variable>]
          )

    Write a file that includes an Apple-architecture-specific .cmake file based on CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES, e.g., for inclusion from an Apple-specific <PackageName>Config.cmake file.

INSTALL_DESTINATION <path>
    Path to which the generated file will be installed by the caller, e.g., via install(FILES). The path may be either relative to the INSTALL_PREFIX or absolute.

INSTALL_PREFIX <path>
    Path prefix to which the package will be installed by the caller. The <path> argument must be an absolute path. If this argument is not passed, the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX variable will be used instead.

SINGLE_ARCHITECTURES <arch>...
    Architectures provided by entries of SINGLE_ARCHITECTURE_INCLUDE_FILES.

SINGLE_ARCHITECTURE_INCLUDE_FILES <file>...
    Architecture-specific files. One of them will be loaded when CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES contains a single architecture matching the corresponding entry of SINGLE_ARCHITECTURES.

UNIVERSAL_ARCHITECTURES <arch>...
    Architectures provided by the UNIVERSAL_INCLUDE_FILE.

    The list may include $(ARCHS_STANDARD) to support consumption using the Xcode generator, but the architectures should always be listed individually too.

UNIVERSAL_INCLUDE_FILE <file>
    A file to load when CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES contains a (non-strict) subset of the UNIVERSAL_ARCHITECTURES and does not match any one of the SINGLE_ARCHITECTURES.

ERROR_VARIABLE <variable>
    If the consuming project is built for an unsupported architecture, set <variable> to an error message. The includer may use this information to pretend the package was not found. If this option is not given, the default behavior is to issue a fatal error.

  Example Generating Package Files

Example using both the configure_package_config_file() and write_basic_package_version_file() commands:

CMakeLists.txt

    include(GNUInstallDirs)
    set(INCLUDE_INSTALL_DIR ${CMAKE_INSTALL_INCLUDEDIR}/Foo
        CACHE PATH "Location of header files" )
    set(SYSCONFIG_INSTALL_DIR ${CMAKE_INSTALL_SYSCONFDIR}/foo
        CACHE PATH "Location of configuration files" )
    #...
    include(CMakePackageConfigHelpers)
    configure_package_config_file(FooConfig.cmake.in
      ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/FooConfig.cmake
      INSTALL_DESTINATION ${CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR}/cmake/Foo
      PATH_VARS INCLUDE_INSTALL_DIR SYSCONFIG_INSTALL_DIR)
    write_basic_package_version_file(
      ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/FooConfigVersion.cmake

  CMakePrintHelpers

Convenience functions for printing properties and variables, useful e.g. for debugging.

  Commands

cmake_print_properties

        cmake_print_properties(<TARGETS       [<target1> ...] |
                                SOURCES       [<source1> ...] |
                                DIRECTORIES   [<dir1> ...]    |
                                TESTS         [<test1> ...]   |
                                CACHE_ENTRIES [<entry1> ...]  >
                               PROPERTIES [<prop1> ...])

    This function prints the values of the properties of the given targets, source files, directories, tests or cache entries. Exactly one of the scope keywords must be used. The scope keyword and its arguments must come before the PROPERTIES keyword in the arguments list.

cmake_print_variables

        cmake_print_variables([var1 [var2 ... [varN]]])

    This function prints the name of each variable followed by its value.

  Examples

Printing the LOCATION and INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES properties for both targets foo and bar:

    include(CMakePrintHelpers)
    cmake_print_properties(
      TARGETS foo bar
      PROPERTIES LOCATION INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES
    )

Gives:

    --
     Properties for TARGET foo:
       foo.LOCATION = "/usr/lib/libfoo.so"
       foo.INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES = "/usr/include;/usr/include/foo"
     Properties for TARGET bar:
       bar.LOCATION = "/usr/lib/libbar.so"
       bar.INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES = "/usr/include;/usr/include/bar"

Printing given variables:

    include(CMakePrintHelpers)
    cmake_print_variables(CMAKE_C_COMPILER CMAKE_MAJOR_VERSION NOT_EXISTS)

Gives:

    -- CMAKE_C_COMPILER="/usr/bin/cc" ; CMAKE_MAJOR_VERSION="3" ; NOT_EXISTS=""

  CMakePrintSystemInformation

Print system information.

This module serves diagnostic purposes. Just include it in a project to see various internal CMake variables.

  CMakePushCheckState

This module provides macros for managing the state of variables that influence how various CMake check commands (e.g., check_symbol_exists(), etc.) are performed. These macros save, reset, and restore the following variables:

•   CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS

•   CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS

•   CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES

•   CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_OPTIONS

•   CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES

•   CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_DIRECTORIES

•   CMAKE_REQUIRED_QUIET

•   CMAKE_EXTRA_INCLUDE_FILES

  Macros

cmake_push_check_state
    Saves (pushes) the current states of the above variables onto a stack. This is typically used to preserve the current configuration before making temporary modifications for specific checks.

        cmake_push_check_state([RESET])

RESET
    When this option is specified, the macro not only saves the current states of the listed variables but also resets them to empty, allowing them to be reconfigured from a clean state.

cmake_reset_check_state
    Resets (clears) the contents of the variables listed above to empty states.

        cmake_reset_check_state()

    This macro can be used, for example, when performing multiple sequential checks that require entirely new configurations, ensuring no previous configuration unintentionally carries over.

cmake_pop_check_state
    Restores the states of the variables listed above to their values at the time of the most recent cmake_push_check_state() call.

        cmake_pop_check_state()

    This macro is used to revert temporary changes made during a check. To prevent unexpected behavior, pair each cmake_push_check_state() with a corresponding cmake_pop_check_state().

    These macros are useful for scoped configuration, for example, in Find modules or when performing checks in a controlled environment, ensuring that temporary modifications are isolated to the scope of the check and do not propagate into other parts of the build system.

    NOTE: Other CMake variables, such as CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS, propagate to all checks regardless of these macros, as those fundamental variables are designed to influence the global state of the build system.

  Examples

    include(CMakePushCheckState)
    # Save and reset the current state
    cmake_push_check_state(RESET)
    # Perform check with specific compile definitions
    set(CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS -D_GNU_SOURCE)
    include(CheckSymbolExists)
    check_symbol_exists(memfd_create "sys/mman.h" HAVE_MEMFD_CREATE)
    # Restore the original state
    cmake_pop_check_state()

Variable states can be pushed onto the stack multiple times, allowing for nested or sequential configurations. Each cmake_pop_check_state() restores the most recent pushed states.

    include(CMakePushCheckState)
    # Save and reset the current state
    cmake_push_check_state(RESET)
    # Perform the first check with additional libraries
    set(CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES ${CMAKE_DL_LIBS})
    include(CheckSymbolExists)
    check_symbol_exists(dlopen "dlfcn.h" HAVE_DLOPEN)
    # Save current state
    cmake_push_check_state()
    # Perform the second check with libraries and additional compile definitions
    set(CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS -D_GNU_SOURCE)
    check_symbol_exists(dladdr "dlfcn.h" HAVE_DLADDR)
    message(STATUS "${CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS}")
    # Output: -D_GNU_SOURCE
    # Restore the previous state
    cmake_pop_check_state()
    message(STATUS "${CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS}")
    # Output here is empty
    # Reset variables to prepare for the next check
    cmake_reset_check_state()
    # Perform the next check only with additional compile definitions
    set(CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS -D_GNU_SOURCE)
    check_symbol_exists(dl_iterate_phdr "link.h" HAVE_DL_ITERATE_PHDR)
    # Restore the original state
    cmake_pop_check_state()

  CMakeVerifyManifest

Use this script to verify that embedded manifests and side-by-side manifests for a project match.

This script first recursively globs *.manifest files from the current directory and creates a list of allowed version. Additional versions can be passed by setting allow_versions from the invocation command. Next, the script globs *.exe and *.dll files. Each .exe and .dll file is scanned for embedded manifests and the versions of CRT are checked to be in the list of allowed version.

  Example

To run this script, navigate to a directory and run the script with cmake -P.

    cmake -Dallow_versions=8.0.50608.0 -PCMakeVerifyManifest.cmake

This call allows an embedded manifest of 8.0.50608.0 to be used in a project, even if that version was not found in a .manifest file.

  CPack

Configure generators for binary installers and source packages.

  Introduction

The CPack module generates the configuration files CPackConfig.cmake and CPackSourceConfig.cmake. They are intended for use in a subsequent run of the cpack program where they steer the generation of installers or/and source packages.

Depending on the CMake generator, the CPack module may also add two new build targets, package and package_source. See the packaging targets section below for details.

The generated binary installers will contain all files that have been installed via CMake's install() command (and the deprecated commands install_files(), install_programs(), and install_targets()). Note that the DESTINATION option of the install() command must be a relative path; otherwise installed files are ignored by CPack.

Certain kinds of binary installers can be configured such that users can select individual application components to install. See the CPackComponent module for further details.

Source packages (configured through CPackSourceConfig.cmake and generated by the CPack Archive Generator) will contain all source files in the project directory except those specified in CPACK_SOURCE_IGNORE_FILES.

  CPack Generators

The CPACK_GENERATOR variable has different meanings in different contexts. In a CMakeLists.txt file, CPACK_GENERATOR is a list of generators: and when cpack is run with no other arguments, it will iterate over that list and produce one package for each generator. In a CPACK_PROJECT_CONFIG_FILE, CPACK_GENERATOR is a string naming a single generator. If you need per-cpack-generator logic to control other cpack settings, then you need a CPACK_PROJECT_CONFIG_FILE. If set, the CPACK_PROJECT_CONFIG_FILE is included automatically on a per-generator basis. It only need contain overrides.

Here's how it works:

•   cpack runs

•   it includes CPackConfig.cmake

•   it iterates over the generators given by the -G command line option, or if no such option was specified, over the list of generators given by the CPACK_GENERATOR variable set in the CPackConfig.cmake input file.

•   foreach generator, it then

•   sets CPACK_GENERATOR to the one currently being iterated

•   includes the CPACK_PROJECT_CONFIG_FILE

•   produces the package for that generator

    This is the key: For each generator listed in CPACK_GENERATOR in CPackConfig.cmake, cpack will reset CPACK_GENERATOR internally to the one currently being used and then include the CPACK_PROJECT_CONFIG_FILE.

    For a list of available generators, see cpack-generators(7).

  Targets package and package_source

If CMake is run with the Makefile, Ninja, or Xcode generator, then include(CPack) generates a target package. This makes it possible to build a binary installer from CMake, Make, or Ninja: Instead of cpack, one may call cmake --build . --target package or make package or ninja package. The VS generator creates an uppercase target PACKAGE.

If CMake is run with the Makefile or Ninja generator, then include(CPack) also generates a target package_source. To build a source package, instead of cpack -G TGZ --config CPackSourceConfig.cmake one may call cmake --build . --target package_source, make package_source, or ninja package_source.

  Variables common to all CPack Generators

Before including this CPack module in your CMakeLists.txt file, there are a variety of variables that can be set to customize the resulting installers. The most commonly-used variables are:

CPACK_PACKAGE_NAME
    The name of the package (or application). If not specified, it defaults to the project name.

CPACK_PACKAGE_VENDOR
    The name of the package vendor. (e.g., "Kitware"). The default is "Humanity".

CPACK_PACKAGE_DIRECTORY
    The directory in which CPack is doing its packaging. If it is not set then this will default (internally) to the build dir. This variable may be defined in a CPack config file or from the cpack command line option -B. If set, the command line option overrides the value found in the config file.

CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_MAJOR
    Package major version. This variable will always be set, but its default value depends on whether or not version details were given to the project() command in the top level CMakeLists.txt file. If version details were given, the default value will be CMAKE_PROJECT_VERSION_MAJOR. If no version details were given, a default version of 0.1.1 will be assumed, leading to CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_MAJOR having a default value of 0.

CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_MINOR
    Package minor version. The default value is determined based on whether or not version details were given to the project() command in the top level CMakeLists.txt file. If version details were given, the default value will be CMAKE_PROJECT_VERSION_MINOR, but if no minor version component was specified then CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_MINOR will be left unset. If no project version was given at all, a default version of 0.1.1 will be assumed, leading to CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_MINOR having a default value of 1.

CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_PATCH
    Package patch version. The default value is determined based on whether or not version details were given to the project() command in the top level CMakeLists.txt file. If version details were given, the default value will be CMAKE_PROJECT_VERSION_PATCH, but if no patch version component was specified then CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_PATCH will be left unset. If no project version was given at all, a default version of 0.1.1 will be assumed, leading to CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_PATCH having a default value of 1.

CPACK_PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION
    A description of the project, used in places such as the introduction screen of CPack-generated Windows installers. If not set, the value of this variable is populated from the file named by CPACK_PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION_FILE.

CPACK_PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION_FILE
    A text file used to describe the project when CPACK_PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION is not explicitly set. The default value for CPACK_PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION_FILE points to a built-in template file Templates/CPack.GenericDescription.txt.

CPACK_PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION_SUMMARY
    Short description of the project (only a few words). If the CMAKE_PROJECT_DESCRIPTION variable is set, it is used as the default value, otherwise the default will be a string generated by CMake based on CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME.

CPACK_PACKAGE_HOMEPAGE_URL
    Project homepage URL. The default value is taken from the CMAKE_PROJECT_HOMEPAGE_URL variable, which is set by the top level project() command, or else the default will be empty if no URL was provided to project().

CPACK_PACKAGE_FILE_NAME
    The name of the package file to generate, not including the extension. For example, cmake-2.6.1-Linux-i686. The default value is:

        ${CPACK_PACKAGE_NAME}-${CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION}-${CPACK_SYSTEM_NAME}

CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_DIRECTORY
    Installation directory on the target system. This may be used by some CPack generators like NSIS to create an installation directory e.g., "CMake 2.5" below the installation prefix. All installed elements will be put inside this directory.

CPACK_PACKAGE_ICON
    A branding image that will be displayed inside the installer (used by GUI installers).

CPACK_PACKAGE_CHECKSUM
    Added in version 3.7.

    An algorithm that will be used to generate an additional file with the checksum of the package. The output file name will be:

        ${CPACK_PACKAGE_FILE_NAME}.${CPACK_PACKAGE_CHECKSUM}

    Supported algorithms are those listed by the string(<HASH>) command.

CPACK_PROJECT_CONFIG_FILE
    CPack-time project CPack configuration file. This file is included at cpack time, once per generator after CPack has set CPACK_GENERATOR to the actual generator being used. It allows per-generator setting of CPACK_* variables at cpack time.

CPACK_RESOURCE_FILE_LICENSE
    License to be embedded in the installer. It will typically be displayed to the user by the produced installer (often with an explicit "Accept" button, for graphical installers) prior to installation. This license file is NOT added to the installed files but is used by some CPack generators like NSIS. If you want to use UTF-8 characters, the file needs to be encoded in UTF-8 BOM. If you want to install a license file (may be the same as this one) along with your project, you must add an appropriate CMake install() command in your CMakeLists.txt.

CPACK_RESOURCE_FILE_README
    ReadMe file to be embedded in the installer. It typically describes in some detail the purpose of the project during the installation. Not all CPack generators use this file.

CPACK_RESOURCE_FILE_WELCOME
    Welcome file to be embedded in the installer. It welcomes users to this installer. Typically used in the graphical installers on Windows and Mac OS X.

CPACK_MONOLITHIC_INSTALL
    Disables the component-based installation mechanism. When set, the component specification is ignored and all installed items are put in a single "MONOLITHIC" package. Some CPack generators do monolithic packaging by default and may be asked to do component packaging by setting CPACK_<GENNAME>_COMPONENT_INSTALL to TRUE.

CPACK_GENERATOR
    List of CPack generators to use. If not specified, CPack will create a set of options following the naming pattern CPACK_BINARY_<GENNAME> (e.g. CPACK_BINARY_NSIS) allowing the user to enable/disable individual generators. If the -G option is given on the cpack command line, it will override this variable and any CPACK_BINARY_<GENNAME> options.

CPACK_OUTPUT_CONFIG_FILE
    The name of the CPack binary configuration file. This file is the CPack configuration generated by the CPack module for binary installers. Defaults to CPackConfig.cmake.

CPACK_PACKAGE_EXECUTABLES
    Lists each of the executables and associated text label to be used to create Start Menu shortcuts. For example, setting this to the list ccmake;CMake will create a shortcut named "CMake" that will execute the installed executable ccmake. Not all CPack generators use it (at least NSIS, Inno Setup and WIX do).

CPACK_STRIP_FILES
    List of files to be stripped. Starting with CMake 2.6.0, CPACK_STRIP_FILES will be a boolean variable which enables stripping of all files (a list of files evaluates to TRUE in CMake, so this change is compatible).

CPACK_VERBATIM_VARIABLES
    Added in version 3.4.

    If set to TRUE, values of variables prefixed with CPACK_ will be escaped before being written to the configuration files, so that the cpack program receives them exactly as they were specified. If not, characters like quotes and backslashes can cause parsing errors or alter the value received by the cpack program. Defaults to FALSE for backwards compatibility.

CPACK_THREADS
    Added in version 3.20.

    Number of threads to use when performing parallelized operations, such as compressing the installer package.

    Some compression methods used by CPack generators such as Debian or Archive may take advantage of multiple CPU cores to speed up compression. CPACK_THREADS can be set to specify how many threads will be used for compression.

    A positive integer can be used to specify an exact desired thread count.

    When given a negative integer CPack will use the absolute value as the upper limit but may choose a lower value based on the available hardware concurrency.

    Given 0 CPack will try to use all available CPU cores.

    By default CPACK_THREADS is set to 1.

    The following compression methods may take advantage of multiple cores:

xz  Supported if CMake is built with a liblzma that supports parallel compression.

    Added in version 3.21: Official CMake binaries available on cmake.org now ship with a liblzma that supports parallel compression. Older versions did not.

zstd
    Added in version 3.24.

    Supported if CMake is built with libarchive 3.6 or higher. Official CMake binaries available on cmake.org support it.

    Other compression methods ignore this value and use only one thread.

  Variables for Source Package Generators

The following CPack variables are specific to source packages, and will not affect binary packages:

CPACK_SOURCE_PACKAGE_FILE_NAME
    The name of the source package. For example cmake-2.6.1.

CPACK_SOURCE_STRIP_FILES
    List of files in the source tree that will be stripped. Starting with CMake 2.6.0, CPACK_SOURCE_STRIP_FILES will be a boolean variable which enables stripping of all files (a list of files evaluates to TRUE in CMake, so this change is compatible).

CPACK_SOURCE_GENERATOR
    List of generators used for the source packages. As with CPACK_GENERATOR, if this is not specified then CPack will create a set of options (e.g. CPACK_SOURCE_ZIP) allowing users to select which packages will be generated.

CPACK_SOURCE_OUTPUT_CONFIG_FILE
    The name of the CPack source configuration file. This file is the CPack configuration generated by the CPack module for source installers. Defaults to CPackSourceConfig.cmake.

CPACK_SOURCE_IGNORE_FILES
    Pattern of files in the source tree that won't be packaged when building a source package. This is a list of regular expression patterns (that must be properly escaped), e.g., /CVS/;/\\.svn/;\\.swp$;\\.#;/#;.*~;cscope.*

  Variables for Advanced Use

The following variables are for advanced uses of CPack:

CPACK_CMAKE_GENERATOR
    What CMake generator should be used if the project is a CMake project. Defaults to the value of CMAKE_GENERATOR. Few users will want to change this setting.

CPACK_INSTALL_CMAKE_PROJECTS
    List of four values that specify what project to install. The four values are: Build directory, Project Name, Project Component, Directory. If omitted, CPack will build an installer that installs everything.

CPACK_SYSTEM_NAME
    System name, defaults to the value of CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME, except on Windows where it will be win32 or win64.

CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION
    Package full version, used internally. By default, this is built from CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_MAJOR, CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_MINOR, and CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_PATCH.

CPACK_TOPLEVEL_TAG
    Directory for the installed files.

CPACK_INSTALL_COMMANDS
    Extra commands to install components. The environment variable CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX is set to the temporary install directory during execution.

CPACK_INSTALL_SCRIPTS
    Added in version 3.16.

    Extra CMake scripts executed by CPack during its local staging installation. They are executed before installing the files to be packaged. The scripts are not called by a standalone install (e.g.: make install). For every script, the following variables will be set: CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR, CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR and CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX (which is set to the staging install directory). The singular form CMAKE_INSTALL_SCRIPT is supported as an alternative variable for historical reasons, but its value is ignored if CMAKE_INSTALL_SCRIPTS is set and a warning will be issued.

    See also CPACK_PRE_BUILD_SCRIPTS and CPACK_POST_BUILD_SCRIPTS which can be used to specify scripts to be executed later in the packaging process.

CPACK_PRE_BUILD_SCRIPTS
    Added in version 3.19.

    List of CMake scripts to execute after CPack has installed the files to be packaged into a staging directory and before producing the package(s) from those files. See also CPACK_INSTALL_SCRIPTS and CPACK_POST_BUILD_SCRIPTS.

CPACK_POST_BUILD_SCRIPTS
    Added in version 3.19.

    List of CMake scripts to execute after CPack has produced the resultant packages and before copying them back to the build directory. See also CPACK_INSTALL_SCRIPTS, CPACK_PRE_BUILD_SCRIPTS and CPACK_PACKAGE_FILES.

CPACK_PACKAGE_FILES
    Added in version 3.19.

    List of package files created in the staging directory, with each file provided as a full absolute path. This variable is populated by CPack just before invoking the post-build scripts listed in CPACK_POST_BUILD_SCRIPTS. It is the preferred way for the post-build scripts to know the set of package files to operate on. Projects should not try to set this variable themselves.

CPACK_INSTALLED_DIRECTORIES
    Extra directories to install.

CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_REGISTRY_KEY
    Registry key used when installing this project. This is only used by installers for Windows. The default value is based on the installation directory.

CPACK_CREATE_DESKTOP_LINKS
    List of desktop links to create. Each desktop link requires a corresponding start menu shortcut as created by CPACK_PACKAGE_EXECUTABLES.

CPACK_BINARY_<GENNAME>
    CPack generated options for binary generators. The CPack.cmake module generates (when CPACK_GENERATOR is not set) a set of CMake options (see CMake option() command) which may then be used to select the CPack generator(s) to be used when building the package target or when running cpack without the -G option.

CPACK_READELF_EXECUTABLE
    Added in version 3.25.

    Specify the readelf executable path used by CPack. The default value will be taken from the CMAKE_READELF variable, if set, which may be populated CMake when enabling languages. If CMAKE_READELF is not set, CPack will use find_program() to determine the readelf path when needed.

CPACK_OBJCOPY_EXECUTABLE
    Added in version 3.25.

    Specify the objcopy executable path used by CPack. The default value will be taken from the CMAKE_OBJCOPY variable, if set, which may be populated by CMake when enabling languages. If CMAKE_OBJCOPY is not set, CPack will use find_program() to determine the objcopy path when needed.

CPACK_OBJDUMP_EXECUTABLE
    Added in version 3.25.

    Specify the objdump executable path used by CPack. The default value will be taken from the CMAKE_OBJDUMP variable, which may be populated by CMake when enabling languages. If CMAKE_OBJDUMP is not set, CPack will use find_program() to determine the objdump path when needed.

  CPackComponent

Configure components for binary installers and source packages.

  Introduction

This module is automatically included by CPack.

Certain binary installers (especially the graphical installers) generated by CPack allow users to select individual application components to install. This module allows developers to configure the packaging of such components.

Contents is assigned to components by the COMPONENT argument of CMake's install() command. Components can be annotated with user-friendly names and descriptions, inter-component dependencies, etc., and grouped in various ways to customize the resulting installer, using the commands described below.

To specify different groupings for different CPack generators use a CPACK_PROJECT_CONFIG_FILE.

  Variables

The following variables influence the component-specific packaging:

CPACK_COMPONENTS_ALL
    The list of component to install.

    The default value of this variable is computed by CPack and contains all components defined by the project. The user may set it to only include the specified components.

    Instead of specifying all the desired components, it is possible to obtain a list of all defined components and then remove the unwanted ones from the list. The get_cmake_property() command can be used to obtain the COMPONENTS property, then the list(REMOVE_ITEM) command can be used to remove the unwanted ones. For example, to use all defined components except foo and bar:

        get_cmake_property(CPACK_COMPONENTS_ALL COMPONENTS)
        list(REMOVE_ITEM CPACK_COMPONENTS_ALL "foo" "bar")

CPACK_<GENNAME>_COMPONENT_INSTALL
    Enable/Disable component install for CPack generator <GENNAME>.

    Each CPack Generator (RPM, DEB, ARCHIVE, NSIS, DMG, etc...) has a legacy default behavior. e.g. RPM builds monolithic whereas NSIS builds component. One can change the default behavior by setting this variable to 0/1 or OFF/ON.

CPACK_COMPONENTS_GROUPING
    Specify how components are grouped for multi-package component-aware CPack generators.

    Some generators like RPM or ARCHIVE (TGZ, ZIP, ...) may generate several packages files when there are components, depending on the value of this variable:

•   ONE_PER_GROUP (default): create one package per component group

•   IGNORE : create one package per component (ignore the groups)

•   ALL_COMPONENTS_IN_ONE : create a single package with all requested components

CPACK_COMPONENT_<compName>_DISPLAY_NAME
    The name to be displayed for a component.

CPACK_COMPONENT_<compName>_DESCRIPTION
    The description of a component.

CPACK_COMPONENT_<compName>_GROUP
    The group of a component.

CPACK_COMPONENT_<compName>_DEPENDS
    The dependencies (list of components) on which this component depends.

CPACK_COMPONENT_<compName>_HIDDEN
    True if this component is hidden from the user.

CPACK_COMPONENT_<compName>_REQUIRED
    True if this component is required.

CPACK_COMPONENT_<compName>_DISABLED
    True if this component is not selected to be installed by default.

  Commands

  Add component

cpack_add_component

    Describe an installation component.

        cpack_add_component(compname
                            [DISPLAY_NAME name]
                            [DESCRIPTION description]
                            [HIDDEN | REQUIRED | DISABLED ]
                            [GROUP group]
                            [DEPENDS comp1 comp2 ... ]
                            [INSTALL_TYPES type1 type2 ... ]
                            [DOWNLOADED]
                            [ARCHIVE_FILE filename]
                            [PLIST filename])

    compname is the name of an installation component, as defined by the COMPONENT argument of one or more CMake install() commands. With the cpack_add_component command one can set a name, a description, and other attributes of an installation component. One can also assign a component to a component group.

    DISPLAY_NAME is the displayed name of the component, used in graphical installers to display the component name. This value can be any string.

    DESCRIPTION is an extended description of the component, used in graphical installers to give the user additional information about the component. Descriptions can span multiple lines using \n as the line separator. Typically, these descriptions should be no more than a few lines long.

    HIDDEN indicates that this component will be hidden in the graphical installer, so that the user cannot directly change whether it is installed or not.

    REQUIRED indicates that this component is required, and therefore will always be installed. It will be visible in the graphical installer, but it cannot be unselected. (Typically, required components are shown grayed out).

    DISABLED indicates that this component should be disabled (unselected) by default. The user is free to select this component for installation, unless it is also HIDDEN.

    DEPENDS lists the components on which this component depends. If this component is selected, then each of the components listed must also be selected. The dependency information is encoded within the installer itself, so that users cannot install inconsistent sets of components.

    GROUP names the component group of which this component is a part. If not provided, the component will be a standalone component, not part of any component group. Component groups are described with the cpack_add_component_group command, detailed below.

    INSTALL_TYPES lists the installation types of which this component is a part. When one of these installations types is selected, this component will automatically be selected. Installation types are described with the cpack_add_install_type command, detailed below.

    DOWNLOADED indicates that this component should be downloaded on-the-fly by the installer, rather than packaged in with the installer itself. For more information, see the cpack_configure_downloads command.

    ARCHIVE_FILE provides a name for the archive file created by CPack to be used for downloaded components. If not supplied, CPack will create a file with some name based on CPACK_PACKAGE_FILE_NAME and the name of the component. See cpack_configure_downloads for more information.

    PLIST gives a filename that is passed to pkgbuild with the --component-plist argument when using the productbuild generator.

  Add component group

cpack_add_component_group

    Describes a group of related CPack installation components.

        cpack_add_component_group(groupname
                                 [DISPLAY_NAME name]
                                 [DESCRIPTION description]
                                 [PARENT_GROUP parent]
                                 [EXPANDED]
                                 [BOLD_TITLE])

    The cpack_add_component_group describes a group of installation components, which will be placed together within the listing of options. Typically, component groups allow the user to select/deselect all of the components within a single group via a single group-level option. Use component groups to reduce the complexity of installers with many options. groupname is an arbitrary name used to identify the group in the GROUP argument of the cpack_add_component command, which is used to place a component in a group. The name of the group must not conflict with the name of any component.

    DISPLAY_NAME is the displayed name of the component group, used in graphical installers to display the component group name. This value can be any string.

    DESCRIPTION is an extended description of the component group, used in graphical installers to give the user additional information about the components within that group. Descriptions can span multiple lines using \n as the line separator. Typically, these descriptions should be no more than a few lines long.

    PARENT_GROUP, if supplied, names the parent group of this group. Parent groups are used to establish a hierarchy of groups, providing an arbitrary hierarchy of groups.

    EXPANDED indicates that, by default, the group should show up as "expanded", so that the user immediately sees all of the components within the group. Otherwise, the group will initially show up as a single entry.

    BOLD_TITLE indicates that the group title should appear in bold, to call the user's attention to the group.

  Add installation type

cpack_add_install_type

    Add a new installation type containing a set of predefined component selections to the graphical installer.

        cpack_add_install_type(typename
                               [DISPLAY_NAME name])

    The cpack_add_install_type command identifies a set of preselected components that represents a common use case for an application. For example, a "Developer" install type might include an application along with its header and library files, while an "End user" install type might just include the application's executable. Each component identifies itself with one or more install types via the INSTALL_TYPES argument to cpack_add_component.

    DISPLAY_NAME is the displayed name of the install type, which will typically show up in a drop-down box within a graphical installer. This value can be any string.

  Configure downloads

cpack_configure_downloads

    Configure CPack to download selected components on-the-fly as part of the installation process.

        cpack_configure_downloads(site
                                  [UPLOAD_DIRECTORY dirname]
                                  [ALL]
                                  [ADD_REMOVE|NO_ADD_REMOVE])

    The cpack_configure_downloads command configures installation-time downloads of selected components. For each downloadable component, CPack will create an archive containing the contents of that component, which should be uploaded to the given site. When the user selects that component for installation, the installer will download and extract the component in place. This feature is useful for creating small installers that only download the requested components, saving bandwidth. Additionally, the installers are small enough that they will be installed as part of the normal installation process, and the "Change" button in Windows Add/Remove Programs control panel will allow one to add or remove parts of the application after the original installation. On Windows, the downloaded-components functionality requires the ZipDLL plug-in for NSIS, available at:

        http://nsis.sourceforge.net/ZipDLL_plug-in

    On macOS, installers that download components on-the-fly can only be built and installed on system using macOS 10.5 or later.

    The site argument is a URL where the archives for downloadable components will reside, e.g., https://cmake.org/files/v3.25/ All of the archives produced by CPack should be uploaded to that location.

    UPLOAD_DIRECTORY is the local directory where CPack will create the various archives for each of the components. The contents of this directory should be uploaded to a location accessible by the URL given in the site argument. If omitted, CPack will use the directory CPackUploads inside the CMake binary directory to store the generated archives.

    The ALL flag indicates that all components be downloaded. Otherwise, only those components explicitly marked as DOWNLOADED or that have a specified ARCHIVE_FILE will be downloaded. Additionally, the ALL option implies ADD_REMOVE (unless NO_ADD_REMOVE is specified).

    ADD_REMOVE indicates that CPack should install a copy of the installer that can be called from Windows' Add/Remove Programs dialog (via the "Modify" button) to change the set of installed components. NO_ADD_REMOVE turns off this behavior. This option is ignored on Mac OS X.

  CPackIFW

Added in version 3.1.

This module looks for the location of the command-line utilities supplied with the Qt Installer Framework (QtIFW).

  CPackIFWConfigureFile

Added in version 3.8.

The module defines configure_file() similar command to configure file templates prepared in QtIFW/SDK/Creator style.

  Commands

The module defines the following commands:

cpack_ifw_configure_file
    Copy a file to another location and modify its contents.

        cpack_ifw_configure_file(<input> <output>)

    Copies an <input> file to an <output> file and substitutes variable values referenced as %{VAR} or %VAR% in the input file content. Each variable reference will be replaced with the current value of the variable, or the empty string if the variable is not defined.

  CSharpUtilities

Added in version 3.8.

Functions to make configuration of CSharp/.NET targets easier.

A collection of CMake utility functions useful for dealing with CSharp targets for Visual Studio generators from version 2010 and later.

The following functions are provided by this module:

Main functions

•   csharp_set_windows_forms_properties()

•   csharp_set_designer_cs_properties()

•   csharp_set_xaml_cs_properties()

    Helper functions

•   csharp_get_filename_keys()

•   csharp_get_filename_key_base()

•   csharp_get_dependentupon_name()

  Main functions provided by the module

csharp_set_windows_forms_properties
    Sets source file properties for use of Windows Forms. Use this, if your CSharp target uses Windows Forms:

        csharp_set_windows_forms_properties([<file1> [<file2> [...]]])

<fileN>
    List of all source files which are relevant for setting the VS_CSHARP_<tagname> properties (including .cs, .resx and .Designer.cs extensions).

    In the list of all given files for all files ending with .Designer.cs and .resx is searched. For every designer or resource file a file with the same base name but only .cs as extension is searched. If this is found, the VS_CSHARP_<tagname> properties are set as follows:

for the .cs file:

•   VS_CSHARP_SubType "Form"

for the .Designer.cs file (if it exists):

•   VS_CSHARP_DependentUpon <cs-filename>

•   VS_CSHARP_DesignTime "" (delete tag if previously defined)

•   VS_CSHARP_AutoGen ""(delete tag if previously defined)

for the .resx file (if it exists):

•   VS_RESOURCE_GENERATOR "" (delete tag if previously defined)

•   VS_CSHARP_DependentUpon <cs-filename>

•   VS_CSHARP_SubType "Designer"

csharp_set_designer_cs_properties
    Sets source file properties of .Designer.cs files depending on sibling filenames. Use this, if your CSharp target does not use Windows Forms (for Windows Forms use csharp_set_windows_forms_properties() instead):

        csharp_set_designer_cs_properties([<file1> [<file2> [...]]])

<fileN>
    List of all source files which are relevant for setting the VS_CSHARP_<tagname> properties (including .cs, .resx, .settings and .Designer.cs extensions).

    In the list of all given files for all files ending with .Designer.cs is searched. For every designer file all files with the same base name but different extensions are searched. If a match is found, the source file properties of the designer file are set depending on the extension of the matched file:

    if match is .resx file:

•   VS_CSHARP_AutoGen "True"

•   VS_CSHARP_DesignTime "True"

•   VS_CSHARP_DependentUpon <resx-filename>

    if match is .cs file:

•   VS_CSHARP_DependentUpon <cs-filename>

    if match is .settings file:

•   VS_CSHARP_AutoGen "True"

•   VS_CSHARP_DesignTimeSharedInput "True"

•   VS_CSHARP_DependentUpon <settings-filename>

    NOTE: Because the source file properties of the .Designer.cs file are set according to the found matches and every match sets the VS_CSHARP_DependentUpon property, there should only be one match for each Designer.cs file.

csharp_set_xaml_cs_properties
    Sets source file properties for use of Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and XAML. Use this, if your CSharp target uses WPF/XAML:

        csharp_set_xaml_cs_properties([<file1> [<file2> [...]]])

<fileN>
    List of all source files which are relevant for setting the VS_CSHARP_<tagname> properties (including .cs, .xaml, and .xaml.cs extensions).

    In the list of all given files for all files ending with .xaml.cs is searched. For every xaml-cs file, a file with the same base name but extension .xaml is searched. If a match is found, the source file properties of the .xaml.cs file are set:

•   VS_CSHARP_DependentUpon <xaml-filename>

  Helper functions which are used by the above ones

csharp_get_filename_keys
    Helper function which computes a list of key values to identify source files independently of relative/absolute paths given in cmake and eliminates case sensitivity:

        csharp_get_filename_keys(OUT [<file1> [<file2> [...]]])

OUT Name of the variable in which the list of keys is stored

<fileN>
    filename(s) as given to CSharp target using add_library() or add_executable()

    In some way the function applies a canonicalization to the source names. This is necessary to find file matches if the files have been added to the target with different directory prefixes:

        add_library(lib
          myfile.cs
          ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/myfile.Designer.cs)
        set_source_files_properties(myfile.Designer.cs PROPERTIES
          VS_CSHARP_DependentUpon myfile.cs)
        # this will fail, because in cmake
        #  - ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/myfile.Designer.cs
        #  - myfile.Designer.cs
        # are not the same source file. The source file property is not set.

csharp_get_filename_key_base
    Returns the full filepath and name without extension of a key. KEY is expected to be a key from csharp_get_filename_keys. In BASE the value of KEY without the file extension is returned:

        csharp_get_filename_key_base(BASE KEY)

BASE
    Name of the variable with the computed "base" of KEY.

KEY The key of which the base will be computed. Expected to be a upper case full filename.

csharp_get_dependentupon_name
    Computes a string which can be used as value for the source file property VS_CSHARP_<tagname> with target being DependentUpon:

        csharp_get_dependentupon_name(NAME FILE)

NAME
    Name of the variable with the result value

FILE
    Filename to convert to <DependentUpon> value

    Actually this is only the filename without any path given at the moment.

  CTest

Configure a project for testing with CTest/CDash

Include this module in the top CMakeLists.txt file of a project to enable testing with CTest and dashboard submissions to CDash:

    project(MyProject)
    ...
    include(CTest)

The module automatically creates the following variables:

BUILD_TESTING Option selecting whether include(CTest) calls enable_testing(). The option is ON by default when created by the module.

After including the module, use code like:

    if(BUILD_TESTING)
      # ... CMake code to create tests ...
    endif()

to creating tests when testing is enabled.

To enable submissions to a CDash server, create a CTestConfig.cmake file at the top of the project with content such as:

    set(CTEST_NIGHTLY_START_TIME "01:00:00 UTC")
    set(CTEST_SUBMIT_URL "http://my.cdash.org/submit.php?project=MyProject")

(the CDash server can provide the file to a project administrator who configures MyProject). Settings in the config file are shared by both this CTest module and the ctest(1) command-line Dashboard Client mode (ctest -S).

While building a project for submission to CDash, CTest scans the build output for errors and warnings and reports them with surrounding context from the build log. This generic approach works for all build tools, but does not give details about the command invocation that produced a given problem. One may get more detailed reports by setting the CTEST_USE_LAUNCHERS variable:

    set(CTEST_USE_LAUNCHERS 1)

in the CTestConfig.cmake file.

  CTestCoverageCollectGCOV

Added in version 3.2.

This module provides the ctest_coverage_collect_gcov function.

This function runs gcov on all .gcda files found in the binary tree and packages the resulting .gcov files into a tar file. This tarball also contains the following:

•   data.json defines the source and build directories for use by CDash.

•   Labels.json indicates any LABELS that have been set on the source files.

•   The uncovered directory holds any uncovered files found by CTEST_EXTRA_COVERAGE_GLOB.

    After generating this tar file, it can be sent to CDash for display with the ctest_submit(CDASH_UPLOAD) command.

ctest_coverage_collect_gcov

        ctest_coverage_collect_gcov(TARBALL <tarfile>
          [SOURCE <source_dir>][BUILD <build_dir>]
          [GCOV_COMMAND <gcov_command>]
          [GCOV_OPTIONS <options>...]
          )

    Run gcov and package a tar file for CDash. The options are:

TARBALL <tarfile>
    Specify the location of the .tar file to be created for later upload to CDash. Relative paths will be interpreted with respect to the top-level build directory.

TARBALL_COMPRESSION <option>
    Added in version 3.18.

    Specify a compression algorithm for the TARBALL data file. Using this option reduces the size of the data file before it is submitted to CDash. <option> must be one of GZIP, BZIP2, XZ, ZSTD, FROM_EXT, or an expression that CMake evaluates as FALSE. The default value is BZIP2.

    If FROM_EXT is specified, the resulting file will be compressed based on the file extension of the <tarfile> (i.e. .tar.gz will use GZIP compression). File extensions that will produce compressed output include .tar.gz, .tgz, .tar.bzip2, .tbz, .tar.xz, and .txz.

SOURCE <source_dir>
    Specify the top-level source directory for the build. Default is the value of CTEST_SOURCE_DIRECTORY.

BUILD <build_dir>
    Specify the top-level build directory for the build. Default is the value of CTEST_BINARY_DIRECTORY.

GCOV_COMMAND <gcov_command>
    Specify the full path to the gcov command on the machine. Default is the value of CTEST_COVERAGE_COMMAND.

GCOV_OPTIONS <options>...
    Specify options to be passed to gcov. The gcov command is run as gcov <options>... -o <gcov-dir> <file>.gcda. If not specified, the default option is just -b -x.

GLOB
    Added in version 3.6.

    Recursively search for .gcda files in build_dir rather than determining search locations by reading TargetDirectories.txt.

DELETE
    Added in version 3.6.

    Delete coverage files after they've been packaged into the .tar.

QUIET
    Suppress non-error messages that otherwise would have been printed out by this function.

    Added in version 3.3: Added support for the CTEST_CUSTOM_COVERAGE_EXCLUDE variable.

  CTestScriptMode

This file is read by ctest in script mode (-S)

  CTestUseLaunchers

Set the RULE_LAUNCH_* global properties when CTEST_USE_LAUNCHERS is on.

CTestUseLaunchers is automatically included when you include(CTest). However, it is split out into its own module file so projects can use the CTEST_USE_LAUNCHERS functionality independently.

To use launchers, set CTEST_USE_LAUNCHERS to ON in a ctest -S dashboard script, and then also set it in the cache of the configured project. Both cmake and ctest need to know the value of it for the launchers to work properly. CMake needs to know in order to generate proper build rules, and ctest, in order to produce the proper error and warning analysis.

For convenience, you may set the ENV variable CTEST_USE_LAUNCHERS_DEFAULT in your ctest -S script, too. Then, as long as your CMakeLists uses include(CTest) or include(CTestUseLaunchers), it will use the value of the ENV variable to initialize a CTEST_USE_LAUNCHERS cache variable. This cache variable initialization only occurs if CTEST_USE_LAUNCHERS is not already defined.

Added in version 3.8: If CTEST_USE_LAUNCHERS is on in a ctest -S script the ctest_configure command will add -DCTEST_USE_LAUNCHERS:BOOL=TRUE to the cmake command used to configure the project.

  DeployQt4

Functions to help assemble a standalone Qt4 executable.

A collection of CMake utility functions useful for deploying Qt4 executables.

The following functions are provided by this module:

    write_qt4_conf
    resolve_qt4_paths
    fixup_qt4_executable
    install_qt4_plugin_path
    install_qt4_plugin
    install_qt4_executable

Requires CMake 2.6 or greater because it uses function and PARENT_SCOPE. Also depends on BundleUtilities.cmake.

    write_qt4_conf(<qt_conf_dir> <qt_conf_contents>)

Writes a qt.conf file with the <qt_conf_contents> into <qt_conf_dir>.

    resolve_qt4_paths(<paths_var> [<executable_path>])

Loop through <paths_var> list and if any don't exist resolve them relative to the <executable_path> (if supplied) or the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.

    fixup_qt4_executable(<executable>
      [<qtplugins> <libs> <dirs> <plugins_dir> <request_qt_conf>])

Copies Qt plugins, writes a Qt configuration file (if needed) and fixes up a Qt4 executable using BundleUtilities so it is standalone and can be drag-and-drop copied to another machine as long as all of the system libraries are compatible.

<executable> should point to the executable to be fixed-up.

<qtplugins> should contain a list of the names or paths of any Qt plugins to be installed.

<libs> will be passed to BundleUtilities and should be a list of any already installed plugins, libraries or executables to also be fixed-up.

<dirs> will be passed to BundleUtilities and should contain and directories to be searched to find library dependencies.

<plugins_dir> allows an custom plugins directory to be used.

<request_qt_conf> will force a qt.conf file to be written even if not needed.

    install_qt4_plugin_path(plugin executable copy installed_plugin_path_var
                            <plugins_dir> <component> <configurations>)

Install (or copy) a resolved <plugin> to the default plugins directory (or <plugins_dir>) relative to <executable> and store the result in <installed_plugin_path_var>.

If <copy> is set to TRUE then the plugins will be copied rather than installed. This is to allow this module to be used at CMake time rather than install time.

If <component> is set then anything installed will use this COMPONENT.

    install_qt4_plugin(plugin executable copy installed_plugin_path_var
                       <plugins_dir> <component>)

Install (or copy) an unresolved <plugin> to the default plugins directory (or <plugins_dir>) relative to <executable> and store the result in <installed_plugin_path_var>. See documentation of INSTALL_QT4_PLUGIN_PATH.

    install_qt4_executable(<executable>
      [<qtplugins> <libs> <dirs> <plugins_dir> <request_qt_conf> <component>])

Installs Qt plugins, writes a Qt configuration file (if needed) and fixes up a Qt4 executable using BundleUtilities so it is standalone and can be drag-and-drop copied to another machine as long as all of the system libraries are compatible. The executable will be fixed-up at install time. <component> is the COMPONENT used for bundle fixup and plugin installation. See documentation of FIXUP_QT4_BUNDLE.

  ExternalData

Manage data files stored outside source tree

  Introduction

Use this module to unambiguously reference data files stored outside the source tree and fetch them at build time from arbitrary local and remote content-addressed locations. Functions provided by this module recognize arguments with the syntax DATA{<name>} as references to external data, replace them with full paths to local copies of those data, and create build rules to fetch and update the local copies.

For example:

    include(ExternalData)
    set(ExternalData_URL_TEMPLATES "file:///local/%(algo)/%(hash)"
                                   "file:////host/share/%(algo)/%(hash)"
                                   "http://data.org/%(algo)/%(hash)")
    ExternalData_Add_Test(MyData
      NAME MyTest
      COMMAND MyExe DATA{MyInput.png}
      )
    ExternalData_Add_Target(MyData)

When test MyTest runs the DATA{MyInput.png} argument will be replaced by the full path to a real instance of the data file MyInput.png on disk. If the source tree contains a content link such as MyInput.png.md5 then the MyData target creates a real MyInput.png in the build tree.

  Module Functions

ExternalData_Expand_Arguments
    The ExternalData_Expand_Arguments function evaluates DATA{} references in its arguments and constructs a new list of arguments:

        ExternalData_Expand_Arguments(
          <target>   # Name of data management target
          <outVar>   # Output variable
          [args...]  # Input arguments, DATA{} allowed
          )

    It replaces each DATA{} reference in an argument with the full path of a real data file on disk that will exist after the <target> builds.

ExternalData_Add_Test
    The ExternalData_Add_Test function wraps around the CMake add_test() command but supports DATA{} references in its arguments:

        ExternalData_Add_Test(
          <target>   # Name of data management target
          ...        # Arguments of add_test(), DATA{} allowed
          )

    It passes its arguments through ExternalData_Expand_Arguments and then invokes the add_test() command using the results.

    Changed in version 3.31: If the arguments after <target> define a test with an executable that is a CMake target, empty values in the TEST_LAUNCHER and CROSSCOMPILING_EMULATOR properties of that target are preserved. See policy CMP0178.

ExternalData_Add_Target
    The ExternalData_Add_Target function creates a custom target to manage local instances of data files stored externally:

        ExternalData_Add_Target(
          <target>                  # Name of data management target
          [SHOW_PROGRESS <ON|OFF>]  # Show progress during the download
          )

    It creates custom commands in the target as necessary to make data files available for each DATA{} reference previously evaluated by other functions provided by this module. Data files may be fetched from one of the URL templates specified in the ExternalData_URL_TEMPLATES variable, or may be found locally in one of the paths specified in the ExternalData_OBJECT_STORES variable.

    Added in version 3.20: The SHOW_PROGRESS argument may be passed to suppress progress information during the download of objects. If not provided, it defaults to OFF for Ninja and Ninja Multi-Config generators and ON otherwise.

    Typically only one target is needed to manage all external data within a project. Call this function once at the end of configuration after all data references have been processed.

  Module Variables

The following variables configure behavior. They should be set before calling any of the functions provided by this module.

ExternalData_BINARY_ROOT
    The ExternalData_BINARY_ROOT variable may be set to the directory to hold the real data files named by expanded DATA{} references. The default is CMAKE_BINARY_DIR. The directory layout will mirror that of content links under ExternalData_SOURCE_ROOT.

ExternalData_CUSTOM_SCRIPT_<key>
    Added in version 3.2.

    Specify a full path to a .cmake custom fetch script identified by <key> in entries of the ExternalData_URL_TEMPLATES list. See Custom Fetch Scripts.

ExternalData_HTTPHEADERS
    Added in version 4.0.

    The ExternalData_HTTPHEADERS variable may be used to supply a list of headers, each element containing one header with the form Key: Value. See the file(DOWNLOAD) command's HTTPHEADER option.

ExternalData_LINK_CONTENT
    The ExternalData_LINK_CONTENT variable may be set to the name of a supported hash algorithm to enable automatic conversion of real data files referenced by the DATA{} syntax into content links. For each such <file> a content link named <file><ext> is created. The original file is renamed to the form .ExternalData_<algo>_<hash> to stage it for future transmission to one of the locations in the list of URL templates (by means outside the scope of this module). The data fetch rule created for the content link will use the staged object if it cannot be found using any URL template.

ExternalData_NO_SYMLINKS
    Added in version 3.3.

    The real data files named by expanded DATA{} references may be made available under ExternalData_BINARY_ROOT using symbolic links on some platforms. The ExternalData_NO_SYMLINKS variable may be set to disable use of symbolic links and enable use of copies instead.

ExternalData_OBJECT_STORES
    The ExternalData_OBJECT_STORES variable may be set to a list of local directories that store objects using the layout <dir>/%(algo)/%(hash). These directories will be searched first for a needed object. If the object is not available in any store then it will be fetched remotely using the URL templates and added to the first local store listed. If no stores are specified the default is a location inside the build tree.

ExternalData_SERIES_PARSE

ExternalData_SERIES_PARSE_PREFIX

ExternalData_SERIES_PARSE_NUMBER

ExternalData_SERIES_PARSE_SUFFIX

ExternalData_SERIES_MATCH
    See Referencing File Series.

ExternalData_SOURCE_ROOT
    The ExternalData_SOURCE_ROOT variable may be set to the highest source directory containing any path named by a DATA{} reference. The default is CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR. ExternalData_SOURCE_ROOT and CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR must refer to directories within a single source distribution (e.g. they come together in one tarball).

ExternalData_TIMEOUT_ABSOLUTE
    The ExternalData_TIMEOUT_ABSOLUTE variable sets the download absolute timeout, in seconds, with a default of 300 seconds. Set to 0 to disable enforcement.

ExternalData_TIMEOUT_INACTIVITY
    The ExternalData_TIMEOUT_INACTIVITY variable sets the download inactivity timeout, in seconds, with a default of 60 seconds. Set to 0 to disable enforcement.

ExternalData_URL_ALGO_<algo>_<key>
    Added in version 3.3.

    Specify a custom URL component to be substituted for URL template placeholders of the form %(algo:<key>), where <key> is a valid C identifier, when fetching an object referenced via hash algorithm <algo>. If not defined, the default URL component is just <algo> for any <key>.

ExternalData_URL_TEMPLATES
    The ExternalData_URL_TEMPLATES may be set to provide a list of URL templates using the placeholders %(algo) and %(hash) in each template. Data fetch rules try each URL template in order by substituting the hash algorithm name for %(algo) and the hash value for %(hash). Alternatively one may use %(algo:<key>) with ExternalData_URL_ALGO_<algo>_<key> variables to gain more flexibility in remote URLs.

  Referencing Files

  Referencing Single Files

The DATA{} syntax is literal and the <name> is a full or relative path within the source tree. The source tree must contain either a real data file at <name> or a "content link" at <name><ext> containing a hash of the real file using a hash algorithm corresponding to <ext>. For example, the argument DATA{img.png} may be satisfied by either a real img.png file in the current source directory or a img.png.md5 file containing its MD5 sum.

Added in version 3.8: Multiple content links of the same name with different hash algorithms are supported (e.g. img.png.sha256 and img.png.sha1) so long as they all correspond to the same real file. This allows objects to be fetched from sources indexed by different hash algorithms.

  Referencing File Series

The DATA{} syntax can be told to fetch a file series using the form DATA{<name>,:}, where the : is literal. If the source tree contains a group of files or content links named like a series then a reference to one member adds rules to fetch all of them. Although all members of a series are fetched, only the file originally named by the DATA{} argument is substituted for it. The default configuration recognizes file series names ending with #.ext, _#.ext, .#.ext, or -#.ext where # is a sequence of decimal digits and .ext is any single extension. Configure it with a regex that parses <number> and <suffix> parts from the end of <name>: ExternalData_SERIES_PARSE - regex of the form (<number>)(<suffix>)$.

For more complicated cases set:

•   ExternalData_SERIES_PARSE - regex with at least two () groups.

•   ExternalData_SERIES_PARSE_PREFIX - regex group number of the <prefix>, if any.

•   ExternalData_SERIES_PARSE_NUMBER - regex group number of the <number>.

•   ExternalData_SERIES_PARSE_SUFFIX - regex group number of the <suffix>.

    Configure series number matching with a regex that matches the <number> part of series members named <prefix><number><suffix>: ExternalData_SERIES_MATCH - regex matching <number> in all series members

    Note that the <suffix> of a series does not include a hash-algorithm extension.

  Referencing Associated Files

The DATA{} syntax can alternatively match files associated with the named file and contained in the same directory. Associated files may be specified by options using the syntax DATA{<name>,<opt1>,<opt2>,...}. Each option may specify one file by name or specify a regular expression to match file names using the syntax REGEX:<regex>. For example, the arguments:

    DATA{MyData/MyInput.mhd,MyInput.img}                   # File pair
    DATA{MyData/MyFrames00.png,REGEX:MyFrames[0-9]+\\.png} # Series

will pass MyInput.mha and MyFrames00.png on the command line but ensure that the associated files are present next to them.

  Referencing Directories

The DATA{} syntax may reference a directory using a trailing slash and a list of associated files. The form DATA{<name>/,<opt1>,<opt2>,...} adds rules to fetch any files in the directory that match one of the associated file options. For example, the argument DATA{MyDataDir/,REGEX:.*} will pass the full path to a MyDataDir directory on the command line and ensure that the directory contains files corresponding to every file or content link in the MyDataDir source directory.

Added in version 3.3: In order to match associated files in subdirectories, specify a RECURSE: option, e.g. DATA{MyDataDir/,RECURSE:,REGEX:.*}.

  Hash Algorithms

The following hash algorithms are supported:
%(algo) | <ext> | Description
MD5 | .md5 | Message-Digest Algorithm 5, RFC 1321
SHA1 | .sha1 | US Secure Hash Algorithm 1, RFC 3174
SHA224 | .sha224 | US Secure Hash Algorithms, RFC 4634
SHA256 | .sha256 | US Secure Hash Algorithms, RFC 4634
SHA384 | .sha384 | US Secure Hash Algorithms, RFC 4634
SHA512 | .sha512 | US Secure Hash Algorithms, RFC 4634
SHA3_224 | .sha3-224 | Keccak SHA-3
SHA3_256 | .sha3-256 | Keccak SHA-3
SHA3_384 | .sha3-384 | Keccak SHA-3
SHA3_512 | .sha3-512 | Keccak SHA-3

Added in version 3.8: Added the SHA3_* hash algorithms.

Note that the hashes are used only for unique data identification and download verification.

  Custom Fetch Scripts

Added in version 3.2.

When a data file must be fetched from one of the URL templates specified in the ExternalData_URL_TEMPLATES variable, it is normally downloaded using the file(DOWNLOAD) command. One may specify usage of a custom fetch script by using a URL template of the form ExternalDataCustomScript://<key>/<loc>. The <key> must be a C identifier, and the <loc> must contain the %(algo) and %(hash) placeholders. A variable corresponding to the key, ExternalData_CUSTOM_SCRIPT_<key>, must be set to the full path to a .cmake script file. The script will be included to perform the actual fetch, and provided with the following variables:

ExternalData_CUSTOM_LOCATION
    When a custom fetch script is loaded, this variable is set to the location part of the URL, which will contain the substituted hash algorithm name and content hash value.

ExternalData_CUSTOM_FILE
    When a custom fetch script is loaded, this variable is set to the full path to a file in which the script must store the fetched content. The name of the file is unspecified and should not be interpreted in any way.

    The custom fetch script is expected to store fetched content in the file or set a variable:

ExternalData_CUSTOM_ERROR
    When a custom fetch script fails to fetch the requested content, it must set this variable to a short one-line message describing the reason for failure.

  ExternalProject

  External Project Definition

ExternalProject_Add
    The ExternalProject_Add() function creates a custom target to drive download, update/patch, configure, build, install and test steps of an external project:

        ExternalProject_Add(<name> [<option>...])

    The individual steps within the process can be driven independently if required (e.g. for CDash submission) and extra custom steps can be defined, along with the ability to control the step dependencies. The directory structure used for the management of the external project can also be customized. The function supports a large number of options which can be used to tailor the external project behavior.

  Directory Options

Most of the time, the default directory layout is sufficient. It is largely an implementation detail that the main project usually doesn't need to change. In some circumstances, however, control over the directory layout can be useful or necessary. The directory options are potentially more useful from the point of view that the main build can use the ExternalProject_Get_Property() command to retrieve their values, thereby allowing the main project to refer to build artifacts of the external project.

PREFIX <dir>
    Root directory for the external project. Unless otherwise noted below, all other directories associated with the external project will be created under here.

TMP_DIR <dir>
    Directory in which to store temporary files.

STAMP_DIR <dir>
    Directory in which to store the timestamps of each step. Log files from individual steps are also created in here unless overridden by LOG_DIR (see Logging Options below).

LOG_DIR <dir>
    Added in version 3.14.

    Directory in which to store the logs of each step.

DOWNLOAD_DIR <dir>
    Directory in which to store downloaded files before unpacking them. This directory is only used by the URL download method, all other download methods use SOURCE_DIR directly instead.

SOURCE_DIR <dir>
    Source directory into which downloaded contents will be unpacked, or for non-URL download methods, the directory in which the repository should be checked out, cloned, etc. If no download method is specified, this must point to an existing directory where the external project has already been unpacked or cloned/checked out.

    NOTE: If a download method is specified, any existing contents of the source directory may be deleted. Only the URL download method checks whether this directory is either missing or empty before initiating the download, stopping with an error if it is not empty. All other download methods silently discard any previous contents of the source directory.

BINARY_DIR <dir>
    Specify the build directory location. This option is ignored if BUILD_IN_SOURCE is enabled.

INSTALL_DIR <dir>
    Installation prefix to be placed in the <INSTALL_DIR> placeholder. This does not actually configure the external project to install to the given prefix. That must be done by passing appropriate arguments to the external project configuration step, e.g. using <INSTALL_DIR>.

    If any of the above ..._DIR options are not specified, their defaults are computed as follows. If the PREFIX option is given or the EP_PREFIX directory property is set, then an external project is built and installed under the specified prefix:

        TMP_DIR      = <prefix>/tmp
        STAMP_DIR    = <prefix>/src/<name>-stamp
        DOWNLOAD_DIR = <prefix>/src
        SOURCE_DIR   = <prefix>/src/<name>
        BINARY_DIR   = <prefix>/src/<name>-build
        INSTALL_DIR  = <prefix>
        LOG_DIR      = <STAMP_DIR>

    Otherwise, if the EP_BASE directory property is set then components of an external project are stored under the specified base:

        TMP_DIR      = <base>/tmp/<name>
        STAMP_DIR    = <base>/Stamp/<name>
        DOWNLOAD_DIR = <base>/Download/<name>
        SOURCE_DIR   = <base>/Source/<name>
        BINARY_DIR   = <base>/Build/<name>
        INSTALL_DIR  = <base>/Install/<name>
        LOG_DIR      = <STAMP_DIR>

    If no PREFIX, EP_PREFIX, or EP_BASE is specified, then the default is to set PREFIX to <name>-prefix. Relative paths are interpreted with respect to CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR at the point where ExternalProject_Add() is called.

  Download Step Options

A download method can be omitted if the SOURCE_DIR option is used to point to an existing non-empty directory. Otherwise, one of the download methods below must be specified (multiple download methods should not be given) or a custom DOWNLOAD_COMMAND provided.

DOWNLOAD_COMMAND <cmd>...
    Overrides the command used for the download step (generator expressions are supported). If this option is specified, all other download options will be ignored. Providing an empty string for <cmd> effectively disables the download step.

  URL

URL <url1> [<url2>...]
    List of paths and/or URL(s) of the external project's source. When more than one URL is given, they are tried in turn until one succeeds. A URL may be an ordinary path in the local file system (in which case it must be the only URL provided) or any downloadable URL supported by the file(DOWNLOAD) command. A local filesystem path may refer to either an existing directory or to an archive file, whereas a URL is expected to point to a file which can be treated as an archive. When an archive is used, it will be unpacked automatically unless the DOWNLOAD_NO_EXTRACT option is set to prevent it. The archive type is determined by inspecting the actual content rather than using logic based on the file extension.

    Changed in version 3.7: Multiple URLs are allowed.

URL_HASH <algo>=<hashValue>
    Hash of the archive file to be downloaded. The argument should be of the form <algo>=<hashValue> where algo can be any of the hashing algorithms supported by the file() command. Specifying this option is strongly recommended for URL downloads, as it ensures the integrity of the downloaded content. It is also used as a check for a previously downloaded file, allowing connection to the remote location to be avoided altogether if the local directory already has a file from an earlier download that matches the specified hash.

URL_MD5 <md5>
    Equivalent to URL_HASH MD5=<md5>.

DOWNLOAD_NAME <fname>
    File name to use for the downloaded file. If not given, the end of the URL is used to determine the file name. This option is rarely needed, the default name is generally suitable and is not normally used outside of code internal to the ExternalProject module.

DOWNLOAD_EXTRACT_TIMESTAMP <bool>
    Added in version 3.24.

    When specified with a true value, the timestamps of the extracted files will match those in the archive. When false, the timestamps of the extracted files will reflect the time at which the extraction was performed. If the download URL changes, timestamps based off those in the archive can result in dependent targets not being rebuilt when they potentially should have been. Therefore, unless the file timestamps are significant to the project in some way, use a false value for this option. If DOWNLOAD_EXTRACT_TIMESTAMP is not given, the default is false. See policy CMP0135.

DOWNLOAD_NO_EXTRACT <bool>
    Added in version 3.6.

    Allows the extraction part of the download step to be disabled by passing a boolean true value for this option. If this option is not given, the downloaded contents will be unpacked automatically if required. If extraction has been disabled, the full path to the downloaded file is available as <DOWNLOADED_FILE> in subsequent steps or as the property DOWNLOADED_FILE with the ExternalProject_Get_Property() command.

DOWNLOAD_NO_PROGRESS <bool>
    Can be used to disable logging the download progress. If this option is not given, download progress messages will be logged.

TIMEOUT <seconds>
    Maximum time allowed for file download operations.

INACTIVITY_TIMEOUT <seconds>
    Added in version 3.19.

    Terminate the operation after a period of inactivity.

HTTP_USERNAME <username>
    Added in version 3.7.

    Username for the download operation if authentication is required.

HTTP_PASSWORD <password>
    Added in version 3.7.

    Password for the download operation if authentication is required.

HTTP_HEADER <header1> [<header2>...]
    Added in version 3.7.

    Provides an arbitrary list of HTTP headers for the download operation. This can be useful for accessing content in systems like AWS, etc.

TLS_VERSION <min>
    Added in version 3.30.

    Specify minimum TLS version for https:// URLs. If this option is not provided, the value of the CMAKE_TLS_VERSION variable or the CMAKE_TLS_VERSION environment variable will be used instead (see file(DOWNLOAD)).

    This option also applies to git clone invocations, although the default behavior is different. If none of the TLS_VERSION option, CMAKE_TLS_VERSION variable, or CMAKE_TLS_VERSION environment variable is specified, the behavior will be determined by git's default or a http.sslVersion git config option the user may have set at a global level.

TLS_VERIFY <bool>
    Specifies whether certificate verification should be performed for https:// URLs. If this option is not provided, the value of the CMAKE_TLS_VERIFY variable or the CMAKE_TLS_VERIFY environment variable will be used instead (see file(DOWNLOAD)). If neither of those is set, certificate verification will not be performed. In situations where URL_HASH cannot be provided, this option can be an alternative verification measure.

    This option also applies to git clone invocations, although the default behavior is different. If none of the TLS_VERIFY option, CMAKE_TLS_VERIFY variable, or CMAKE_TLS_VERIFY environment variable is specified, the behavior will be determined by git's default (true) or a http.sslVerify git config option the user may have set at a global level.

    Changed in version 3.6: Previously this option did not apply to git clone invocations.

    Changed in version 3.30: Previously the CMAKE_TLS_VERIFY environment variable was not checked.

TLS_CAINFO <file>
    Specify a custom certificate authority file to use if TLS_VERIFY is enabled. If this option is not specified, the value of the CMAKE_TLS_CAINFO variable will be used instead (see file(DOWNLOAD))

NETRC <level>
    Added in version 3.11.

    Specify whether the .netrc file is to be used for operation. If this option is not specified, the value of the CMAKE_NETRC variable will be used instead (see file(DOWNLOAD)). Valid levels are:

IGNORED
    The .netrc file is ignored. This is the default.

OPTIONAL
    The .netrc file is optional, and information in the URL is preferred. The file will be scanned to find which ever information is not specified in the URL.

REQUIRED
    The .netrc file is required, and information in the URL is ignored.

NETRC_FILE <file>
    Added in version 3.11.

    Specify an alternative .netrc file to the one in your home directory if the NETRC level is OPTIONAL or REQUIRED. If this option is not specified, the value of the CMAKE_NETRC_FILE variable will be used instead (see file(DOWNLOAD))

    Added in version 3.1: Added support for tbz2, .tar.xz, .txz, and .7z extensions.

  Git

NOTE: A git version of 1.6.5 or later is required if this download method is used.

GIT_REPOSITORY <url>
    URL of the git repository. Any URL understood by the git command may be used.

    Changed in version 3.27: A relative URL will be resolved based on the parent project's remote, subject to CMP0150. See the policy documentation for how the remote is selected, including conditions where the remote selection can fail. Local filesystem remotes should always use absolute paths.

GIT_TAG <tag>
    Git branch name, tag or commit hash. Note that branch names and tags should generally be specified as remote names (i.e. origin/myBranch rather than simply myBranch). This ensures that if the remote end has its tag moved or branch rebased or history rewritten, the local clone will still be updated correctly. In general, however, specifying a commit hash should be preferred for a number of reasons:

•   If the local clone already has the commit corresponding to the hash, no git fetch needs to be performed to check for changes each time CMake is re-run. This can result in a significant speed up if many external projects are being used.

•   Using a specific git hash ensures that the main project's own history is fully traceable to a specific point in the external project's evolution. If a branch or tag name is used instead, then checking out a specific commit of the main project doesn't necessarily pin the whole build to a specific point in the life of the external project. The lack of such deterministic behavior makes the main project lose traceability and repeatability.

    If GIT_SHALLOW is enabled then GIT_TAG works only with branch names and tags. A commit hash is not allowed.

    Note that if not provided, GIT_TAG defaults to master, not the default Git branch name.

GIT_REMOTE_NAME <name>
    The optional name of the remote. If this option is not specified, it defaults to origin.

GIT_SUBMODULES <module>...
    Specific git submodules that should also be updated. If this option is not provided, all git submodules will be updated.

    Changed in version 3.16: When CMP0097 is set to NEW, if this value is set to an empty string then no submodules are initialized or updated.

GIT_SUBMODULES_RECURSE <bool>
    Added in version 3.17.

    Specify whether git submodules (if any) should update recursively by passing the --recursive flag to git submodule update. If not specified, the default is on.

GIT_SHALLOW <bool>
    Added in version 3.6.

    When this option is enabled, the git clone operation will be given the --depth 1 option. This performs a shallow clone, which avoids downloading the whole history and instead retrieves just the commit denoted by the GIT_TAG option.

GIT_PROGRESS <bool>
    Added in version 3.8.

    When enabled, this option instructs the git clone operation to report its progress by passing it the --progress option. Without this option, the clone step for large projects may appear to make the build stall, since nothing will be logged until the clone operation finishes. While this option can be used to provide progress to prevent the appearance of the build having stalled, it may also make the build overly noisy if lots of external projects are used.

GIT_CONFIG <option1> [<option2>...]
    Added in version 3.8.

    Specify a list of config options to pass to git clone. Each option listed will be transformed into its own --config <option> on the git clone command line, with each option required to be in the form key=value.

GIT_REMOTE_UPDATE_STRATEGY <strategy>
    Added in version 3.18.

    When GIT_TAG refers to a remote branch, this option can be used to specify how the update step behaves. The <strategy> must be one of the following:

CHECKOUT
    Ignore the local branch and always checkout the branch specified by GIT_TAG.

REBASE
    Try to rebase the current branch to the one specified by GIT_TAG. If there are local uncommitted changes, they will be stashed first and popped again after rebasing. If rebasing or popping stashed changes fail, abort the rebase and halt with an error. When GIT_REMOTE_UPDATE_STRATEGY is not present, this is the default strategy unless the default has been overridden with CMAKE_EP_GIT_REMOTE_UPDATE_STRATEGY (see below). Note that if the branch specified in GIT_TAG is different to the upstream branch currently being tracked, it is not safe to perform a rebase. In that situation, REBASE will silently be treated as CHECKOUT instead.

REBASE_CHECKOUT
    Same as REBASE except if the rebase fails, an annotated tag will be created at the original HEAD position from before the rebase and then checkout GIT_TAG just like the CHECKOUT strategy. The message stored on the annotated tag will give information about what was attempted and the tag name will include a timestamp so that each failed run will add a new tag. This strategy ensures no changes will be lost, but updates should always succeed if GIT_TAG refers to a valid ref unless there are uncommitted changes that cannot be popped successfully.

    The variable CMAKE_EP_GIT_REMOTE_UPDATE_STRATEGY can be set to override the default strategy. This variable should not be set by a project, it is intended for the user to set. It is primarily intended for use in continuous integration scripts to ensure that when history is rewritten on a remote branch, the build doesn't end up with unintended changes or failed builds resulting from conflicts during rebase operations.

  Subversion

SVN_REPOSITORY <url>
    URL of the Subversion repository.

SVN_REVISION -r<rev>
    Revision to checkout from the Subversion repository.

SVN_USERNAME <username>
    Username for the Subversion checkout and update.

SVN_PASSWORD <password>
    Password for the Subversion checkout and update.

SVN_TRUST_CERT <bool>
    Specifies whether to trust the Subversion server site certificate. If enabled, the --trust-server-cert option is passed to the svn checkout and update commands.

  Mercurial

HG_REPOSITORY <url>
    URL of the mercurial repository.

HG_TAG <tag>
    Mercurial branch name, tag or commit id.

  CVS

CVS_REPOSITORY <cvsroot>
    CVSROOT of the CVS repository.

CVS_MODULE <mod>
    Module to checkout from the CVS repository.

CVS_TAG <tag>
    Tag to checkout from the CVS repository.

  Update Step Options

Whenever CMake is re-run, by default the external project's sources will be updated if the download method supports updates (e.g. a git repository would be checked if the GIT_TAG does not refer to a specific commit).

UPDATE_COMMAND <cmd>...
    Overrides the download method's update step with a custom command. The command may use generator expressions.

UPDATE_DISCONNECTED <bool>
    Added in version 3.2.

    When enabled, this option causes the update step to be skipped (but see below for changed behavior where this is not the case). It does not prevent the download step. The update step can still be added as a step target (see ExternalProject_Add_StepTargets()) and called manually. This is useful if you want to allow developers to build the project when disconnected from the network (the network may still be needed for the download step though).

    Changed in version 3.27: When UPDATE_DISCONNECTED is true, the update step will be executed if any details about the update or download step are changed. Furthermore, if using the git download/update method, the update logic will be modified to skip attempts to contact the remote. If the GIT_TAG mentions a ref that is not known locally, the update step will halt with a fatal error.

    When this option is present, it is generally advisable to make the value a cache variable under the developer's control rather than hard-coding it. If this option is not present, the default value is taken from the EP_UPDATE_DISCONNECTED directory property. If that is also not defined, updates are performed as normal. The EP_UPDATE_DISCONNECTED directory property is intended as a convenience for controlling the UPDATE_DISCONNECTED behavior for an entire section of a project's directory hierarchy and may be a more convenient method of giving developers control over whether or not to perform updates (assuming the project also provides a cache variable or some other convenient method for setting the directory property).

    This may cause a step target to be created automatically for the download step. See policy CMP0114.

  Patch Step Options

PATCH_COMMAND <cmd>...
    Specifies a custom command to patch the sources after an update. By default, no patch command is defined. Note that it can be quite difficult to define an appropriate patch command that performs robustly, especially for download methods such as git where changing the GIT_TAG will not discard changes from a previous patch, but the patch command will be called again after updating to the new tag.

  Configure Step Options

The configure step is run after the download and update steps. By default, the external project is assumed to be a CMake project, but this can be overridden if required.

CONFIGURE_COMMAND <cmd>...
    The default configure command runs CMake with a few options based on the main project. The options added are typically only those needed to use the same generator as the main project, but the CMAKE_GENERATOR option can be given to override this. The project is responsible for adding any toolchain details, flags or other settings it wants to reuse from the main project or otherwise specify (see CMAKE_ARGS, CMAKE_CACHE_ARGS and CMAKE_CACHE_DEFAULT_ARGS below).

    For non-CMake external projects, the CONFIGURE_COMMAND option must be used to override the default configure command (generator expressions are supported). For projects that require no configure step, specify this option with an empty string as the command to execute.

CMAKE_COMMAND /.../cmake
    Specify an alternative cmake executable for the configure step (use an absolute path). This is generally not recommended, since it is usually desirable to use the same CMake version throughout the whole build. This option is ignored if a custom configure command has been specified with CONFIGURE_COMMAND.

CMAKE_GENERATOR <gen>
    Override the CMake generator used for the configure step. Without this option, the same generator as the main build will be used. This option is ignored if a custom configure command has been specified with the CONFIGURE_COMMAND option.

CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM <platform>
    Added in version 3.1.

    Pass a generator-specific platform name to the CMake command (see CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM). It is an error to provide this option without the CMAKE_GENERATOR option.

CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET <toolset>
    Pass a generator-specific toolset name to the CMake command (see CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET). It is an error to provide this option without the CMAKE_GENERATOR option.

CMAKE_GENERATOR_INSTANCE <instance>
    Added in version 3.11.

    Pass a generator-specific instance selection to the CMake command (see CMAKE_GENERATOR_INSTANCE). It is an error to provide this option without the CMAKE_GENERATOR option.

CMAKE_ARGS <arg>...
    The specified arguments are passed to the cmake command line. They can be any argument the cmake command understands, not just cache values defined by -D... arguments (see also CMake Options).

    Added in version 3.3: Arguments may use generator expressions.

CMAKE_CACHE_ARGS <arg>...
    This is an alternate way of specifying cache variables where command line length issues may become a problem. The arguments are expected to be in the form -Dvar:STRING=value, which are then transformed into CMake set() commands with the FORCE option used. These set() commands are written to a pre-load script which is then applied using the cmake -C command line option.

    Added in version 3.3: Arguments may use generator expressions.

CMAKE_CACHE_DEFAULT_ARGS <arg>...
    Added in version 3.2.

    This is the same as the CMAKE_CACHE_ARGS option except the set() commands do not include the FORCE keyword. This means the values act as initial defaults only and will not override any variables already set from a previous run. Use this option with care, as it can lead to different behavior depending on whether the build starts from a fresh build directory or reuses previous build contents.

    Added in version 3.15: If the CMake generator is the Green Hills MULTI and not overridden, the original project's settings for the GHS toolset and target system customization cache variables are propagated into the external project.

SOURCE_SUBDIR <dir>
    Added in version 3.7.

    When no CONFIGURE_COMMAND option is specified, the configure step assumes the external project has a CMakeLists.txt file at the top of its source tree (i.e. in SOURCE_DIR). The SOURCE_SUBDIR option can be used to point to an alternative directory within the source tree to use as the top of the CMake source tree instead. This must be a relative path and it will be interpreted as being relative to SOURCE_DIR.

    Added in version 3.14: When BUILD_IN_SOURCE option is enabled, the BUILD_COMMAND is used to point to an alternative directory within the source tree.

CONFIGURE_HANDLED_BY_BUILD <bool>
    Added in version 3.20.

    Enabling this option relaxes the dependencies of the configure step on other external projects to order-only. This means the configure step will be executed after its external project dependencies are built but it will not be marked dirty when one of its external project dependencies is rebuilt. This option can be enabled when the build step is smart enough to figure out if the configure step needs to be rerun. CMake and Meson are examples of build systems whose build step is smart enough to know if the configure step needs to be rerun.

  Build Step Options

If the configure step assumed the external project uses CMake as its build system, the build step will also. Otherwise, the build step will assume a Makefile-based build and simply run make with no arguments as the default build step. This can be overridden with custom build commands if required.

If both the main project and the external project use make as their build tool, the build step of the external project is invoked as a recursive make using $(MAKE). This will communicate some build tool settings from the main project to the external project. If either the main project or external project is not using make, no build tool settings will be passed to the external project other than those established by the configure step (i.e. running ninja -v in the main project will not pass -v to the external project's build step, even if it also uses ninja as its build tool).

BUILD_COMMAND <cmd>...
    Overrides the default build command (generator expressions are supported). If this option is not given, the default build command will be chosen to integrate with the main build in the most appropriate way (e.g. using recursive make for Makefile generators or cmake --build if the project uses a CMake build). This option can be specified with an empty string as the command to make the build step do nothing.

BUILD_IN_SOURCE <bool>
    When this option is enabled, the build will be done directly within the external project's source tree. This should generally be avoided, the use of a separate build directory is usually preferred, but it can be useful when the external project assumes an in-source build. The BINARY_DIR option should not be specified if building in-source.

BUILD_ALWAYS <bool>
    Enabling this option forces the build step to always be run. This can be the easiest way to robustly ensure that the external project's own build dependencies are evaluated rather than relying on the default success timestamp-based method. This option is not normally needed unless developers are expected to modify something the external project's build depends on in a way that is not detectable via the step target dependencies (e.g. SOURCE_DIR is used without a download method and developers might modify the sources in SOURCE_DIR).

BUILD_BYPRODUCTS <file>...
    Added in version 3.2.

    Specifies files that will be generated by the build command but which might or might not have their modification time updated by subsequent builds. This may also be required to explicitly declare dependencies when using the Ninja generator. These ultimately get passed through as BYPRODUCTS to the build step's own underlying call to add_custom_command(), which has additional documentation.

BUILD_JOB_SERVER_AWARE <bool>
    Added in version 3.28.

    Specifies that the build step is aware of the GNU Make job server. See the add_custom_command() documentation of its JOB_SERVER_AWARE option for details. This option is relevant only when an explicit BUILD_COMMAND is specified.

  Install Step Options

If the configure step assumed the external project uses CMake as its build system, the install step will also. Otherwise, the install step will assume a Makefile-based build and simply run make install as the default build step. This can be overridden with custom install commands if required.

INSTALL_COMMAND <cmd>...
    The external project's own install step is invoked as part of the main project's build. It is done after the external project's build step and may be before or after the external project's test step (see the TEST_BEFORE_INSTALL option below). The external project's install rules are not part of the main project's install rules, so if anything from the external project should be installed as part of the main build, these need to be specified in the main build as additional install() commands. The default install step builds the install target of the external project, but this can be overridden with a custom command using this option (generator expressions are supported). Passing an empty string as the <cmd> makes the install step do nothing.

INSTALL_BYPRODUCTS <file>...
    Added in version 3.26.

    Specifies files that will be generated by the install command but which might or might not have their modification time updated by subsequent installs. This may also be required to explicitly declare dependencies when using the Ninja generator. These ultimately get passed through as BYPRODUCTS to the install step's own underlying call to add_custom_command(), which has additional documentation.

INSTALL_JOB_SERVER_AWARE <bool>
    Added in version 4.0.

    Specifies that the install step is aware of the GNU Make job server. See the add_custom_command() documentation of its JOB_SERVER_AWARE option for details. This option is relevant only when an explicit INSTALL_COMMAND is specified.

    NOTE: If the CMAKE_INSTALL_MODE environment variable is set when the main project is built, it will only have an effect if the following conditions are met:

•   The main project's configure step assumed the external project uses CMake as its build system.

•   The external project's install command actually runs. Note that due to the way ExternalProject may use timestamps internally, if nothing the install step depends on needs to be re-executed, the install command might also not need to run.

    Note also that ExternalProject does not check whether the CMAKE_INSTALL_MODE environment variable changes from one run to another.

  Test Step Options

The test step is only defined if at least one of the following TEST_... options are provided.

TEST_COMMAND <cmd>...
    Overrides the default test command (generator expressions are supported). If this option is not given, the default behavior of the test step is to build the external project's own test target. This option can be specified with <cmd> as an empty string, which allows the test step to still be defined, but it will do nothing. Do not specify any of the other TEST_... options if providing an empty string as the test command, but prefer to omit all TEST_... options altogether if the test step target is not needed.

TEST_BEFORE_INSTALL <bool>
    When this option is enabled, the test step will be executed before the install step. The default behavior is for the test step to run after the install step.

TEST_AFTER_INSTALL <bool>
    This option is mainly useful as a way to indicate that the test step is desired but all default behavior is sufficient. Specifying this option with a boolean true value ensures the test step is defined and that it comes after the install step. If both TEST_BEFORE_INSTALL and TEST_AFTER_INSTALL are enabled, the latter is silently ignored.

TEST_EXCLUDE_FROM_MAIN <bool>
    Added in version 3.2.

    If enabled, the main build's default ALL target will not depend on the test step. This can be a useful way of ensuring the test step is defined but only gets invoked when manually requested. This may cause a step target to be created automatically for either the install or build step. See policy CMP0114.

  Output Logging Options

Each of the following LOG_... options can be used to wrap the relevant step in a script to capture its output to files. The log files will be created in LOG_DIR if supplied or otherwise the STAMP_DIR directory with step-specific file names.

LOG_DOWNLOAD <bool>
    When enabled, the output of the download step is logged to files.

LOG_UPDATE <bool>
    When enabled, the output of the update step is logged to files.

LOG_PATCH <bool>
    Added in version 3.14.

    When enabled, the output of the patch step is logged to files.

LOG_CONFIGURE <bool>
    When enabled, the output of the configure step is logged to files.

LOG_BUILD <bool>
    When enabled, the output of the build step is logged to files.

LOG_INSTALL <bool>
    When enabled, the output of the install step is logged to files.

LOG_TEST <bool>
    When enabled, the output of the test step is logged to files.

LOG_MERGED_STDOUTERR <bool>
    Added in version 3.14.

    When enabled, stdout and stderr will be merged for any step whose output is being logged to files.

LOG_OUTPUT_ON_FAILURE <bool>
    Added in version 3.14.

    This option only has an effect if at least one of the other LOG_<step> options is enabled. If an error occurs for a step which has logging to file enabled, that step's output will be printed to the console if LOG_OUTPUT_ON_FAILURE is set to true. For cases where a large amount of output is recorded, just the end of that output may be printed to the console.

  Terminal Access Options

Added in version 3.4.

Steps can be given direct access to the terminal in some cases. Giving a step access to the terminal may allow it to receive terminal input if required, such as for authentication details not provided by other options. With the Ninja generator, these options place the steps in the console job pool. Each step can be given access to the terminal individually via the following options:

USES_TERMINAL_DOWNLOAD <bool>
    Give the download step access to the terminal.

USES_TERMINAL_UPDATE <bool>
    Give the update step access to the terminal.

USES_TERMINAL_PATCH <bool>
    Added in version 3.23.

    Give the patch step access to the terminal.

USES_TERMINAL_CONFIGURE <bool>
    Give the configure step access to the terminal.

USES_TERMINAL_BUILD <bool>
    Give the build step access to the terminal.

USES_TERMINAL_INSTALL <bool>
    Give the install step access to the terminal.

USES_TERMINAL_TEST <bool>
    Give the test step access to the terminal.

  Target Options

DEPENDS <targets>...
    Specify other targets on which the external project depends. The other targets will be brought up to date before any of the external project's steps are executed. Because the external project uses additional custom targets internally for each step, the DEPENDS option is the most convenient way to ensure all of those steps depend on the other targets. Simply doing add_dependencies(<name> <targets>) will not make any of the steps dependent on <targets>.

EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL <bool>
    When enabled, this option excludes the external project from the default ALL target of the main build.

STEP_TARGETS <step-target>...
    Generate custom targets for the specified steps. This is required if the steps need to be triggered manually or if they need to be used as dependencies of other targets. If this option is not specified, the default value is taken from the EP_STEP_TARGETS directory property. See ExternalProject_Add_StepTargets() below for further discussion of the effects of this option.

INDEPENDENT_STEP_TARGETS <step-target>...
    Deprecated since version 3.19: This is allowed only if policy CMP0114 is not set to NEW.

    Generates custom targets for the specified steps and prevent these targets from having the usual dependencies applied to them. If this option is not specified, the default value is taken from the EP_INDEPENDENT_STEP_TARGETS directory property. This option is mostly useful for allowing individual steps to be driven independently, such as for a CDash setup where each step should be initiated and reported individually rather than as one whole build. See ExternalProject_Add_StepTargets() below for further discussion of the effects of this option.

  Miscellaneous Options

LIST_SEPARATOR <sep>
    For any of the various ..._COMMAND options, and CMAKE_ARGS, ExternalProject will replace <sep> with ; in the specified command lines. This can be used to ensure a command has a literal ; in it where direct usage would otherwise be interpreted as argument separators to CMake APIs instead. Note that the separator should be chosen to avoid being confused for non-list-separator usages of the sequence. For example, using LIST_SEPARATOR allows for passing list values to CMake cache variables on the command line:

        ExternalProject_Add(example
          ... # Download options, etc.
          LIST_SEPARATOR ","
          CMAKE_ARGS "-DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH:STRING=${first_prefix},${second_prefix}"
        )

COMMAND <cmd>...
    Any of the other ..._COMMAND options can have additional commands appended to them by following them with as many COMMAND ... options as needed (generator expressions are supported). For example:

        ExternalProject_Add(example
          ... # Download options, etc.
          BUILD_COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E echo "Starting $<CONFIG> build"
          COMMAND       ${CMAKE_COMMAND} --build <BINARY_DIR> --config $<CONFIG>
          COMMAND       ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E echo "$<CONFIG> build complete"
        )

    It should also be noted that each build step is created via a call to ExternalProject_Add_Step(). See that command's documentation for the automatic substitutions that are supported for some options.

  Obtaining Project Properties

ExternalProject_Get_Property
    The ExternalProject_Get_Property() function retrieves external project target properties:

        ExternalProject_Get_Property(<name> <prop1> [<prop2>...])

    The function stores property values in variables of the same name. Property names correspond to the keyword argument names of ExternalProject_Add(). For example, the source directory might be retrieved like so:

        ExternalProject_Get_property(myExtProj SOURCE_DIR)
        message("Source dir of myExtProj = ${SOURCE_DIR}")

  Explicit Step Management

The ExternalProject_Add() function on its own is often sufficient for incorporating an external project into the main build. Certain scenarios require additional work to implement desired behavior, such as adding in a custom step or making steps available as manually triggerable targets. The ExternalProject_Add_Step(), ExternalProject_Add_StepTargets() and ExternalProject_Add_StepDependencies functions provide the lower level control needed to implement such step-level capabilities.

ExternalProject_Add_Step
    The ExternalProject_Add_Step() function specifies an additional custom step for an external project defined by an earlier call to ExternalProject_Add():

        ExternalProject_Add_Step(<name> <step> [<option>...])

    <name> is the same as the name passed to the original call to ExternalProject_Add(). The specified <step> must not be one of the pre-defined steps (mkdir, download, update, patch, configure, build, install or test). The supported options are:

COMMAND <cmd>...
    The command line to be executed by this custom step (generator expressions are supported). This option can be repeated multiple times to specify multiple commands to be executed in order.

COMMENT "<text>..."
    Text to be printed when the custom step executes.

DEPENDEES <step>...
    Other steps (custom or pre-defined) on which this step depends.

DEPENDERS <step>...
    Other steps (custom or pre-defined) that depend on this new custom step.

DEPENDS <file>...
    Files on which this custom step depends.

INDEPENDENT <bool>
    Added in version 3.19.

    Specifies whether this step is independent of the external dependencies specified by the ExternalProject_Add()'s DEPENDS option. The default is FALSE. Steps marked as independent may depend only on other steps marked independent. See policy CMP0114.

    Note that this use of the term "independent" refers only to independence from external targets specified by the DEPENDS option and is orthogonal to a step's dependencies on other steps.

    If a step target is created for an independent step by the ExternalProject_Add() STEP_TARGETS option or by the ExternalProject_Add_StepTargets() function, it will not depend on the external targets, but may depend on targets for other steps.

BYPRODUCTS <file>...
    Added in version 3.2.

    Files that will be generated by this custom step but which might or might not have their modification time updated by subsequent builds. This may also be required to explicitly declare dependencies when using the Ninja generator. This list of files will ultimately be passed through as the BYPRODUCTS option to the add_custom_command() used to implement the custom step internally, which has additional documentation.

ALWAYS <bool>
    When enabled, this option specifies that the custom step should always be run (i.e. that it is always considered out of date).

JOB_SERVER_AWARE <bool>
    Added in version 3.28.

    Specifies that the custom step is aware of the GNU Make job server. See the add_custom_command() documentation of its JOB_SERVER_AWARE option for details.

EXCLUDE_FROM_MAIN <bool>
    When enabled, this option specifies that the external project's main target does not depend on the custom step. This may cause step targets to be created automatically for the steps on which this step depends. See policy CMP0114.

WORKING_DIRECTORY <dir>
    Specifies the working directory to set before running the custom step's command. If this option is not specified, the directory will be the value of the CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR at the point where ExternalProject_Add_Step() was called.

LOG <bool>
    If set, this causes the output from the custom step to be captured to files in the external project's LOG_DIR if supplied or STAMP_DIR.

USES_TERMINAL <bool>
    If enabled, this gives the custom step direct access to the terminal if possible.

    The command line, comment, working directory and byproducts of every standard and custom step are processed to replace the tokens <SOURCE_DIR>, <SOURCE_SUBDIR>, <BINARY_DIR>, <INSTALL_DIR> <TMP_DIR>, <DOWNLOAD_DIR> and <DOWNLOADED_FILE> with their corresponding property values defined in the original call to ExternalProject_Add().

    Added in version 3.3: Token replacement is extended to byproducts.

    Added in version 3.11: The <DOWNLOAD_DIR> substitution token.

ExternalProject_Add_StepTargets
    The ExternalProject_Add_StepTargets() function generates targets for the steps listed. The name of each created target will be of the form <name>-<step>:

        ExternalProject_Add_StepTargets(<name> <step1> [<step2>...])

    Creating a target for a step allows it to be used as a dependency of another target or to be triggered manually. Having targets for specific steps also allows them to be driven independently of each other by specifying targets on build command lines. For example, you may be submitting to a sub-project based dashboard where you want to drive the configure portion of the build, then submit to the dashboard, followed by the build portion, followed by tests. If you invoke a custom target that depends on a step halfway through the step dependency chain, then all the previous steps will also run to ensure everything is up to date.

    Internally, ExternalProject_Add() calls ExternalProject_Add_Step() to create each step. If any STEP_TARGETS were specified, then ExternalProject_Add_StepTargets() will also be called after ExternalProject_Add_Step(). Even if a step is not mentioned in the STEP_TARGETS option, ExternalProject_Add_StepTargets() can still be called later to manually define a target for the step.

    The STEP_TARGETS option for ExternalProject_Add() is generally the easiest way to ensure targets are created for specific steps of interest. For custom steps, ExternalProject_Add_StepTargets() must be called explicitly if a target should also be created for that custom step. An alternative to these two options is to populate the EP_STEP_TARGETS directory property. It acts as a default for the step target options and can save having to repeatedly specify the same set of step targets when multiple external projects are being defined.

    Added in version 3.19: If CMP0114 is set to NEW, step targets are fully responsible for holding the custom commands implementing their steps. The primary target created by ExternalProject_Add depends on the step targets, and the step targets depend on each other. The target-level dependencies match the file-level dependencies used by the custom commands for each step. The targets for steps created with ExternalProject_Add_Step()'s INDEPENDENT option do not depend on the external targets specified by ExternalProject_Add()'s DEPENDS option. The predefined steps mkdir, download, update, and patch are independent.

    If CMP0114 is not NEW, the following deprecated behavior is available:

•   A deprecated NO_DEPENDS option may be specified immediately after the <name> and before the first step. If the NO_DEPENDS option is specified, the step target will not depend on the dependencies of the external project (i.e. on any dependencies of the <name> custom target created by ExternalProject_Add()). This is usually safe for the download, update and patch steps, since they do not typically require that the dependencies are updated and built. Using NO_DEPENDS for any of the other pre-defined steps, however, may break parallel builds. Only use NO_DEPENDS where it is certain that the named steps genuinely do not have dependencies. For custom steps, consider whether or not the custom commands require the dependencies to be configured, built and installed.

•   The INDEPENDENT_STEP_TARGETS option for ExternalProject_Add(), or the EP_INDEPENDENT_STEP_TARGETS directory property, tells the function to call ExternalProject_Add_StepTargets() internally using the NO_DEPENDS option for the specified steps.

ExternalProject_Add_StepDependencies
    Added in version 3.2.

    The ExternalProject_Add_StepDependencies() function can be used to add dependencies to a step. The dependencies added must be targets CMake already knows about (these can be ordinary executable or library targets, custom targets or even step targets of another external project):

        ExternalProject_Add_StepDependencies(<name> <step> <target1> [<target2>...])

    This function takes care to set both target and file level dependencies and will ensure that parallel builds will not break. It should be used instead of add_dependencies() whenever adding a dependency for some of the step targets generated by the ExternalProject module.

  Examples

The following example shows how to download and build a hypothetical project called FooBar from github:

    include(ExternalProject)
    ExternalProject_Add(foobar
      GIT_REPOSITORY    git@github.com:FooCo/FooBar.git
      GIT_TAG           origin/release/1.2.3
    )

For the sake of the example, also define a second hypothetical external project called SecretSauce, which is downloaded from a web server. Two URLs are given to take advantage of a faster internal network if available, with a fallback to a slower external server. The project is a typical Makefile project with no configure step, so some of the default commands are overridden. The build is only required to build the sauce target:

    find_program(MAKE_EXE NAMES gmake nmake make)
    ExternalProject_Add(secretsauce
      URL               http://intranet.somecompany.com/artifacts/sauce-2.7.tgz
                        https://www.somecompany.com/downloads/sauce-2.7.zip
      URL_HASH          MD5=d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e
      CONFIGURE_COMMAND ""
      BUILD_COMMAND     ${MAKE_EXE} sauce
    )

Suppose the build step of secretsauce requires that foobar must already be built. This could be enforced like so:

    ExternalProject_Add_StepDependencies(secretsauce build foobar)

Another alternative would be to create a custom target for foobar's build step and make secretsauce depend on that rather than the whole foobar project. This would mean foobar only needs to be built, it doesn't need to run its install or test steps before secretsauce can be built. The dependency can also be defined along with the secretsauce project:

    ExternalProject_Add_StepTargets(foobar build)
    ExternalProject_Add(secretsauce
      URL               http://intranet.somecompany.com/artifacts/sauce-2.7.tgz
                        https://www.somecompany.com/downloads/sauce-2.7.zip
      URL_HASH          MD5=d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e
      CONFIGURE_COMMAND ""
      BUILD_COMMAND     ${MAKE_EXE} sauce
      DEPENDS           foobar-build
    )

Instead of calling ExternalProject_Add_StepTargets(), the target could be defined along with the foobar project itself:

    ExternalProject_Add(foobar
      GIT_REPOSITORY git@github.com:FooCo/FooBar.git
      GIT_TAG        origin/release/1.2.3
      STEP_TARGETS   build
    )

If many external projects should have the same set of step targets, setting a directory property may be more convenient. The build step target could be created automatically by setting the EP_STEP_TARGETS directory property before creating the external projects with ExternalProject_Add():

    set_property(DIRECTORY PROPERTY EP_STEP_TARGETS build)

Lastly, suppose that secretsauce provides a script called makedoc which can be used to generate its own documentation. Further suppose that the script expects the output directory to be provided as the only parameter and that it should be run from the secretsauce source directory. A custom step and a custom target to trigger the script can be defined like so:

    ExternalProject_Add_Step(secretsauce docs
      COMMAND           <SOURCE_DIR>/makedoc <BINARY_DIR>
      WORKING_DIRECTORY <SOURCE_DIR>
      COMMENT           "Building secretsauce docs"
      ALWAYS            TRUE
      EXCLUDE_FROM_MAIN TRUE
    )
    ExternalProject_Add_StepTargets(secretsauce docs)

The custom step could then be triggered from the main build like so:

    cmake --build . --target secretsauce-docs

  FeatureSummary

Functions for generating a summary of enabled/disabled features.

These functions can be used to generate a summary of enabled and disabled packages and/or features for a build tree such as:

    -- The following features have been enabled:
     * Example, usage example
    -- The following OPTIONAL packages have been found:
     * LibXml2 (required version >= 2.4), XML library, <http://xmlsoft.org>
       Enables HTML-import in MyWordProcessor
       Enables odt-export in MyWordProcessor
     * PNG, image library, <http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/>
       Enables saving screenshots
    -- The following OPTIONAL packages have not been found:
     * Lua, the Lua scripting language, <https://www.lua.org>
       Enables macros in MyWordProcessor
     * OpenGL, Open Graphics Library

  Global Properties

FeatureSummary_PKG_TYPES
    Added in version 3.8.

    This global property defines a semicolon-separated list of package types used by the FeatureSummary module.

    The order in this list is important, the first package type in the list has the lowest importance, while the last has the highest importance. The type of a package can only be changed to a type with higher importance.

    The default package types are RUNTIME, OPTIONAL, RECOMMENDED and REQUIRED, with their importance ranked as RUNTIME < OPTIONAL < RECOMMENDED < REQUIRED.

FeatureSummary_REQUIRED_PKG_TYPES
    Added in version 3.8.

    This global property defines a semicolon-separated list of package types that are considered required.

    If one or more packages in these categories are not found, CMake will abort when the feature_summary() command is called with the FATAL_ON_MISSING_REQUIRED_PACKAGES option enabled.

    The default value for this global property is REQUIRED.

FeatureSummary_DEFAULT_PKG_TYPE
    Added in version 3.8.

    This global property defines the default package type.

    When the feature_summary() command is called, and the user has not explicitly set a type of some package, its type will be set to this value.

    This value must be one of the types defined in the FeatureSummary_PKG_TYPES global property.

    The default value for this global property is OPTIONAL.

FeatureSummary_<TYPE>_DESCRIPTION
    Added in version 3.9.

    This global property can be defined for each package <TYPE> to a string that will be used in the output titles of the feature_summary() command. For example:

        The following <FeatureSummary_<TYPE>_DESCRIPTION> have been found:

    If not set, default string <TYPE> packages is used.

  Functions

feature_summary

        feature_summary([FILENAME <file>]
                        [APPEND]
                        [VAR <variable_name>]
                        [INCLUDE_QUIET_PACKAGES]
                        [FATAL_ON_MISSING_REQUIRED_PACKAGES]
                        [DESCRIPTION <description> | DEFAULT_DESCRIPTION]
                        [QUIET_ON_EMPTY]
                        WHAT (ALL
                             | PACKAGES_FOUND | PACKAGES_NOT_FOUND
                             | <TYPE>_PACKAGES_FOUND | <TYPE>_PACKAGES_NOT_FOUND
                             | ENABLED_FEATURES | DISABLED_FEATURES)
                       )

    This function can be used to print information about enabled or disabled packages and features of a project. By default, only the names of the features/packages will be printed and their required version when one was specified. Use set_package_properties() to add more useful information, like e.g. a homepage URL for the respective package or their purpose in the project.

    The options are:

WHAT
    This is the only mandatory option. It specifies what information will be printed:

ALL Print everything.

ENABLED_FEATURES
    The list of all features which are enabled.

DISABLED_FEATURES
    The list of all features which are disabled.

PACKAGES_FOUND
    The list of all packages which have been found.

PACKAGES_NOT_FOUND
    The list of all packages which have not been found.

    For each package type <TYPE> defined by the FeatureSummary_PKG_TYPES global property, the following information can also be used:

<TYPE>_PACKAGES_FOUND
    The list of only packages of type <TYPE> which have been found.

<TYPE>_PACKAGES_NOT_FOUND
    The list of only packages of type <TYPE> which have not been found.

    Changed in version 3.1: The WHAT option is now a multi-value keyword, so that these values can be combined, with the exception of the ALL value, in order to customize the output. For example:

        feature_summary(WHAT ENABLED_FEATURES DISABLED_FEATURES)

FILENAME <file>
    If this option is given, the information is printed into this file instead of the terminal. Relative <file> path is interpreted as being relative to the current source directory (i.e. CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR).

APPEND
    If this option is given, the output is appended to the <file> provided by the FILENAME option, otherwise the file is overwritten if it already exists.

VAR <variable_name>
    If this option is given, the information is stored into the specified variable <variable_name> instead of the terminal.

DESCRIPTION <description>
    A description or headline which will be printed above the actual content. Without this option, if only one package type was requested, no title is printed, unless a custom string is explicitly set using this option or DEFAULT_DESCRIPTION option is used that outputs a default title for the requested type.

DEFAULT_DESCRIPTION
    Added in version 3.9.

    The default description or headline to be printed above the content as opposed to the customizable DESCRIPTION <description>.

INCLUDE_QUIET_PACKAGES
    If this option is given, packages which have been searched with find_package(... QUIET) will also be listed. By default they are skipped.

FATAL_ON_MISSING_REQUIRED_PACKAGES
    If this option is given, CMake will abort with fatal error if a package which is marked as one of the package types listed in the FeatureSummary_REQUIRED_PKG_TYPES global property has not been found.

    The FeatureSummary_DEFAULT_PKG_TYPE global property can be modified to change the default package type assigned when not explicitly assigned by the user.

QUIET_ON_EMPTY
    Added in version 3.8.

    If this option is given, when only one package type was requested, and no packages belonging to that category were found, then no output (including the DESCRIPTION) is printed nor added to the FILENAME, or the VAR variable.

    Example 1, append everything to a file:

        include(FeatureSummary)
        feature_summary(WHAT ALL
                        FILENAME ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/all.log APPEND)

    Example 2, print the enabled features into the variable enabledFeaturesText, including the QUIET packages:

        include(FeatureSummary)
        feature_summary(WHAT ENABLED_FEATURES
                       INCLUDE_QUIET_PACKAGES
                       DESCRIPTION "Enabled Features:"
                       VAR enabledFeaturesText)
        message(STATUS "${enabledFeaturesText}")

    Example 3, add custom package type and print only the categories that are not empty:

        include(FeatureSummary)
        set_property(GLOBAL APPEND PROPERTY FeatureSummary_PKG_TYPES BUILD)
        find_package(FOO)
        set_package_properties(FOO PROPERTIES TYPE BUILD)
        feature_summary(WHAT BUILD_PACKAGES_FOUND
                        DESCRIPTION "Build tools found:"
                        QUIET_ON_EMPTY)
        feature_summary(WHAT BUILD_PACKAGES_NOT_FOUND
                        DESCRIPTION "Build tools not found:"
                        QUIET_ON_EMPTY)

set_package_properties

        set_package_properties(<name> PROPERTIES
                               [URL <url>]
                               [DESCRIPTION <description>]
                               [TYPE (RUNTIME|OPTIONAL|RECOMMENDED|REQUIRED)]
                               [PURPOSE <purpose>]
                              )

    Use this function to configure and provide information about the package named <name>, which can then be displayed using the feature_summary() command. This can be performed either directly within the corresponding Find module or in the project that uses the module after invoking the find_package() call. The features for which information can be set are determined automatically after the find_package() command.

URL <url>
    This should be the homepage of the package, or something similar. Ideally this is set already directly in the Find module.

DESCRIPTION <description>
    A short description what that package is, at most one sentence. Ideally this is set already directly in the Find module.

TYPE <type>
    What type of dependency has the using project on that package. Default is OPTIONAL. In this case it is a package which can be used by the project when available at buildtime, but it also work without. RECOMMENDED is similar to OPTIONAL, i.e. the project will build if the package is not present, but the functionality of the resulting binaries will be severely limited. If a REQUIRED package is not available at buildtime, the project may not even build. This can be combined with the feature_summary(FATAL_ON_MISSING_REQUIRED_PACKAGES) command option. Last, a RUNTIME package is a package which is actually not used at all during the build, but which is required for actually running the resulting binaries. So if such a package is missing, the project can still be built, but it may not work later on. If set_package_properties() is called multiple times for the same package with different TYPEs, the TYPE is only changed to higher TYPEs (RUNTIME < OPTIONAL < RECOMMENDED < REQUIRED), lower TYPEs are ignored. The TYPE property is project-specific, so it cannot be set by the Find module, but must be set in the project. The accepted types can be changed by setting the FeatureSummary_PKG_TYPES global property.

PURPOSE <purpose>
    This describes which features this package enables in the project, i.e. it tells the user what functionality they get in the resulting binaries. If set_package_properties() is called multiple times for a package, all PURPOSE properties are appended to a list of purposes of the package in the project. As the TYPE property, also the PURPOSE property is project-specific, so it cannot be set by the Find module, but must be set in the project.

    Example for setting the info for a package:

        include(FeatureSummary)
        find_package(LibXml2)
        set_package_properties(LibXml2 PROPERTIES
                               DESCRIPTION "XML library"
                               URL "http://xmlsoft.org")
        # or
        set_package_properties(LibXml2 PROPERTIES
                               TYPE RECOMMENDED
                               PURPOSE "Enables HTML-import in MyWordProcessor")
        # or
        set_package_properties(LibXml2 PROPERTIES
                               TYPE OPTIONAL
                               PURPOSE "Enables odt-export in MyWordProcessor")
        find_package(DBUS)
        set_package_properties(DBUS PROPERTIES
          TYPE RUNTIME
          PURPOSE "Necessary to disable the screensaver during a presentation")

add_feature_info

        add_feature_info(<name> <enabled> <description>)

    Use this function to add information about a feature identified with a given <name>. The <enabled> contains whether this feature is enabled or not. It can be a variable or a list of conditions. <description> is a text describing the feature. The information can be displayed using feature_summary() for ENABLED_FEATURES and DISABLED_FEATURES respectively.

    Changed in version 3.8: <enabled> can be a list of conditions.

    Changed in version 4.0: Full Condition Syntax is now supported for <enabled>. See policy CMP0183.

    Example for setting the info for a feature:

        include(FeatureSummary)
        option(WITH_FOO "Help for foo" ON)
        add_feature_info(Foo WITH_FOO "this feature provides very cool stuff")

    Example for setting feature info based on a list of conditions:

        option(WITH_FOO "Help for foo" ON)
        option(WITH_BAR "Help for bar" OFF)
        add_feature_info(
          FooBar
          "WITH_FOO;NOT WITH_BAR"
          "this feature is enabled when WITH_FOO is ON and WITH_BAR turned OFF"
        )

    Example for setting feature info depending on a full condition syntax:

    Unlike semicolon-separated list of conditions, this enables using entire condition syntax as being the if clause argument, such as grouping conditions with parens and similar.

        option(WITH_FOO "Help for foo" ON)
        option(WITH_BAR "Help for bar" ON)
        option(WITH_BAZ "Help for baz" OFF)
        add_feature_info(
          FooBarBaz
          "WITH_FOO AND (WITH_BAR OR WITH_BAZ)"
          "this feature is enabled when the entire condition is true"
        )

  Deprecated Functions

The following legacy and deprecated functions are provided for backward compatibility with previous CMake versions:

set_package_info
    Deprecated since version 3.8.

        set_package_info(<name> <description> [ <url> [<purpose>] ])

    Set up information about the package <name>, which can then be displayed via feature_summary(). This can be done either directly in the Find module or in the project which uses the FeatureSummary module after the find_package() call. The features for which information can be set are added automatically by the find_package() command.

    This function is deprecated. Use the set_package_properties(), and add_feature_info() functions instead.

set_feature_info
    Deprecated since version 3.8.

        set_feature_info(<name> <description> [<url>])

    Does the same as:

        set_package_info(<name> <description> [<url>])

print_enabled_features
    Deprecated since version 3.8.

        print_enabled_features()

    Does the same as:

        feature_summary(WHAT ENABLED_FEATURES DESCRIPTION "Enabled features:")

print_disabled_features
    Deprecated since version 3.8.

        print_disabled_features()

    Does the same as:

        feature_summary(WHAT DISABLED_FEATURES DESCRIPTION "Disabled features:")

  FetchContent

Added in version 3.11.

NOTE: The Using Dependencies Guide provides a high-level introduction to this general topic. It provides a broader overview of where the FetchContent module fits into the bigger picture, including its relationship to the find_package() command. The guide is recommended pre-reading before moving on to the details below.

  Overview

This module enables populating content at configure time via any method supported by the ExternalProject module. Whereas ExternalProject_Add() downloads at build time, the FetchContent module makes content available immediately, allowing the configure step to use the content in commands like add_subdirectory(), include() or file() operations.

Content population details should be defined separately from the command that performs the actual population. This separation ensures that all the dependency details are defined before anything might try to use them to populate content. This is particularly important in more complex project hierarchies where dependencies may be shared between multiple projects.

The following shows a typical example of declaring content details for some dependencies and then ensuring they are populated with a separate call:

    FetchContent_Declare(
      googletest
      GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/google/googletest.git
      GIT_TAG        703bd9caab50b139428cea1aaff9974ebee5742e # release-1.10.0
    )
    FetchContent_Declare(
      myCompanyIcons
      URL      https://intranet.mycompany.com/assets/iconset_1.12.tar.gz
      URL_HASH MD5=5588a7b18261c20068beabfb4f530b87
    )
    FetchContent_MakeAvailable(googletest myCompanyIcons)

The FetchContent_MakeAvailable() command ensures the named dependencies have been populated, either by an earlier call, or by populating them itself. When performing the population, it will also add them to the main build, if possible, so that the main build can use the populated projects' targets, etc. See the command's documentation for how these steps are performed.

When using a hierarchical project arrangement, projects at higher levels in the hierarchy are able to override the declared details of content specified anywhere lower in the project hierarchy. The first details to be declared for a given dependency take precedence, regardless of where in the project hierarchy that occurs. Similarly, the first call that tries to populate a dependency "wins", with subsequent populations reusing the result of the first instead of repeating the population again. See the Examples which demonstrate this scenario.

The FetchContent module also supports defining and populating content in a single call, with no check for whether the content has been populated elsewhere already. This should not be done in projects, but may be appropriate for populating content in CMake script mode. See FetchContent_Populate() for details.

  Commands

FetchContent_Declare

        FetchContent_Declare(
          <name>
          <contentOptions>...
          [EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL]
          [SYSTEM]
          [OVERRIDE_FIND_PACKAGE |
           FIND_PACKAGE_ARGS args...]
        )

    The FetchContent_Declare() function records the options that describe how to populate the specified content. If such details have already been recorded earlier in this project (regardless of where in the project hierarchy), this and all later calls for the same content <name> are ignored. This "first to record, wins" approach is what allows hierarchical projects to have parent projects override content details of child projects.

    The content <name> can be any string without spaces, but good practice would be to use only letters, numbers, and underscores. The name will be treated case-insensitively, and it should be obvious for the content it represents. It is often the name of the child project, or the value given to its top level project() command (if it is a CMake project). For well-known public projects, the name should generally be the official name of the project. Choosing an unusual name makes it unlikely that other projects needing that same content will use the same name, leading to the content being populated multiple times.

    The <contentOptions> can be any of the download, update, or patch options that the ExternalProject_Add() command understands. The configure, build, install, and test steps are explicitly disabled, so options related to those steps will be ignored. The SOURCE_SUBDIR option is an exception, see FetchContent_MakeAvailable() for details on how that affects behavior.

    Changed in version 3.30: When policy CMP0168 is set to NEW, some output-related and directory-related options are ignored. See the policy documentation for details.

    In most cases, <contentOptions> will just be a couple of options defining the download method and method-specific details like a commit tag or archive hash. For example:

        FetchContent_Declare(
          googletest
          GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/google/googletest.git
          GIT_TAG        703bd9caab50b139428cea1aaff9974ebee5742e # release-1.10.0
        )
        FetchContent_Declare(
          myCompanyIcons
          URL      https://intranet.mycompany.com/assets/iconset_1.12.tar.gz
          URL_HASH MD5=5588a7b18261c20068beabfb4f530b87
        )
        FetchContent_Declare(
          myCompanyCertificates
          SVN_REPOSITORY svn+ssh://svn.mycompany.com/srv/svn/trunk/certs
          SVN_REVISION   -r12345
        )

    Where contents are being fetched from a remote location and you do not control that server, it is advisable to use a hash for GIT_TAG rather than a branch or tag name. A commit hash is more secure and helps to confirm that the downloaded contents are what you expected.

    Changed in version 3.14: Commands for the download, update, or patch steps can access the terminal. This may be needed for things like password prompts or real-time display of command progress.

    Added in version 3.22: The CMAKE_TLS_VERIFY, CMAKE_TLS_CAINFO, CMAKE_NETRC, and CMAKE_NETRC_FILE variables now provide the defaults for their corresponding content options, just like they do for ExternalProject_Add(). Previously, these variables were ignored by the FetchContent module.

    Added in version 3.24:

FIND_PACKAGE_ARGS
    This option is for scenarios where the FetchContent_MakeAvailable() command may first try a call to find_package() to satisfy the dependency for <name>. By default, such a call would be simply find_package(<name>), but FIND_PACKAGE_ARGS can be used to provide additional arguments to be appended after the <name>. FIND_PACKAGE_ARGS can also be given with nothing after it, which indicates that find_package() can still be called if FETCHCONTENT_TRY_FIND_PACKAGE_MODE is set to OPT_IN, or is not set.

    It would not normally be appropriate to specify REQUIRED as one of the additional arguments after FIND_PACKAGE_ARGS. Doing so would mean the find_package() call must succeed, so none of the other details specified in the FetchContent_Declare() call would get a chance to be used as a fall-back.

    Everything after the FIND_PACKAGE_ARGS keyword is appended to the find_package() call, so all other <contentOptions> must come before the FIND_PACKAGE_ARGS keyword. If the CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_TARGETS_GLOBAL variable is set to true at the time FetchContent_Declare() is called, a GLOBAL keyword will be appended to the find_package() arguments if it was not already specified. It will also be appended if FIND_PACKAGE_ARGS was not given, but FETCHCONTENT_TRY_FIND_PACKAGE_MODE was set to ALWAYS.

    OVERRIDE_FIND_PACKAGE cannot be used when FIND_PACKAGE_ARGS is given.

    Dependency Providers discusses another way that FetchContent_MakeAvailable() calls can be redirected. FIND_PACKAGE_ARGS is intended for project control, whereas dependency providers allow users to override project behavior.

OVERRIDE_FIND_PACKAGE
    When a FetchContent_Declare(<name> ...) call includes this option, subsequent calls to find_package(<name> ...) will ensure that FetchContent_MakeAvailable(<name>) has been called, then use the config package files in the CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_REDIRECTS_DIR directory (which are usually created by FetchContent_MakeAvailable()). This effectively makes FetchContent_MakeAvailable() override find_package() for the named dependency, allowing the former to satisfy the package requirements of the latter. FIND_PACKAGE_ARGS cannot be used when OVERRIDE_FIND_PACKAGE is given.

    If a dependency provider has been set and the project calls find_package() for the <name> dependency, OVERRIDE_FIND_PACKAGE will not prevent the provider from seeing that call. Dependency providers always have the opportunity to intercept any direct call to find_package(), except if that call contains the BYPASS_PROVIDER option.

    Added in version 3.25:

SYSTEM
    If the SYSTEM argument is provided, the SYSTEM directory property of a subdirectory added by FetchContent_MakeAvailable() will be set to true. This will affect non-imported targets created as part of that command. See the SYSTEM target property documentation for a more detailed discussion of the effects.

    Added in version 3.28:

EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL
    If the EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL argument is provided, then targets in the subdirectory added by FetchContent_MakeAvailable() will not be included in the ALL target by default, and may be excluded from IDE project files. See the documentation for the directory property EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL for a detailed discussion of the effects.

FetchContent_MakeAvailable
    Added in version 3.14.

        FetchContent_MakeAvailable(<name1> [<name2>...])

    This command ensures that each of the named dependencies are made available to the project by the time it returns. There must have been a call to FetchContent_Declare() for each dependency, and the first such call will control how that dependency will be made available, as described below.

    If <lowercaseName>_SOURCE_DIR is not set:

•   Added in version 3.24: If a dependency provider is set, call the provider's command with FETCHCONTENT_MAKEAVAILABLE_SERIAL as the first argument, followed by the arguments of the first call to FetchContent_Declare() for <name>. If SOURCE_DIR or BINARY_DIR were not part of the original declared arguments, they will be added with their default values. If FETCHCONTENT_TRY_FIND_PACKAGE_MODE was set to NEVER when the details were declared, any FIND_PACKAGE_ARGS will be omitted. The OVERRIDE_FIND_PACKAGE keyword is also always omitted. If the provider fulfilled the request, FetchContent_MakeAvailable() will consider that dependency handled, skip the remaining steps below, and move on to the next dependency in the list.

•   Added in version 3.24: If permitted, find_package(<name> [<args>...]) will be called, where <args>... may be provided by the FIND_PACKAGE_ARGS option in FetchContent_Declare(). The value of the FETCHCONTENT_TRY_FIND_PACKAGE_MODE variable at the time FetchContent_Declare() was called determines whether FetchContent_MakeAvailable() can call find_package(). If the CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_TARGETS_GLOBAL variable is set to true when FetchContent_MakeAvailable() is called, it still affects any imported targets created when that in turn calls find_package(), even if that variable was false when the corresponding details were declared.

    If the dependency was not satisfied by a provider or a find_package() call, FetchContent_MakeAvailable() then uses the following logic to make the dependency available:

•   If the dependency has already been populated earlier in this run, set the <lowercaseName>_POPULATED, <lowercaseName>_SOURCE_DIR, and <lowercaseName>_BINARY_DIR variables in the same way as a call to FetchContent_GetProperties(), then skip the remaining steps below and move on to the next dependency in the list.

•   Populate the dependency using the details recorded by an earlier call to FetchContent_Declare(). Halt with a fatal error if no such details have been recorded. FETCHCONTENT_SOURCE_DIR_<uppercaseName> can be used to override the declared details and use content provided at the specified location instead.

•   Added in version 3.24: Ensure the CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_REDIRECTS_DIR directory contains a <lowercaseName>-config.cmake and a <lowercaseName>-config-version.cmake file (or equivalently, <name>Config.cmake and <name>ConfigVersion.cmake). The directory that the CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_REDIRECTS_DIR variable points to is cleared at the start of every CMake run. If no config file exists after populating the dependency in the previous step, a minimal one will be written which includes any <lowercaseName>-extra.cmake or <name>Extra.cmake file with the OPTIONAL flag (so the files can be missing and won't generate a warning). Similarly, if no config version file exists, a very simple one will be written which sets PACKAGE_VERSION_COMPATIBLE and PACKAGE_VERSION_EXACT to true. This ensures all future calls to find_package() for the dependency will use the redirected config file, regardless of any version requirements. CMake cannot automatically determine an arbitrary dependency's version, so it cannot set PACKAGE_VERSION. When a dependency is pulled in via add_subdirectory() in the next step, it may choose to overwrite the generated config version file in CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_REDIRECTS_DIR with one that also sets PACKAGE_VERSION. The dependency may also write a <lowercaseName>-extra.cmake or <name>Extra.cmake file to perform custom processing, or define any variables that their normal (installed) package config file would otherwise usually define (many projects don't do any custom processing or set any variables and therefore have no need to do this). If required, the main project can write these files instead if the dependency project doesn't do so. This allows the main project to add missing details from older dependencies that haven't or can't be updated to support this functionality. See Integrating With find_package() for examples.

•   If the top directory of the populated content contains a CMakeLists.txt file, call add_subdirectory() to add it to the main build. It is not an error for there to be no CMakeLists.txt file, which allows the command to be used for dependencies that make downloaded content available at a known location, but which do not need or support being added directly to the build.

    Added in version 3.18: The SOURCE_SUBDIR option can be given in the declared details to look somewhere below the top directory instead (i.e. the same way that SOURCE_SUBDIR is used by the ExternalProject_Add() command). The path provided with SOURCE_SUBDIR must be relative, and it will be treated as relative to the top directory. It can also point to a directory that does not contain a CMakeLists.txt file, or even to a directory that doesn't exist. This can be used to avoid adding a project that contains a CMakeLists.txt file in its top directory.

    Added in version 3.25: If the SYSTEM keyword was included in the call to FetchContent_Declare(), the SYSTEM keyword will be added to the add_subdirectory() command.

    Added in version 3.28: If the EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL keyword was included in the call to FetchContent_Declare(), the EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL keyword will be added to the add_subdirectory() command.

    Added in version 3.29: CMAKE_EXPORT_FIND_PACKAGE_NAME is set to the dependency name before calling add_subdirectory().

    Projects should aim to declare the details of all dependencies they might use before they call FetchContent_MakeAvailable() for any of them. This ensures that if any of the dependencies are also sub-dependencies of one or more of the others, the main project still controls the details that will be used (because it will declare them first before the dependencies get a chance to). In the following code samples, assume that the uses_other dependency also uses FetchContent to add the other dependency internally:

        # WRONG: Should declare all details first
        FetchContent_Declare(uses_other ...)
        FetchContent_MakeAvailable(uses_other)
        FetchContent_Declare(other ...)    # Will be ignored, uses_other beat us to it
        FetchContent_MakeAvailable(other)  # Would use details declared by uses_other

        # CORRECT: All details declared first, so they will take priority
        FetchContent_Declare(uses_other ...)
        FetchContent_Declare(other ...)
        FetchContent_MakeAvailable(uses_other other)

    Note that CMAKE_VERIFY_INTERFACE_HEADER_SETS is explicitly set to false upon entry to FetchContent_MakeAvailable(), and is restored to its original value before the command returns. Developers typically only want to verify header sets from the main project, not those from any dependencies. This local manipulation of the CMAKE_VERIFY_INTERFACE_HEADER_SETS variable provides that intuitive behavior. You can use variables like CMAKE_PROJECT_INCLUDE or CMAKE_PROJECT_<PROJECT-NAME>_INCLUDE to turn verification back on for all or some dependencies. You can also set the VERIFY_INTERFACE_HEADER_SETS property of individual targets.

FetchContent_Populate
    The FetchContent_Populate() command is a self-contained call which can be used to perform content population as an isolated operation. It is rarely the right command to use, projects should almost always use FetchContent_Declare() and FetchContent_MakeAvailable() instead. The main use case for FetchContent_Populate() is in CMake script mode as part of implementing some other higher level custom feature.

        FetchContent_Populate(
          <name>
          [QUIET]
          [SUBBUILD_DIR <subBuildDir>]
          [SOURCE_DIR <srcDir>]
          [BINARY_DIR <binDir>]
          ...
        )

    At least one option must be specified after <name>, otherwise the call is interpreted differently (see below). The supported options for FetchContent_Populate() are the same as those for FetchContent_Declare(), with a few exceptions. The following do not relate to populating content with FetchContent_Populate() and therefore are not supported:

•   EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL

•   SYSTEM

•   OVERRIDE_FIND_PACKAGE

•   FIND_PACKAGE_ARGS

    The few options shown in the signature above are either specific to FetchContent_Populate(), or their behavior is slightly modified from how ExternalProject_Add() treats them:

QUIET
    The QUIET option can be given to hide the output associated with populating the specified content. If the population fails, the output will be shown regardless of whether this option was given or not so that the cause of the failure can be diagnosed. The FETCHCONTENT_QUIET variable has no effect on FetchContent_Populate() calls of this form where the content details are provided directly.

    Changed in version 3.30: The QUIET option and FETCHCONTENT_QUIET variable have no effect when policy CMP0168 is set to NEW. The output is still quiet by default in that case, but verbosity is controlled by the message logging level (see CMAKE_MESSAGE_LOG_LEVEL and --log-level).

SUBBUILD_DIR
    The SUBBUILD_DIR argument can be provided to change the location of the sub-build created to perform the population. The default value is ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/<lowercaseName>-subbuild, and it would be unusual to need to override this default. If a relative path is specified, it will be interpreted as relative to CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR. This option should not be confused with the SOURCE_SUBDIR option, which only affects the FetchContent_MakeAvailable() command.

    Changed in version 3.30: SUBBUILD_DIR is ignored when policy CMP0168 is set to NEW, since there is no sub-build in that case.

SOURCE_DIR, BINARY_DIR
    The SOURCE_DIR and BINARY_DIR arguments are supported by ExternalProject_Add(), but different default values are used by FetchContent_Populate(). SOURCE_DIR defaults to ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/<lowercaseName>-src, and BINARY_DIR defaults to ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/<lowercaseName>-build. If a relative path is specified, it will be interpreted as relative to CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR.

    In addition to the above explicit options, any other unrecognized options are passed through unmodified to ExternalProject_Add() to set up the download, patch, and update steps. The following options are explicitly prohibited (they are disabled by the FetchContent_Populate() command):

•   CONFIGURE_COMMAND

•   BUILD_COMMAND

•   INSTALL_COMMAND

•   TEST_COMMAND

    With this form, the FETCHCONTENT_FULLY_DISCONNECTED and FETCHCONTENT_UPDATES_DISCONNECTED variables and policy CMP0170 are ignored.

    When this form of FetchContent_Populate() returns, the following variables will be set in the scope of the caller:

<lowercaseName>_SOURCE_DIR
    The location where the populated content can be found upon return.

<lowercaseName>_BINARY_DIR
    A directory originally intended for use as a corresponding build directory, but is unlikely to be relevant when using this form of the command.

    If using FetchContent_Populate() within CMake script mode, be aware that the implementation sets up a sub-build which therefore requires a CMake generator and build tool to be available. If these cannot be found by default, then the CMAKE_GENERATOR and potentially the CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM variables will need to be set appropriately on the command line invoking the script.

    Changed in version 3.30: If policy CMP0168 is set to NEW, no sub-build is used. Within CMake script mode, that allows FetchContent_Populate() to be called without any build tool or CMake generator.

    Added in version 3.18: Added support for the DOWNLOAD_NO_EXTRACT option. The command supports another form, although it should no longer be used:

        FetchContent_Populate(<name>)

    Changed in version 3.30: This form is deprecated. Policy CMP0169 provides backward compatibility for projects that still need to use this form, but projects should be updated to use FetchContent_MakeAvailable() instead.

    In this form, the only argument given to FetchContent_Populate() is the <name>. When used this way, the command assumes the content details have been recorded by an earlier call to FetchContent_Declare(). The details are stored in a global property, so they are unaffected by things like variable or directory scope. Therefore, it doesn't matter where in the project the details were previously declared, as long as they have been declared before the call to FetchContent_Populate(). Those saved details are then used to populate the content using a method based on ExternalProject_Add() (see policy CMP0168 for important behavioral aspects of how that is done).

    When this form of FetchContent_Populate() returns, the following variables will be set in the scope of the caller:

<lowercaseName>_POPULATED
    This will always be set to TRUE by the call.

<lowercaseName>_SOURCE_DIR
    The location where the populated content can be found upon return.

<lowercaseName>_BINARY_DIR
    A directory intended for use as a corresponding build directory.

    The values of the three variables can also be retrieved from anywhere in the project hierarchy using the FetchContent_GetProperties() command.

    The implementation ensures that if the content has already been populated in a previous CMake run, that content will be reused rather than repopulating again. For the common case where population involves downloading content, the cost of the download is only paid once. But note that it is an error to call FetchContent_Populate(<name>) with the same <name> more than once within a single CMake run. See FetchContent_GetProperties() for how to determine if population of a <name> has already been performed in the current run.

FetchContent_GetProperties
    When using saved content details, a call to FetchContent_MakeAvailable() or FetchContent_Populate() records information in global properties which can be queried at any time. This information may include the source and binary directories associated with the content, and also whether or not the content population has been processed during the current configure run.

        FetchContent_GetProperties(
          <name>
          [SOURCE_DIR <srcDirVar>]
          [BINARY_DIR <binDirVar>]
          [POPULATED <doneVar>]
        )

    The SOURCE_DIR, BINARY_DIR, and POPULATED options can be used to specify which properties should be retrieved. Each option accepts a value which is the name of the variable in which to store that property. Most of the time though, only <name> is given, in which case the call will then set the same variables as a call to FetchContent_MakeAvailable(name) or FetchContent_Populate(name). Note that the SOURCE_DIR and BINARY_DIR values can be empty if the call is fulfilled by a dependency provider.

    This command is rarely needed when using FetchContent_MakeAvailable(). It is more commonly used as part of implementing the deprecated pattern with FetchContent_Populate(), which ensures that the relevant variables will always be defined regardless of whether or not the population has been performed elsewhere in the project already:

        # WARNING: This pattern is deprecated, don't use it!
        #
        # Check if population has already been performed
        FetchContent_GetProperties(depname)
        if(NOT depname_POPULATED)
          # Fetch the content using previously declared details
          FetchContent_Populate(depname)
          # Set custom variables, policies, etc.
          # ...
          # Bring the populated content into the build
          add_subdirectory(${depname_SOURCE_DIR} ${depname_BINARY_DIR})
        endif()

FetchContent_SetPopulated
    Added in version 3.24.

    NOTE: This command should only be called by dependency providers. Calling it in any other context is unsupported and future CMake versions may halt with a fatal error in such cases.

        FetchContent_SetPopulated(
          <name>
          [SOURCE_DIR <srcDir>]
          [BINARY_DIR <binDir>]
        )

    If a provider command fulfills a FETCHCONTENT_MAKEAVAILABLE_SERIAL request, it must call this function before returning. The SOURCE_DIR and BINARY_DIR arguments can be used to specify the values that FetchContent_GetProperties() should return for its corresponding arguments. Only provide SOURCE_DIR and BINARY_DIR if they have the same meaning as if they had been populated by the built-in FetchContent_MakeAvailable() implementation.

  Variables

A number of cache variables can influence the behavior where details from a FetchContent_Declare() call are used to populate content.

NOTE: All of these variables are intended for the developer to customize behavior. They should not normally be set by the project.

FETCHCONTENT_BASE_DIR
    In most cases, the saved details do not specify any options relating to the directories to use for the internal sub-build, final source, and build areas. It is generally best to leave these decisions up to the FetchContent module to handle on the project's behalf. The FETCHCONTENT_BASE_DIR cache variable controls the point under which all content population directories are collected, but in most cases, developers would not need to change this. The default location is ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/_deps, but if developers change this value, they should aim to keep the path short and just below the top level of the build tree to avoid running into path length problems on Windows.

FETCHCONTENT_QUIET
    The logging output during population can be quite verbose, making the configure stage quite noisy. This cache option (ON by default) hides all population output unless an error is encountered. If experiencing problems with hung downloads, temporarily switching this option off may help diagnose which content population is causing the issue.

    Changed in version 3.30: FETCHCONTENT_QUIET is ignored if policy CMP0168 is set to NEW. The output is still quiet by default in that case, but verbosity is controlled by the message logging level (see CMAKE_MESSAGE_LOG_LEVEL and --log-level).

FETCHCONTENT_FULLY_DISCONNECTED
    When this option is enabled, no attempt is made to download or update any content. It is assumed that all content has already been populated in a previous run, or the source directories have been pointed at existing contents the developer has provided manually (using options described further below). When the developer knows that no changes have been made to any content details, turning this option ON can speed up the configure stage. It is OFF by default.

    NOTE: The FETCHCONTENT_FULLY_DISCONNECTED variable is not an appropriate way to prevent any network access on the first run in a build directory. Doing so can break projects, lead to misleading error messages, and hide subtle population failures. This variable is specifically intended to only be turned on after the first time CMake has been run. If you want to prevent network access even on the first run, use a dependency provider and populate the dependency from local content instead.

    Changed in version 3.30: The constraint that the source directory has already been populated when FETCHCONTENT_FULLY_DISCONNECTED is true is now enforced. See policy CMP0170.

FETCHCONTENT_UPDATES_DISCONNECTED
    This is a less severe download/update control compared to FETCHCONTENT_FULLY_DISCONNECTED. Instead of bypassing all download and update logic, FETCHCONTENT_UPDATES_DISCONNECTED only prevents the update step from making connections to remote servers when using the git or hg download methods. Updates still occur if details about the update step change, but the update is attempted with only the information already available locally (so switching to a different tag or commit that is already fetched locally will succeed, but switching to an unknown commit hash will fail). The download step is not affected, so if content has not been downloaded previously, it will still be downloaded when this option is enabled. This can speed up the configure step, but not as much as FETCHCONTENT_FULLY_DISCONNECTED. FETCHCONTENT_UPDATES_DISCONNECTED is OFF by default.

FETCHCONTENT_TRY_FIND_PACKAGE_MODE
    Added in version 3.24.

    This variable modifies the details that FetchContent_Declare() records for a given dependency. While it ultimately controls the behavior of FetchContent_MakeAvailable(), it is the variable's value when FetchContent_Declare() is called that gets used. It makes no difference what the variable is set to when FetchContent_MakeAvailable() is called. Since the variable should only be set by the user and not by projects directly, it will typically have the same value throughout anyway, so this distinction is not usually noticeable.

    FETCHCONTENT_TRY_FIND_PACKAGE_MODE ultimately controls whether FetchContent_MakeAvailable() is allowed to call find_package() to satisfy a dependency. The variable can be set to one of the following values:

OPT_IN
    FetchContent_MakeAvailable() will only call find_package() if the FetchContent_Declare() call included a FIND_PACKAGE_ARGS keyword. This is also the default behavior if FETCHCONTENT_TRY_FIND_PACKAGE_MODE is not set.

ALWAYS
    find_package() can be called by FetchContent_MakeAvailable() regardless of whether the FetchContent_Declare() call included a FIND_PACKAGE_ARGS keyword or not. If no FIND_PACKAGE_ARGS keyword was given, the behavior will be as though FIND_PACKAGE_ARGS had been provided, with no additional arguments after it.

NEVER
    FetchContent_MakeAvailable() will not call find_package(). Any FIND_PACKAGE_ARGS given to the FetchContent_Declare() call will be ignored.

    As a special case, if the FETCHCONTENT_SOURCE_DIR_<uppercaseName> variable has a non-empty value for a dependency, it is assumed that the user is overriding all other methods of making that dependency available. FETCHCONTENT_TRY_FIND_PACKAGE_MODE will have no effect on that dependency and FetchContent_MakeAvailable() will not try to call find_package() for it.

    In addition to the above, the following variables are also defined for each content name:

FETCHCONTENT_SOURCE_DIR_<uppercaseName>
    If this is set, no download or update steps are performed for the specified content and the <lowercaseName>_SOURCE_DIR variable returned to the caller is pointed at this location. This gives developers a way to have a separate checkout of the content that they can modify freely without interference from the build. The build simply uses that existing source, but it still defines <lowercaseName>_BINARY_DIR to point inside its own build area. Developers are strongly encouraged to use this mechanism rather than editing the sources populated in the default location, as changes to sources in the default location can be lost when content population details are changed by the project.

FETCHCONTENT_UPDATES_DISCONNECTED_<uppercaseName>
    This is the per-content equivalent of FETCHCONTENT_UPDATES_DISCONNECTED. If the global option or this option is ON, then updates for the git and hg methods will not contact any remote for the named content. They will only use information already available locally. Disabling updates for individual content can be useful for content whose details rarely change, while still leaving other frequently changing content with updates enabled.

  Examples

  Typical Case

This first fairly straightforward example ensures that some popular testing frameworks are available to the main build:

    include(FetchContent)
    FetchContent_Declare(
      googletest
      GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/google/googletest.git
      GIT_TAG        703bd9caab50b139428cea1aaff9974ebee5742e # release-1.10.0
    )
    FetchContent_Declare(
      Catch2
      GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/catchorg/Catch2.git
      GIT_TAG        605a34765aa5d5ecbf476b4598a862ada971b0cc # v3.0.1
    )
    # After the following call, the CMake targets defined by googletest and
    # Catch2 will be available to the rest of the build
    FetchContent_MakeAvailable(googletest Catch2)

  Integrating With find_package()

For the previous example, if the user wanted to try to find googletest and Catch2 via find_package() first before trying to download and build them from source, they could set the FETCHCONTENT_TRY_FIND_PACKAGE_MODE variable to ALWAYS. This would also affect any other calls to FetchContent_Declare() throughout the project, which might not be acceptable. The behavior can be enabled for just these two dependencies instead by adding FIND_PACKAGE_ARGS to the declared details and leaving FETCHCONTENT_TRY_FIND_PACKAGE_MODE unset, or set to OPT_IN:

    include(FetchContent)
    FetchContent_Declare(
      googletest
      GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/google/googletest.git
      GIT_TAG        703bd9caab50b139428cea1aaff9974ebee5742e # release-1.10.0
      FIND_PACKAGE_ARGS NAMES GTest
    )
    FetchContent_Declare(
      Catch2
      GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/catchorg/Catch2.git

      FIND_PACKAGE_ARGS
    )
    # This will try calling find_package() first for both dependencies
    FetchContent_MakeAvailable(googletest Catch2)

For Catch2, no additional arguments to find_package() are needed, so no additional arguments are provided after the FIND_PACKAGE_ARGS keyword. For googletest, its package is more commonly called GTest, so arguments are added to support it being found by that name.

If the user wanted to disable FetchContent_MakeAvailable() from calling find_package() for any dependency, even if it provided FIND_PACKAGE_ARGS in its declared details, they could set FETCHCONTENT_TRY_FIND_PACKAGE_MODE to NEVER.

If the project wanted to indicate that these two dependencies should be downloaded and built from source and that find_package() calls should be redirected to use the built dependencies, the OVERRIDE_FIND_PACKAGE option should be used when declaring the content details:

    include(FetchContent)
    FetchContent_Declare(
      googletest
      GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/google/googletest.git
      GIT_TAG        703bd9caab50b139428cea1aaff9974ebee5742e # release-1.10.0
      OVERRIDE_FIND_PACKAGE
    )
    FetchContent_Declare(
      Catch2
      GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/catchorg/Catch2.git
      GIT_TAG        605a34765aa5d5ecbf476b4598a862ada971b0cc # v3.0.1
      OVERRIDE_FIND_PACKAGE
    )
    # The following will automatically forward through to FetchContent_MakeAvailable()
    find_package(googletest)
    find_package(Catch2)

CMake provides a FindGTest module which defines some variables that older projects may use instead of linking to the imported targets. To support those cases, we can provide an extra file. In keeping with the "first to define, wins" philosophy of FetchContent, we only write out that file if something else hasn't already done so.

    FetchContent_MakeAvailable(googletest)
    if(NOT EXISTS ${CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_REDIRECTS_DIR}/googletest-extra.cmake AND
       NOT EXISTS ${CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_REDIRECTS_DIR}/googletestExtra.cmake)
      file(WRITE ${CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_REDIRECTS_DIR}/googletest-extra.cmake
    [=[
    if("${GTEST_LIBRARIES}" STREQUAL "" AND TARGET GTest::gtest)
      set(GTEST_LIBRARIES GTest::gtest)
    endif()
    if("${GTEST_MAIN_LIBRARIES}" STREQUAL "" AND TARGET GTest::gtest_main)
      set(GTEST_MAIN_LIBRARIES GTest::gtest_main)
    endif()
    if("${GTEST_BOTH_LIBRARIES}" STREQUAL "")
      set(GTEST_BOTH_LIBRARIES ${GTEST_LIBRARIES} ${GTEST_MAIN_LIBRARIES})
    endif()
    ]=])
    endif()

Projects will also likely be using find_package(GTest) rather than find_package(googletest), but it is possible to make use of the CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_REDIRECTS_DIR area to pull in the latter as a dependency of the former. This is likely to be sufficient to satisfy a typical find_package(GTest) call.

    FetchContent_MakeAvailable(googletest)
    if(NOT EXISTS ${CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_REDIRECTS_DIR}/gtest-config.cmake AND
       NOT EXISTS ${CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_REDIRECTS_DIR}/GTestConfig.cmake)
      file(WRITE ${CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_REDIRECTS_DIR}/gtest-config.cmake
    [=[
    include(CMakeFindDependencyMacro)
    find_dependency(googletest)
    ]=])
    endif()
    if(NOT EXISTS ${CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_REDIRECTS_DIR}/gtest-config-version.cmake AND
       NOT EXISTS ${CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_REDIRECTS_DIR}/GTestConfigVersion.cmake)
      file(WRITE ${CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_REDIRECTS_DIR}/gtest-config-version.cmake
    [=[
    include(${CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_REDIRECTS_DIR}/googletest-config-version.cmake OPTIONAL)
    if(NOT PACKAGE_VERSION_COMPATIBLE)
      include(${CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_REDIRECTS_DIR}/googletestConfigVersion.cmake OPTIONAL)
    endif()
    ]=])
    endif()

  Overriding Where To Find CMakeLists.txt

If the sub-project's CMakeLists.txt file is not at the top level of its source tree, the SOURCE_SUBDIR option can be used to tell FetchContent where to find it. The following example shows how to use that option, and it also sets a variable which is meaningful to the subproject before pulling it into the main build (set as an INTERNAL cache variable to avoid problems with policy CMP0077):

    include(FetchContent)
    FetchContent_Declare(
      protobuf
      GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf.git
      GIT_TAG        ae50d9b9902526efd6c7a1907d09739f959c6297 # v3.15.0
      SOURCE_SUBDIR  cmake
    )
    set(protobuf_BUILD_TESTS OFF CACHE INTERNAL "")
    FetchContent_MakeAvailable(protobuf)

  Complex Dependency Hierarchies

In more complex project hierarchies, the dependency relationships can be more complicated. Consider a hierarchy where projA is the top level project and it depends directly on projects projB and projC. Both projB and projC can be built standalone and they also both depend on another project projD. projB additionally depends on projE. This example assumes that all five projects are available on a company git server. The CMakeLists.txt of each project might have sections like the following:

projA

    include(FetchContent)
    FetchContent_Declare(
      projB
      GIT_REPOSITORY git@mycompany.com:git/projB.git
      GIT_TAG        4a89dc7e24ff212a7b5167bef7ab079d
    )
    FetchContent_Declare(
      projC
      GIT_REPOSITORY git@mycompany.com:git/projC.git
      GIT_TAG        4ad4016bd1d8d5412d135cf8ceea1bb9
    )
    FetchContent_Declare(
      projD
      GIT_REPOSITORY git@mycompany.com:git/projD.git
      GIT_TAG        origin/integrationBranch
    )
    FetchContent_Declare(
      projE
      GIT_REPOSITORY git@mycompany.com:git/projE.git
      GIT_TAG        v2.3-rc1
    )
    # Order is important, see notes in the discussion further below
    FetchContent_MakeAvailable(projD projB projC)

projB

    include(FetchContent)
    FetchContent_Declare(
      projD
      GIT_REPOSITORY git@mycompany.com:git/projD.git
      GIT_TAG        20b415f9034bbd2a2e8216e9a5c9e632
    )
    FetchContent_Declare(
      projE
      GIT_REPOSITORY git@mycompany.com:git/projE.git
      GIT_TAG        68e20f674a48be38d60e129f600faf7d
    )
    FetchContent_MakeAvailable(projD projE)

projC

    include(FetchContent)
    FetchContent_Declare(
      projD
      GIT_REPOSITORY git@mycompany.com:git/projD.git
      GIT_TAG        7d9a17ad2c962aa13e2fbb8043fb6b8a
    )
    FetchContent_MakeAvailable(projD)

A few key points should be noted in the above:

•   projB and projC define different content details for projD, but projA also defines a set of content details for projD. Because projA will define them first, the details from projB and projC will not be used. The override details defined by projA are not required to match either of those from projB or projC, but it is up to the higher level project to ensure that the details it does define still make sense for the child projects.

•   In the projA call to FetchContent_MakeAvailable(), projD is listed ahead of projB and projC, so it will be populated before either projB or projC. It isn't required for projA to do this, doing so ensures that projA fully controls the environment in which projD is brought into the build (directory properties are particularly relevant).

•   While projA defines content details for projE, it does not need to explicitly call FetchContent_MakeAvailable(projE) or FetchContent_Populate(projD) itself. Instead, it leaves that to the child projB. For higher level projects, it is often enough to just define the override content details and leave the actual population to the child projects. This saves repeating the same thing at each level of the project hierarchy unnecessarily, but it should only be done if directory properties set by dependencies are not expected to influence the population of the shared dependency (projE in this case).

  Populating Content Without Adding It To The Build

Projects don't always need to add the populated content to the build. Sometimes the project just wants to make the downloaded content available at a predictable location. The next example ensures that a set of standard company toolchain files (and potentially even the toolchain binaries themselves) is available early enough to be used for that same build.

    cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.14)
    include(FetchContent)
    FetchContent_Declare(
      mycom_toolchains
      URL  https://intranet.mycompany.com//toolchains_1.3.2.tar.gz
    )
    FetchContent_MakeAvailable(mycom_toolchains)
    project(CrossCompileExample)

The project could be configured to use one of the downloaded toolchains like so:

    cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=_deps/mycom_toolchains-src/toolchain_arm.cmake /path/to/src

When CMake processes the CMakeLists.txt file, it will download and unpack the tarball into _deps/mycompany_toolchains-src relative to the build directory. The CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE variable is not used until the project() command is reached, at which point CMake looks for the named toolchain file relative to the build directory. Because the tarball has already been downloaded and unpacked by then, the toolchain file will be in place, even the very first time that cmake is run in the build directory.

  Populating Content In CMake Script Mode

This last example demonstrates how one might download and unpack a firmware tarball using CMake's script mode. The call to FetchContent_Populate() specifies all the content details and the unpacked firmware will be placed in a firmware directory below the current working directory.

getFirmware.cmake

    # NOTE: Intended to be run in script mode with cmake -P
    include(FetchContent)
    FetchContent_Populate(
      firmware
      URL        https://mycompany.com/assets/firmware-1.23-arm.tar.gz
      URL_HASH   MD5=68247684da89b608d466253762b0ff11
      SOURCE_DIR firmware
    )

  FindPackageHandleStandardArgs

This module provides functions intended to be used in Find Modules implementing find_package(<PackageName>) calls.

find_package_handle_standard_args
    This command handles the REQUIRED, QUIET and version-related arguments of find_package(). It also sets the <PackageName>_FOUND variable. The package is considered found if all variables listed contain valid results, e.g. valid filepaths.

    There are two signatures:

        find_package_handle_standard_args(<PackageName>
          (DEFAULT_MSG|<custom-failure-message>)
          <required-var>...
          )
        find_package_handle_standard_args(<PackageName>
          [FOUND_VAR <result-var>]
          [REQUIRED_VARS <required-var>...]
          [VERSION_VAR <version-var>]
          [HANDLE_VERSION_RANGE]
          [HANDLE_COMPONENTS]
          [CONFIG_MODE]
          [NAME_MISMATCHED]
          [REASON_FAILURE_MESSAGE <reason-failure-message>]
          [FAIL_MESSAGE <custom-failure-message>]
          )

    The <PackageName>_FOUND variable will be set to TRUE if all the variables <required-var>... are valid and any optional constraints are satisfied, and FALSE otherwise. A success or failure message may be displayed based on the results and on whether the REQUIRED and/or QUIET option was given to the find_package() call.

    The options are:

(DEFAULT_MSG|<custom-failure-message>)
    In the simple signature this specifies the failure message. Use DEFAULT_MSG to ask for a default message to be computed (recommended). Not valid in the full signature.

FOUND_VAR <result-var>
    Deprecated since version 3.3.

    Specifies either <PackageName>_FOUND or <PACKAGENAME>_FOUND as the result variable. This exists only for compatibility with older versions of CMake and is now ignored. Result variables of both names are now always set for compatibility also with or without this option.

REQUIRED_VARS <required-var>...
    Specify the variables which are required for this package. These may be named in the generated failure message asking the user to set the missing variable values. Therefore these should typically be cache entries such as FOO_LIBRARY and not output variables like FOO_LIBRARIES.

    Changed in version 3.18: If HANDLE_COMPONENTS is specified, this option can be omitted.

VERSION_VAR <version-var>
    Specify the name of a variable that holds the version of the package that has been found. This version will be checked against the (potentially) specified required version given to the find_package() call, including its EXACT option. The default messages include information about the required version and the version which has been actually found, both if the version is ok or not.

HANDLE_VERSION_RANGE
    Added in version 3.19.

    Enable handling of a version range, if one is specified. Without this option, a developer warning will be displayed if a version range is specified.

HANDLE_COMPONENTS
    Enable handling of package components. In this case, the command will report which components have been found and which are missing, and the <PackageName>_FOUND variable will be set to FALSE if any of the required components (i.e. not the ones listed after the OPTIONAL_COMPONENTS option of find_package()) are missing.

CONFIG_MODE
    Specify that the calling find module is a wrapper around a call to find_package(<PackageName> NO_MODULE). This implies a VERSION_VAR value of <PackageName>_VERSION. The command will automatically check whether the package configuration file was found.

REASON_FAILURE_MESSAGE <reason-failure-message>
    Added in version 3.16.

    Specify a custom message of the reason for the failure which will be appended to the default generated message.

FAIL_MESSAGE <custom-failure-message>
    Specify a custom failure message instead of using the default generated message. Not recommended.

NAME_MISMATCHED
    Added in version 3.17.

    Indicate that the <PackageName> does not match ${CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_NAME}. This is usually a mistake and raises a warning, but it may be intentional for usage of the command for components of a larger package.

    Example for the simple signature:

        find_package_handle_standard_args(LibXml2 DEFAULT_MSG
          LIBXML2_LIBRARY LIBXML2_INCLUDE_DIR)

    The LibXml2 package is considered to be found if both LIBXML2_LIBRARY and LIBXML2_INCLUDE_DIR are valid. Then also LibXml2_FOUND is set to TRUE. If it is not found and REQUIRED was used, it fails with a message(FATAL_ERROR), independent whether QUIET was used or not. If it is found, success will be reported, including the content of the first <required-var>. On repeated CMake runs, the same message will not be printed again.

    NOTE: If <PackageName> does not match CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_NAME for the calling module, a warning that there is a mismatch is given. The FPHSA_NAME_MISMATCHED variable may be set to bypass the warning if using the old signature and the NAME_MISMATCHED argument using the new signature. To avoid forcing the caller to require newer versions of CMake for usage, the variable's value will be used if defined when the NAME_MISMATCHED argument is not passed for the new signature (but using both is an error)..

    Example for the full signature:

        find_package_handle_standard_args(LibArchive
          REQUIRED_VARS LibArchive_LIBRARY LibArchive_INCLUDE_DIR
          VERSION_VAR LibArchive_VERSION)

    In this case, the LibArchive package is considered to be found if both LibArchive_LIBRARY and LibArchive_INCLUDE_DIR are valid. Also the version of LibArchive will be checked by using the version contained in LibArchive_VERSION. Since no FAIL_MESSAGE is given, the default messages will be printed.

    Another example for the full signature:

        find_package(Automoc4 QUIET NO_MODULE HINTS /opt/automoc4)
        find_package_handle_standard_args(Automoc4  CONFIG_MODE)

    In this case, a FindAutmoc4.cmake module wraps a call to find_package(Automoc4 NO_MODULE) and adds an additional search directory for automoc4. Then the call to find_package_handle_standard_args produces a proper success/failure message.

find_package_check_version
    Added in version 3.19.

    Helper function which can be used to check if a <version> is valid against version-related arguments of find_package().

        find_package_check_version(<version> <result-var>
          [HANDLE_VERSION_RANGE]
          [RESULT_MESSAGE_VARIABLE <message-var>]
          )

    The <result-var> will hold a boolean value giving the result of the check.

    The options are:

HANDLE_VERSION_RANGE
    Enable handling of a version range, if one is specified. Without this option, a developer warning will be displayed if a version range is specified.

RESULT_MESSAGE_VARIABLE <message-var>
    Specify a variable to get back a message describing the result of the check.

    Example for the usage:

        find_package_check_version(1.2.3 result HANDLE_VERSION_RANGE
          RESULT_MESSAGE_VARIABLE reason)
        if(result)
          message(STATUS "${reason}")
        else()
          message(FATAL_ERROR "${reason}")
        endif()

  FindPackageMessage

    find_package_message(<name> "message for user" "find result details")

This function is intended to be used in FindXXX.cmake modules files. It will print a message once for each unique find result. This is useful for telling the user where a package was found. The first argument specifies the name (XXX) of the package. The second argument specifies the message to display. The third argument lists details about the find result so that if they change the message will be displayed again. The macro also obeys the QUIET argument to the find_package command.

Example:

    if(X11_FOUND)
      find_package_message(X11 "Found X11: ${X11_X11_LIB}"
        "[${X11_X11_LIB}][${X11_INCLUDE_DIR}]")
    else()
     ...
    endif()

  FortranCInterface

Fortran/C Interface Detection

This module automatically detects the API by which C and Fortran languages interact.

  Module Variables

Variables that indicate if the mangling is found:

FortranCInterface_GLOBAL_FOUND
    Global subroutines and functions.

FortranCInterface_MODULE_FOUND
    Module subroutines and functions (declared by "MODULE PROCEDURE").

    This module also provides the following variables to specify the detected mangling, though a typical use case does not need to reference them and can use the Module Functions below.

FortranCInterface_GLOBAL_PREFIX
    Prefix for a global symbol without an underscore.

FortranCInterface_GLOBAL_SUFFIX
    Suffix for a global symbol without an underscore.

FortranCInterface_GLOBAL_CASE
    The case for a global symbol without an underscore, either UPPER or LOWER.

FortranCInterface_GLOBAL__PREFIX
    Prefix for a global symbol with an underscore.

FortranCInterface_GLOBAL__SUFFIX
    Suffix for a global symbol with an underscore.

FortranCInterface_GLOBAL__CASE
    The case for a global symbol with an underscore, either UPPER or LOWER.

FortranCInterface_MODULE_PREFIX
    Prefix for a module symbol without an underscore.

FortranCInterface_MODULE_MIDDLE
    Middle of a module symbol without an underscore that appears between the name of the module and the name of the symbol.

FortranCInterface_MODULE_SUFFIX
    Suffix for a module symbol without an underscore.

FortranCInterface_MODULE_CASE
    The case for a module symbol without an underscore, either UPPER or LOWER.

FortranCInterface_MODULE__PREFIX
    Prefix for a module symbol with an underscore.

FortranCInterface_MODULE__MIDDLE
    Middle of a module symbol with an underscore that appears between the name of the module and the name of the symbol.

FortranCInterface_MODULE__SUFFIX
    Suffix for a module symbol with an underscore.

FortranCInterface_MODULE__CASE
    The case for a module symbol with an underscore, either UPPER or LOWER.

  Module Functions

FortranCInterface_HEADER
    The FortranCInterface_HEADER function is provided to generate a C header file containing macros to mangle symbol names:

        FortranCInterface_HEADER(<file>
                                 [MACRO_NAMESPACE <macro-ns>]
                                 [SYMBOL_NAMESPACE <ns>]
                                 [SYMBOLS [<module>:]<function> ...])

    It generates in <file> definitions of the following macros:

        #define FortranCInterface_GLOBAL (name,NAME) ...
        #define FortranCInterface_GLOBAL_(name,NAME) ...
        #define FortranCInterface_MODULE (mod,name, MOD,NAME) ...
        #define FortranCInterface_MODULE_(mod,name, MOD,NAME) ...

    These macros mangle four categories of Fortran symbols, respectively:

•   Global symbols without '_': call mysub()

•   Global symbols with '_' : call my_sub()

•   Module symbols without '_': use mymod; call mysub()

•   Module symbols with '_' : use mymod; call my_sub()

    If mangling for a category is not known, its macro is left undefined. All macros require raw names in both lower case and upper case.

    The options are:

MACRO_NAMESPACE
    Replace the default FortranCInterface_ prefix with a given namespace <macro-ns>.

SYMBOLS
    List symbols to mangle automatically with C preprocessor definitions:

        <function>          ==> #define <ns><function> ...
        <module>:<function> ==> #define <ns><module>_<function> ...

    If the mangling for some symbol is not known then no preprocessor definition is created, and a warning is displayed.

SYMBOL_NAMESPACE
    Prefix all preprocessor definitions generated by the SYMBOLS option with a given namespace <ns>.

FortranCInterface_VERIFY
    The FortranCInterface_VERIFY function is provided to verify that the Fortran and C/C++ compilers work together:

        FortranCInterface_VERIFY([CXX] [QUIET])

    It tests whether a simple test executable using Fortran and C (and C++ when the CXX option is given) compiles and links successfully. The result is stored in the cache entry FortranCInterface_VERIFIED_C (or FortranCInterface_VERIFIED_CXX if CXX is given) as a boolean. If the check fails and QUIET is not given the function terminates with a fatal error message describing the problem. The purpose of this check is to stop a build early for incompatible compiler combinations. The test is built in the Release configuration.

  Example Usage

    include(FortranCInterface)
    FortranCInterface_HEADER(FC.h MACRO_NAMESPACE "FC_")

This creates a "FC.h" header that defines mangling macros FC_GLOBAL(), FC_GLOBAL_(), FC_MODULE(), and FC_MODULE_().

    include(FortranCInterface)
    FortranCInterface_HEADER(FCMangle.h
                             MACRO_NAMESPACE "FC_"
                             SYMBOL_NAMESPACE "FC_"
                             SYMBOLS mysub mymod:my_sub)

This creates a "FCMangle.h" header that defines the same FC_*() mangling macros as the previous example plus preprocessor symbols FC_mysub and FC_mymod_my_sub.

  Additional Manglings

FortranCInterface is aware of possible GLOBAL and MODULE manglings for many Fortran compilers, but it also provides an interface to specify new possible manglings. Set the variables:

    FortranCInterface_GLOBAL_SYMBOLS
    FortranCInterface_MODULE_SYMBOLS

before including FortranCInterface to specify manglings of the symbols MySub, My_Sub, MyModule:MySub, and My_Module:My_Sub. For example, the code:

    set(FortranCInterface_GLOBAL_SYMBOLS mysub_ my_sub__ MYSUB_)
      #                                  ^^^^^  ^^^^^^   ^^^^^
    set(FortranCInterface_MODULE_SYMBOLS
        __mymodule_MOD_mysub __my_module_MOD_my_sub)
      #   ^^^^^^^^     ^^^^^   ^^^^^^^^^     ^^^^^^
    include(FortranCInterface)

tells FortranCInterface to try given GLOBAL and MODULE manglings. (The carets point at raw symbol names for clarity in this example but are not needed.)

  GenerateExportHeader

This module provides the generate_export_header() function to generate export macros for libraries.

Added in version 3.12: Added support for C projects. Previous versions supported C++ project only.

generate_export_header
    The generate_export_header() function can be used to generate a file suitable for preprocessor inclusion which contains EXPORT macros to be used in library classes:

        generate_export_header(LIBRARY_TARGET
                 [BASE_NAME <base_name>]
                 [EXPORT_MACRO_NAME <export_macro_name>]
                 [EXPORT_FILE_NAME <export_file_name>]
                 [DEPRECATED_MACRO_NAME <deprecated_macro_name>]
                 [NO_EXPORT_MACRO_NAME <no_export_macro_name>]
                 [INCLUDE_GUARD_NAME <include_guard_name>]
                 [STATIC_DEFINE <static_define>]
                 [NO_DEPRECATED_MACRO_NAME <no_deprecated_macro_name>]
                 [DEFINE_NO_DEPRECATED]
                 [PREFIX_NAME <prefix_name>]
                 [CUSTOM_CONTENT_FROM_VARIABLE <variable>]
        )

    The target properties CXX_VISIBILITY_PRESET and VISIBILITY_INLINES_HIDDEN can be used to add the appropriate compile flags for targets. See the documentation of those target properties, and the convenience variables CMAKE_CXX_VISIBILITY_PRESET and CMAKE_VISIBILITY_INLINES_HIDDEN.

    By default generate_export_header() generates macro names in a file name determined by the name of the library. This means that in the simplest case, users of GenerateExportHeader will be equivalent to:

        set(CMAKE_CXX_VISIBILITY_PRESET hidden)
        set(CMAKE_VISIBILITY_INLINES_HIDDEN 1)
        add_library(somelib someclass.cpp)
        generate_export_header(somelib)
        install(TARGETS somelib DESTINATION ${LIBRARY_INSTALL_DIR})
        install(FILES
         someclass.h
         ${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/somelib_export.h DESTINATION ${INCLUDE_INSTALL_DIR}
        )

    And in the ABI header files:

        #include "somelib_export.h"
        class SOMELIB_EXPORT SomeClass {
          ...
        };

    The CMake fragment will generate a file in the ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR} called somelib_export.h containing the macros SOMELIB_EXPORT, SOMELIB_NO_EXPORT, SOMELIB_DEPRECATED, SOMELIB_DEPRECATED_EXPORT and SOMELIB_DEPRECATED_NO_EXPORT. They will be followed by content taken from the variable specified by the CUSTOM_CONTENT_FROM_VARIABLE option, if any. The resulting file should be installed with other headers in the library.

    The BASE_NAME argument can be used to override the file name and the names used for the macros:

        add_library(somelib someclass.cpp)
        generate_export_header(somelib
          BASE_NAME other_name
        )

    Generates a file called other_name_export.h containing the macros OTHER_NAME_EXPORT, OTHER_NAME_NO_EXPORT and OTHER_NAME_DEPRECATED etc.

    The BASE_NAME may be overridden by specifying other options in the function. For example:

        add_library(somelib someclass.cpp)
        generate_export_header(somelib
          EXPORT_MACRO_NAME OTHER_NAME_EXPORT
        )

    creates the macro OTHER_NAME_EXPORT instead of SOMELIB_EXPORT, but other macros and the generated file name is as default:

        add_library(somelib someclass.cpp)
        generate_export_header(somelib
          DEPRECATED_MACRO_NAME KDE_DEPRECATED
        )

    creates the macro KDE_DEPRECATED instead of SOMELIB_DEPRECATED.

    If LIBRARY_TARGET is a static library, macros are defined without values.

    If the same sources are used to create both a shared and a static library, the uppercased symbol ${BASE_NAME}_STATIC_DEFINE should be used when building the static library:

        add_library(shared_variant SHARED ${lib_SRCS})
        add_library(static_variant ${lib_SRCS})
        generate_export_header(shared_variant BASE_NAME libshared_and_static)
        set_target_properties(static_variant PROPERTIES
          COMPILE_FLAGS -DLIBSHARED_AND_STATIC_STATIC_DEFINE)

    This will cause the export macros to expand to nothing when building the static library.

    If DEFINE_NO_DEPRECATED is specified, then a macro ${BASE_NAME}_NO_DEPRECATED will be defined This macro can be used to remove deprecated code from preprocessor output:

        option(EXCLUDE_DEPRECATED "Exclude deprecated parts of the library" FALSE)
        if (EXCLUDE_DEPRECATED)
          set(NO_BUILD_DEPRECATED DEFINE_NO_DEPRECATED)
        endif()
        generate_export_header(somelib ${NO_BUILD_DEPRECATED})

    And then in somelib:

        class SOMELIB_EXPORT SomeClass
        {
        public:
        #ifndef SOMELIB_NO_DEPRECATED
          SOMELIB_DEPRECATED void oldMethod();
        #endif
        };

        #ifndef SOMELIB_NO_DEPRECATED
        void SomeClass::oldMethod() {  }
        #endif

    If PREFIX_NAME is specified, the argument will be used as a prefix to all generated macros.

    For example:

        generate_export_header(somelib PREFIX_NAME VTK_)

    Generates the macros VTK_SOMELIB_EXPORT etc.

    Added in version 3.1: Library target can be an OBJECT library.

    Added in version 3.7: Added the CUSTOM_CONTENT_FROM_VARIABLE option.

    Added in version 3.11: Added the INCLUDE_GUARD_NAME option.

add_compiler_export_flags

        add_compiler_export_flags([<output_variable>])

    Deprecated since version 3.0: Set the target properties CXX_VISIBILITY_PRESET and VISIBILITY_INLINES_HIDDEN instead.

    The add_compiler_export_flags() function adds -fvisibility=hidden to CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS if supported, and is a no-op on Windows which does not need extra compiler flags for exporting support. You may optionally pass a single argument to add_compiler_export_flags() that will be populated with the CXX_FLAGS required to enable visibility support for the compiler/architecture in use.

  GNUInstallDirs

Define GNU standard installation directories

Provides install directory variables as defined by the GNU Coding Standards.

  Result Variables

Inclusion of this module defines the following variables:

CMAKE_INSTALL_<dir> Destination for files of a given type. This value may be passed to the DESTINATION options of install() commands for the corresponding file type. It should be a path relative to the installation prefix so that it can be converted to an absolute path in a relocatable way.

While absolute paths are allowed, they are not recommended as they do not work with the cmake --install command's --prefix option, or with the cpack installer generators. In particular, there is no need to make paths absolute by prepending CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX; this prefix is used by default if the DESTINATION is a relative path.

CMAKE_INSTALL_FULL_<dir> The absolute path generated from the corresponding CMAKE_INSTALL_<dir> value. If the value is not already an absolute path, an absolute path is constructed typically by prepending the value of the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX variable. However, there are some special cases as documented below.

These variables shouldn't be used in install() commands as they do not work with the cmake --install command's --prefix option, or with the cpack installer generators.

where <dir> is one of:

BINDIR
    user executables (bin)

SBINDIR
    system admin executables (sbin)

LIBEXECDIR
    program executables (libexec)

SYSCONFDIR
    read-only single-machine data (etc)

SHAREDSTATEDIR
    modifiable architecture-independent data (com)

LOCALSTATEDIR
    modifiable single-machine data (var)

RUNSTATEDIR
    Added in version 3.9: run-time variable data (LOCALSTATEDIR/run)

LIBDIR
    object code libraries (lib or lib64)

    On Debian, this may be lib/<multiarch-tuple> when CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX is /usr.

INCLUDEDIR
    C header files (include)

OLDINCLUDEDIR
    C header files for non-gcc (/usr/include)

DATAROOTDIR
    read-only architecture-independent data root (share)

DATADIR
    read-only architecture-independent data (DATAROOTDIR)

INFODIR
    info documentation (DATAROOTDIR/info)

LOCALEDIR
    locale-dependent data (DATAROOTDIR/locale)

MANDIR
    man documentation (DATAROOTDIR/man)

DOCDIR
    documentation root (DATAROOTDIR/doc/PROJECT_NAME)

    If the includer does not define a value the above-shown default will be used and the value will appear in the cache for editing by the user.

  Special Cases

Added in version 3.4.

The following values of CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX are special:

/ For <dir> other than the SYSCONFDIR, LOCALSTATEDIR and RUNSTATEDIR, the value of CMAKE_INSTALL_<dir> is prefixed with usr/ if it is not user-specified as an absolute path. For example, the INCLUDEDIR value include becomes usr/include. This is required by the GNU Coding Standards, which state: When building the complete GNU system, the prefix will be empty and /usr will be a symbolic link to /.

/usr For <dir> equal to SYSCONFDIR, LOCALSTATEDIR or RUNSTATEDIR, the CMAKE_INSTALL_FULL_<dir> is computed by prepending just / to the value of CMAKE_INSTALL_<dir> if it is not user-specified as an absolute path. For example, the SYSCONFDIR value etc becomes /etc. This is required by the GNU Coding Standards.

/opt/... For <dir> equal to SYSCONFDIR, LOCALSTATEDIR or RUNSTATEDIR, the CMAKE_INSTALL_FULL_<dir> is computed by appending the prefix to the value of CMAKE_INSTALL_<dir> if it is not user-specified as an absolute path. For example, the SYSCONFDIR value etc becomes /etc/opt/.... This is defined by the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard.

This behavior does not apply to paths under /opt/homebrew/....

  Macros

GNUInstallDirs_get_absolute_install_dir

        GNUInstallDirs_get_absolute_install_dir(absvar var dirname)

    Added in version 3.7.

    Set the given variable absvar to the absolute path contained within the variable var. This is to allow the computation of an absolute path, accounting for all the special cases documented above. While this macro is used to compute the various CMAKE_INSTALL_FULL_<dir> variables, it is exposed publicly to allow users who create additional path variables to also compute absolute paths where necessary, using the same logic. dirname is the directory name to get, e.g. BINDIR.

    Changed in version 3.20: Added the <dirname> parameter. Previous versions of CMake passed this value through the variable ${dir}.

  GoogleTest

Added in version 3.9.

This module defines functions to help use the Google Test infrastructure. Two mechanisms for adding tests are provided. gtest_add_tests() has been around for some time, originally via find_package(GTest). gtest_discover_tests() was introduced in CMake 3.10.

The (older) gtest_add_tests() scans source files to identify tests. This is usually effective, with some caveats, including in cross-compiling environments, and makes setting additional properties on tests more convenient. However, its handling of parameterized tests is less comprehensive, and it requires re-running CMake to detect changes to the list of tests.

The (newer) gtest_discover_tests() discovers tests by asking the compiled test executable to enumerate its tests. This is more robust and provides better handling of parameterized tests, and does not require CMake to be re-run when tests change. However, it may not work in a cross-compiling environment, and setting test properties is less convenient.

More details can be found in the documentation of the respective functions.

Both commands are intended to replace use of add_test() to register tests, and will create a separate CTest test for each Google Test test case. Note that this is in some cases less efficient, as common set-up and tear-down logic cannot be shared by multiple test cases executing in the same instance. However, it provides more fine-grained pass/fail information to CTest, which is usually considered as more beneficial. By default, the CTest test name is the same as the Google Test name (i.e. suite.testcase); see also TEST_PREFIX and TEST_SUFFIX.

gtest_add_tests
    Automatically add tests with CTest by scanning source code for Google Test macros:

        gtest_add_tests(TARGET target
                        [SOURCES src1...]
                        [EXTRA_ARGS args...]
                        [WORKING_DIRECTORY dir]
                        [TEST_PREFIX prefix]
                        [TEST_SUFFIX suffix]
                        [SKIP_DEPENDENCY]
                        [TEST_LIST outVar]
        )

    gtest_add_tests attempts to identify tests by scanning source files. Although this is generally effective, it uses only a basic regular expression match, which can be defeated by atypical test declarations, and is unable to fully "split" parameterized tests. Additionally, it requires that CMake be re-run to discover any newly added, removed or renamed tests (by default, this means that CMake is re-run when any test source file is changed, but see SKIP_DEPENDENCY). However, it has the advantage of declaring tests at CMake time, which somewhat simplifies setting additional properties on tests, and always works in a cross-compiling environment.

    The options are:

TARGET target
    Specifies the Google Test executable, which must be a known CMake executable target. CMake will substitute the location of the built executable when running the test.

SOURCES src1...
    When provided, only the listed files will be scanned for test cases. If this option is not given, the SOURCES property of the specified target will be used to obtain the list of sources.

EXTRA_ARGS args...
    Any extra arguments to pass on the command line to each test case.

    Changed in version 3.31: Empty values in args... are preserved, see CMP0178.

WORKING_DIRECTORY dir
    Specifies the directory in which to run the discovered test cases. If this option is not provided, the current binary directory is used.

TEST_PREFIX prefix
    Specifies a prefix to be prepended to the name of each discovered test case. This can be useful when the same source files are being used in multiple calls to gtest_add_test() but with different EXTRA_ARGS.

TEST_SUFFIX suffix
    Similar to TEST_PREFIX except the suffix is appended to the name of every discovered test case. Both TEST_PREFIX and TEST_SUFFIX may be specified.

SKIP_DEPENDENCY
    Normally, the function creates a dependency which will cause CMake to be re-run if any of the sources being scanned are changed. This is to ensure that the list of discovered tests is updated. If this behavior is not desired (as may be the case while actually writing the test cases), this option can be used to prevent the dependency from being added.

TEST_LIST outVar
    The variable named by outVar will be populated in the calling scope with the list of discovered test cases. This allows the caller to do things like manipulate test properties of the discovered tests.

    Changed in version 3.31: Empty values in the TEST_LAUNCHER and CROSSCOMPILING_EMULATOR target properties are preserved, see policy CMP0178.

    Usage example:

        include(GoogleTest)
        add_executable(FooTest FooUnitTest.cxx)
        gtest_add_tests(TARGET      FooTest
                        TEST_SUFFIX .noArgs
                        TEST_LIST   noArgsTests
        )
        gtest_add_tests(TARGET      FooTest
                        EXTRA_ARGS  --someArg someValue
                        TEST_SUFFIX .withArgs
                        TEST_LIST   withArgsTests
        )
        set_tests_properties(${noArgsTests}   PROPERTIES TIMEOUT 10)
        set_tests_properties(${withArgsTests} PROPERTIES TIMEOUT 20)

    For backward compatibility, the following form is also supported:

        gtest_add_tests(exe args files...)

exe The path to the test executable or the name of a CMake target.

args
    A ;-list of extra arguments to be passed to executable. The entire list must be passed as a single argument. Enclose it in quotes, or pass "" for no arguments.

files...
    A list of source files to search for tests and test fixtures. Alternatively, use AUTO to specify that exe is the name of a CMake executable target whose sources should be scanned.

        include(GoogleTest)
        set(FooTestArgs --foo 1 --bar 2)
        add_executable(FooTest FooUnitTest.cxx)
        gtest_add_tests(FooTest "${FooTestArgs}" AUTO)

gtest_discover_tests
    Automatically add tests with CTest by querying the compiled test executable for available tests:

        gtest_discover_tests(target
                             [EXTRA_ARGS args...]
                             [WORKING_DIRECTORY dir]
                             [TEST_PREFIX prefix]
                             [TEST_SUFFIX suffix]
                             [TEST_FILTER expr]
                             [NO_PRETTY_TYPES] [NO_PRETTY_VALUES]
                             [PROPERTIES name1 value1...]
                             [TEST_LIST var]
                             [DISCOVERY_TIMEOUT seconds]
                             [XML_OUTPUT_DIR dir]
                             [DISCOVERY_MODE <POST_BUILD|PRE_TEST>]
                             [DISCOVERY_EXTRA_ARGS args...]
        )

    Added in version 3.10.

    gtest_discover_tests() sets up a post-build or pre-test command on the test executable that generates the list of tests by parsing the output from running the test executable with the --gtest_list_tests argument. Compared to the source parsing approach of gtest_add_tests(), this ensures that the full list of tests, including instantiations of parameterized tests, is obtained. Since test discovery occurs at build or test time, it is not necessary to re-run CMake when the list of tests changes. However, it requires that CROSSCOMPILING_EMULATOR is properly set in order to function in a cross-compiling environment.

    Additionally, setting properties on tests is somewhat less convenient, since the tests are not available at CMake time. Additional test properties may be assigned to the set of tests as a whole using the PROPERTIES option. If more fine-grained test control is needed, custom content may be provided through an external CTest script using the TEST_INCLUDE_FILES directory property. The set of discovered tests is made accessible to such a script via the <target>_TESTS variable (see the TEST_LIST option below for further discussion and limitations).

    The options are:

target
    Specifies the Google Test executable, which must be a known CMake executable target. CMake will substitute the location of the built executable when running the test.

EXTRA_ARGS args...
    Any extra arguments to pass on the command line to each test case.

    Changed in version 3.31: Empty values in args... are preserved, see CMP0178.

WORKING_DIRECTORY dir
    Specifies the directory in which to run the discovered test cases. If this option is not provided, the current binary directory is used.

TEST_PREFIX prefix
    Specifies a prefix to be prepended to the name of each discovered test case. This can be useful when the same test executable is being used in multiple calls to gtest_discover_tests() but with different EXTRA_ARGS.

TEST_SUFFIX suffix
    Similar to TEST_PREFIX except the suffix is appended to the name of every discovered test case. Both TEST_PREFIX and TEST_SUFFIX may be specified.

TEST_FILTER expr
    Added in version 3.22.

    Filter expression to pass as a --gtest_filter argument during test discovery. Note that the expression is a wildcard-based format that matches against the original test names as used by gtest. For type or value-parameterized tests, these names may be different to the potentially pretty-printed test names that ctest uses.

NO_PRETTY_TYPES
    By default, the type index of type-parameterized tests is replaced by the actual type name in the CTest test name. If this behavior is undesirable (e.g. because the type names are unwieldy), this option will suppress this behavior.

NO_PRETTY_VALUES
    By default, the value index of value-parameterized tests is replaced by the actual value in the CTest test name. If this behavior is undesirable (e.g. because the value strings are unwieldy), this option will suppress this behavior.

PROPERTIES name1 value1...
    Specifies additional properties to be set on all tests discovered by this invocation of gtest_discover_tests().

TEST_LIST var
    Make the list of tests available in the variable var, rather than the default <target>_TESTS. This can be useful when the same test executable is being used in multiple calls to gtest_discover_tests(). Note that this variable is only available in CTest.

    Due to a limitation of CMake's parsing rules, any test with a square bracket in its name will be omitted from the list of tests stored in this variable. Such tests will still be defined and executed by ctest as normal though.

DISCOVERY_TIMEOUT num
    Added in version 3.10.3.

    Specifies how long (in seconds) CMake will wait for the test to enumerate available tests. If the test takes longer than this, discovery (and your build) will fail. Most test executables will enumerate their tests very quickly, but under some exceptional circumstances, a test may require a longer timeout. The default is 5. See also the TIMEOUT option of execute_process().

    NOTE: In CMake versions 3.10.1 and 3.10.2, this option was called TIMEOUT. This clashed with the TIMEOUT test property, which is one of the common properties that would be set with the PROPERTIES keyword, usually leading to legal but unintended behavior. The keyword was changed to DISCOVERY_TIMEOUT in CMake 3.10.3 to address this problem. The ambiguous behavior of the TIMEOUT keyword in 3.10.1 and 3.10.2 has not been preserved.

XML_OUTPUT_DIR dir
    Added in version 3.18.

    If specified, the parameter is passed along with --gtest_output=xml: to test executable. The actual file name is the same as the test target, including prefix and suffix. This should be used instead of EXTRA_ARGS --gtest_output=xml to avoid race conditions writing the XML result output when using parallel test execution.

DISCOVERY_MODE
    Added in version 3.18.

    Provides greater control over when gtest_discover_tests() performs test discovery. By default, POST_BUILD sets up a post-build command to perform test discovery at build time. In certain scenarios, like cross-compiling, this POST_BUILD behavior is not desirable. By contrast, PRE_TEST delays test discovery until just prior to test execution. This way test discovery occurs in the target environment where the test has a better chance at finding appropriate runtime dependencies.

    DISCOVERY_MODE defaults to the value of the CMAKE_GTEST_DISCOVER_TESTS_DISCOVERY_MODE variable if it is not passed when calling gtest_discover_tests(). This provides a mechanism for globally selecting a preferred test discovery behavior without having to modify each call site.

DISCOVERY_EXTRA_ARGS args...
    Added in version 3.31.

    Any extra arguments to pass on the command line for the discovery command.

    Added in version 3.29: The TEST_LAUNCHER target property is honored during test discovery and test execution.

    Changed in version 3.31: Empty values in the TEST_LAUNCHER and CROSSCOMPILING_EMULATOR target properties are preserved, see policy CMP0178.

  InstallRequiredSystemLibraries

Include this module to search for compiler-provided system runtime libraries and add install rules for them. Some optional variables may be set prior to including the module to adjust behavior:

CMAKE_INSTALL_SYSTEM_RUNTIME_LIBS
    Specify additional runtime libraries that may not be detected. After inclusion any detected libraries will be appended to this.

CMAKE_INSTALL_SYSTEM_RUNTIME_LIBS_SKIP
    Set to TRUE to skip calling the install(PROGRAMS) command to allow the includer to specify its own install rule, using the value of CMAKE_INSTALL_SYSTEM_RUNTIME_LIBS to get the list of libraries.

CMAKE_INSTALL_DEBUG_LIBRARIES
    Set to TRUE to install the debug runtime libraries when available with MSVC tools.

CMAKE_INSTALL_DEBUG_LIBRARIES_ONLY
    Set to TRUE to install only the debug runtime libraries with MSVC tools even if the release runtime libraries are also available.

CMAKE_INSTALL_UCRT_LIBRARIES
    Added in version 3.6.

    Set to TRUE to install the Windows Universal CRT libraries for app-local deployment (e.g. to Windows XP). This is meaningful only with MSVC from Visual Studio 2015 or higher.

    Added in version 3.9: One may set a CMAKE_WINDOWS_KITS_10_DIR environment variable to an absolute path to tell CMake to look for Windows 10 SDKs in a custom location. The specified directory is expected to contain Redist/ucrt/DLLs/* directories.

CMAKE_INSTALL_MFC_LIBRARIES
    Set to TRUE to install the MSVC MFC runtime libraries.

CMAKE_INSTALL_OPENMP_LIBRARIES
    Set to TRUE to install the MSVC OpenMP runtime libraries

CMAKE_INSTALL_SYSTEM_RUNTIME_DESTINATION
    Specify the install(PROGRAMS) command DESTINATION option. If not specified, the default is bin on Windows and lib elsewhere.

CMAKE_INSTALL_SYSTEM_RUNTIME_LIBS_NO_WARNINGS
    Set to TRUE to disable warnings about required library files that do not exist. (For example, Visual Studio Express editions may not provide the redistributable files.)

CMAKE_INSTALL_SYSTEM_RUNTIME_COMPONENT
    Added in version 3.3.

    Specify the install(PROGRAMS) command COMPONENT option. If not specified, no such option will be used.

    Added in version 3.10: Support for installing Intel compiler runtimes.

  ProcessorCount

ProcessorCount(var)

Determine the number of processors/cores and save value in ${var}

Sets the variable named ${var} to the number of physical cores available on the machine if the information can be determined. Otherwise it is set to 0. Currently this functionality is implemented for AIX, cygwin, FreeBSD, HPUX, Linux, macOS, QNX, Sun and Windows.

Changed in version 3.15: On Linux, returns the container CPU count instead of the host CPU count.

This function is guaranteed to return a positive integer (>=1) if it succeeds. It returns 0 if there's a problem determining the processor count.

More generally accurate physical CPU count can be obtained via cmake_host_system_information():

    cmake_host_system_information(RESULT N
                                  QUERY NUMBER_OF_PHYSICAL_CORES)

Example use, in a ctest -S dashboard script:

    include(ProcessorCount)
    ProcessorCount(N)
    if(NOT N EQUAL 0)
      set(CTEST_BUILD_FLAGS -j${N})
      set(ctest_test_args ${ctest_test_args} PARALLEL_LEVEL ${N})
    endif()

This function is intended to offer an approximation of the value of the number of compute cores available on the current machine, such that you may use that value for parallel building and parallel testing. It is meant to help utilize as much of the machine as seems reasonable. Of course, knowledge of what else might be running on the machine simultaneously should be used when deciding whether to request a machine's full capacity all for yourself.

  SelectLibraryConfigurations

    select_library_configurations(basename)

This macro takes a library base name as an argument, and will choose good values for the variables

    basename_LIBRARY
    basename_LIBRARIES
    basename_LIBRARY_DEBUG
    basename_LIBRARY_RELEASE

depending on what has been found and set.

If only basename_LIBRARY_RELEASE is defined, basename_LIBRARY will be set to the release value, and basename_LIBRARY_DEBUG will be set to basename_LIBRARY_DEBUG-NOTFOUND. If only basename_LIBRARY_DEBUG is defined, then basename_LIBRARY will take the debug value, and basename_LIBRARY_RELEASE will be set to basename_LIBRARY_RELEASE-NOTFOUND.

If the generator supports configuration types, then basename_LIBRARY and basename_LIBRARIES will be set with debug and optimized flags specifying the library to be used for the given configuration. If no build type has been set or the generator in use does not support configuration types, then basename_LIBRARY and basename_LIBRARIES will take only the release value, or the debug value if the release one is not set.

  Creating And Installing JARs

add_jar
    Creates a jar file containing java objects and, optionally, resources:

        add_jar(<target_name>
                [SOURCES] <source1> [<source2>...] [<resource1>...]
                [RESOURCES NAMESPACE <ns1> <resource1>... [NAMESPACE <nsX> <resourceX>...]... ]
                [INCLUDE_JARS <jar1> [<jar2>...]]
                [ENTRY_POINT <entry>]
                [VERSION <version>]
                [MANIFEST <manifest>]
                [OUTPUT_NAME <name>]
                [OUTPUT_DIR <dir>]
                [GENERATE_NATIVE_HEADERS <target>
                                         [DESTINATION (<dir>|INSTALL <dir> [BUILD <dir>])]]
                )

    This command creates a <target_name>.jar. It compiles the given <source> files and adds the given <resource> files to the jar file. Source files can be java files or listing files (prefixed by @). If only resource files are given then just a jar file is created.

SOURCES
    Compiles the specified source files and adds the result in the jar file.

    Added in version 3.4: Support for response files, prefixed by @.

RESOURCES
    Added in version 3.21.

    Adds the named <resource> files to the jar by stripping the source file path and placing the file beneath <ns> within the jar.

    For example:

        RESOURCES NAMESPACE "/com/my/namespace" "a/path/to/resource.txt"

    results in a resource accessible via /com/my/namespace/resource.txt within the jar.

    Resources may be added without adjusting the namespace by adding them to the list of SOURCES (original behavior), in this case, resource paths must be relative to CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR. Adding resources without using the RESOURCES parameter in out of source builds will almost certainly result in confusion.

    NOTE: Adding resources via the SOURCES parameter relies upon a hard-coded list of file extensions which are tested to determine whether they compile (e.g. File.java). SOURCES files which match the extensions are compiled. Files which do not match are treated as resources. To include uncompiled resources matching those file extensions use the RESOURCES parameter.

INCLUDE_JARS
    The list of jars are added to the classpath when compiling the java sources and also to the dependencies of the target. INCLUDE_JARS also accepts other target names created by add_jar(). For backwards compatibility, jar files listed as sources are ignored (as they have been since the first version of this module).

ENTRY_POINT
    Defines an entry point in the jar file.

VERSION
    Adds a version to the target output name.

    The following example will create a jar file with the name shibboleet-1.2.0.jar and will create a symlink shibboleet.jar pointing to the jar with the version information.

        add_jar(shibboleet shibbotleet.java VERSION 1.2.0)

MANIFEST
    Defines a custom manifest for the jar.

OUTPUT_NAME
    Specify a different output name for the target.

OUTPUT_DIR
    Sets the directory where the jar file will be generated. If not specified, CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR is used as the output directory.

GENERATE_NATIVE_HEADERS
    Added in version 3.11.

    Generates native header files for methods declared as native. These files provide the connective glue that allow your Java and C code to interact. An INTERFACE target will be created for an easy usage of generated files. Sub-option DESTINATION can be used to specify the output directory for generated header files.

    This option requires, at least, version 1.8 of the JDK.

    For an optimum usage of this option, it is recommended to include module JNI before any call to add_jar(). The produced target for native headers can then be used to compile C/C++ sources with the target_link_libraries() command.

        find_package(JNI)
        add_jar(foo foo.java GENERATE_NATIVE_HEADERS foo-native)
        add_library(bar bar.cpp)
        target_link_libraries(bar PRIVATE foo-native)

    Added in version 3.20: DESTINATION sub-option now supports the possibility to specify different output directories for BUILD and INSTALL steps. If BUILD directory is not specified, a default directory will be used.

    To export the interface target generated by GENERATE_NATIVE_HEADERS option, sub-option INSTALL of DESTINATION is required:

        add_jar(foo foo.java GENERATE_NATIVE_HEADERS foo-native
                             DESTINATION INSTALL include)
        install(TARGETS foo-native EXPORT native)
        install(DIRECTORY "$<TARGET_PROPERTY:foo-native,NATIVE_HEADERS_DIRECTORY>/"
                DESTINATION include)
        install(EXPORT native DESTINATION /to/export NAMESPACE foo)

    Some variables can be set to customize the behavior of add_jar() as well as the java compiler:

CMAKE_JAVA_COMPILE_FLAGS
    Specify additional flags to java compiler.

CMAKE_JAVA_INCLUDE_PATH
    Specify additional paths to the class path.

CMAKE_JNI_TARGET
    If the target is a JNI library, sets this boolean variable to TRUE to enable creation of a JNI symbolic link (see also install_jni_symlink()).

CMAKE_JAR_CLASSES_PREFIX
    If multiple jars should be produced from the same java source filetree, to prevent the accumulation of duplicate class files in subsequent jars, set/reset CMAKE_JAR_CLASSES_PREFIX prior to calling the add_jar():

        set(CMAKE_JAR_CLASSES_PREFIX com/redhat/foo)
        add_jar(foo foo.java)
        set(CMAKE_JAR_CLASSES_PREFIX com/redhat/bar)
        add_jar(bar bar.java)

    The add_jar() function sets the following target properties on <target_name>:

INSTALL_FILES
    The files which should be installed. This is used by install_jar().

JNI_SYMLINK
    The JNI symlink which should be installed. This is used by install_jni_symlink().

JAR_FILE
    The location of the jar file so that you can include it.

CLASSDIR
    The directory where the class files can be found. For example to use them with javah.

NATIVE_HEADERS_DIRECTORY
    Added in version 3.20.

    The directory where native headers are generated. Defined when option GENERATE_NATIVE_HEADERS is specified.

install_jar
    This command installs the jar file to the given destination:

        install_jar(<target_name> <destination>)
        install_jar(<target_name> DESTINATION <destination> [COMPONENT <component>])

    This command installs the <target_name> file to the given <destination>. It should be called in the same scope as add_jar() or it will fail.

    Added in version 3.4: The second signature with DESTINATION and COMPONENT options.

DESTINATION
    Specify the directory on disk to which a file will be installed.

COMPONENT
    Specify an installation component name with which the install rule is associated, such as "runtime" or "development".

    The install_jar() command sets the following target properties on <target_name>:

INSTALL_DESTINATION
    Holds the <destination> as described above, and is used by install_jar_exports().

install_jni_symlink
    Installs JNI symlinks for target generated by add_jar():

        install_jni_symlink(<target_name> <destination>)
        install_jni_symlink(<target_name> DESTINATION <destination> [COMPONENT <component>])

    This command installs the <target_name> JNI symlinks to the given <destination>. It should be called in the same scope as add_jar() or it will fail.

    Added in version 3.4: The second signature with DESTINATION and COMPONENT options.

DESTINATION
    Specify the directory on disk to which a file will be installed.

COMPONENT
    Specify an installation component name with which the install rule is associated, such as "runtime" or "development".

    Utilize the following commands to create a JNI symbolic link:

        set(CMAKE_JNI_TARGET TRUE)
        add_jar(shibboleet shibbotleet.java VERSION 1.2.0)
        install_jar(shibboleet ${LIB_INSTALL_DIR}/shibboleet)
        install_jni_symlink(shibboleet ${JAVA_LIB_INSTALL_DIR})

  Header Generation

create_javah
    Added in version 3.4.

    Generates C header files for java classes:

        create_javah(TARGET <target> | GENERATED_FILES <VAR>
                     CLASSES <class>...
                     [CLASSPATH <classpath>...]
                     [DEPENDS <depend>...]
                     [OUTPUT_NAME <path>|OUTPUT_DIR <path>]
                     )

    Deprecated since version 3.11: This command will no longer be supported starting with version 10 of the JDK due to the suppression of javah tool. The add_jar(GENERATE_NATIVE_HEADERS) command should be used instead.

    Create C header files from java classes. These files provide the connective glue that allow your Java and C code to interact.

    There are two main signatures for create_javah(). The first signature returns generated files through variable specified by the GENERATED_FILES option. For example:

        create_javah(GENERATED_FILES files_headers
          CLASSES org.cmake.HelloWorld
          CLASSPATH hello.jar
        )

    The second signature for create_javah() creates a target which encapsulates header files generation. E.g.

        create_javah(TARGET target_headers
          CLASSES org.cmake.HelloWorld
          CLASSPATH hello.jar
        )

    Both signatures share same options.

CLASSES
    Specifies Java classes used to generate headers.

CLASSPATH
    Specifies various paths to look up classes. Here .class files, jar files or targets created by command add_jar can be used.

DEPENDS
    Targets on which the javah target depends.

OUTPUT_NAME
    Concatenates the resulting header files for all the classes listed by option CLASSES into <path>. Same behavior as option -o of javah tool.

OUTPUT_DIR
    Sets the directory where the header files will be generated. Same behavior as option -d of javah tool. If not specified, CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR is used as the output directory.

  Exporting JAR Targets

install_jar_exports
    Added in version 3.7.

    Installs a target export file:

        install_jar_exports(TARGETS <jars>...
                            [NAMESPACE <namespace>]
                            FILE <filename>
                            DESTINATION <destination> [COMPONENT <component>])

    This command installs a target export file <filename> for the named jar targets to the given <destination> directory. Its function is similar to that of install(EXPORT).

TARGETS
    List of targets created by add_jar() command.

NAMESPACE
    Added in version 3.9.

    The <namespace> value will be prepend to the target names as they are written to the import file.

FILE
    Specify name of the export file.

DESTINATION
    Specify the directory on disk to which a file will be installed.

COMPONENT
    Specify an installation component name with which the install rule is associated, such as "runtime" or "development".

export_jars
    Added in version 3.7.

    Writes a target export file:

        export_jars(TARGETS <jars>...
                    [NAMESPACE <namespace>]
                    FILE <filename>)

    This command writes a target export file <filename> for the named <jars> targets. Its function is similar to that of export().

TARGETS
    List of targets created by add_jar() command.

NAMESPACE
    Added in version 3.9.

    The <namespace> value will be prepend to the target names as they are written to the import file.

FILE
    Specify name of the export file.

  Finding JARs

find_jar
    Finds the specified jar file:

        find_jar(<VAR>
                 <name> | NAMES <name1> [<name2>...]
                 [PATHS <path1> [<path2>... ENV <var>]]
                 [VERSIONS <version1> [<version2>]]
                 [DOC "cache documentation string"]
                )

    This command is used to find a full path to the named jar. A cache entry named by <VAR> is created to store the result of this command. If the full path to a jar is found the result is stored in the variable and the search will not repeated unless the variable is cleared. If nothing is found, the result will be <VAR>-NOTFOUND, and the search will be attempted again next time find_jar() is invoked with the same variable.

NAMES
    Specify one or more possible names for the jar file.

PATHS
    Specify directories to search in addition to the default locations. The ENV var sub-option reads paths from a system environment variable.

VERSIONS
    Specify jar versions.

DOC Specify the documentation string for the <VAR> cache entry.

  Creating Java Documentation

create_javadoc
    Creates java documentation based on files and packages:

        create_javadoc(<VAR>
                       (PACKAGES <pkg1> [<pkg2>...] | FILES <file1> [<file2>...])
                       [SOURCEPATH <sourcepath>]
                       [CLASSPATH <classpath>]
                       [INSTALLPATH <install path>]
                       [DOCTITLE <the documentation title>]
                       [WINDOWTITLE <the title of the document>]
                       [AUTHOR (TRUE|FALSE)]
                       [USE (TRUE|FALSE)]
                       [VERSION (TRUE|FALSE)]
                       )

    The create_javadoc() command can be used to create java documentation. There are two main signatures for create_javadoc().

    The first signature works with package names on a path with source files:

        create_javadoc(my_example_doc
                       PACKAGES com.example.foo com.example.bar
                       SOURCEPATH "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}"
                       CLASSPATH ${CMAKE_JAVA_INCLUDE_PATH}
                       WINDOWTITLE "My example"
                       DOCTITLE "<h1>My example</h1>"
                       AUTHOR TRUE
                       USE TRUE
                       VERSION TRUE
                      )

    The second signature for create_javadoc() works on a given list of files:

        create_javadoc(my_example_doc
                       FILES java/A.java java/B.java
                       CLASSPATH ${CMAKE_JAVA_INCLUDE_PATH}
                       WINDOWTITLE "My example"
                       DOCTITLE "<h1>My example</h1>"
                       AUTHOR TRUE
                       USE TRUE
                       VERSION TRUE
                      )

    Both signatures share most of the options. For more details please read the javadoc manpage.

PACKAGES
    Specify java packages.

FILES
    Specify java source files. If relative paths are specified, they are relative to CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR.

SOURCEPATH
    Specify the directory where to look for packages. By default, CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR directory is used.

CLASSPATH
    Specify where to find user class files. Same behavior as option -classpath of javadoc tool.

INSTALLPATH
    Specify where to install the java documentation. If you specified, the documentation will be installed to ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/share/javadoc/<VAR>.

DOCTITLE
    Specify the title to place near the top of the overview summary file. Same behavior as option -doctitle of javadoc tool.

WINDOWTITLE
    Specify the title to be placed in the HTML <title> tag. Same behavior as option -windowtitle of javadoc tool.

AUTHOR
    When value TRUE is specified, includes the @author text in the generated docs. Same behavior as option -author of javadoc tool.

USE When value TRUE is specified, creates class and package usage pages. Includes one Use page for each documented class and package. Same behavior as option -use of javadoc tool.

VERSION
    When value TRUE is specified, includes the version text in the generated docs. Same behavior as option -version of javadoc tool.

  UseSWIG

This file provides support for SWIG. It is assumed that FindSWIG module has already been loaded.

  CMake Commands

The following command is defined for use with SWIG:

swig_add_library
    Added in version 3.8.

    Define swig module with given name and specified language:

        swig_add_library(<name>
                         [TYPE <SHARED|MODULE|STATIC|USE_BUILD_SHARED_LIBS>]
                         LANGUAGE <language>
                         [NO_PROXY]
                         [OUTPUT_DIR <directory>]
                         [OUTFILE_DIR <directory>]
                         SOURCES <file>...
                        )

    Targets created with the swig_add_library command have the same capabilities as targets created with the add_library() command, so those targets can be used with any command expecting a target (e.g. target_link_libraries()).

    Changed in version 3.13: This command creates a target with the specified <name> when policy CMP0078 is set to NEW. Otherwise, the legacy behavior will choose a different target name and store it in the SWIG_MODULE_<name>_REAL_NAME variable.

    Changed in version 3.15: Alternate library name (set with the OUTPUT_NAME property, for example) will be passed on to Python and CSharp wrapper libraries.

    Changed in version 3.21: Generated library use standard naming conventions for CSharp language when policy CMP0122 is set to NEW. Otherwise, the legacy behavior is applied.

    NOTE: For multi-config generators, this module does not support configuration-specific files generated by SWIG. All build configurations must result in the same generated source file.

    NOTE: For Makefile Generators, if, for some sources, the USE_SWIG_DEPENDENCIES property is FALSE, swig_add_library does not track file dependencies, so depending on the <name>_swig_compilation custom target is required for targets which require the swig-generated files to exist. Other generators may depend on the source files that would be generated by SWIG.

TYPE
    SHARED, MODULE and STATIC have the same semantic as for the add_library() command. If USE_BUILD_SHARED_LIBS is specified, the library type will be STATIC or SHARED based on whether the current value of the BUILD_SHARED_LIBS variable is ON. If no type is specified, MODULE will be used.

LANGUAGE
    Specify the target language.

    Added in version 3.1: Go and Lua language support.

    Added in version 3.2: R language support.

    Added in version 3.18: Fortran language support.

NO_PROXY
    Added in version 3.12.

    Prevent the generation of the wrapper layer (swig -noproxy option).

OUTPUT_DIR
    Added in version 3.12.

    Specify where to write the language specific files (swig -outdir option). If not given, the CMAKE_SWIG_OUTDIR variable will be used. If neither is specified, the default depends on the value of the UseSWIG_MODULE_VERSION variable as follows:

•   If UseSWIG_MODULE_VERSION is 1 or is undefined, output is written to the CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR directory.

•   If UseSWIG_MODULE_VERSION is 2, a dedicated directory will be used. The path of this directory can be retrieved from the SWIG_SUPPORT_FILES_DIRECTORY target property.

OUTFILE_DIR
    Added in version 3.12.

    Specify an output directory name where the generated source file will be placed (swig -o option). If not specified, the SWIG_OUTFILE_DIR variable will be used. If neither is specified, OUTPUT_DIR or CMAKE_SWIG_OUTDIR is used instead.

SOURCES
    List of sources for the library. Files with extension .i will be identified as sources for the SWIG tool. Other files will be handled in the standard way.

    Added in version 3.14: This behavior can be overridden by specifying the variable SWIG_SOURCE_FILE_EXTENSIONS.

    NOTE: If UseSWIG_MODULE_VERSION is set to 2, it is strongly recommended to use a dedicated directory unique to the target when either the OUTPUT_DIR option or the CMAKE_SWIG_OUTDIR variable are specified. The output directory contents are erased as part of the target build, so to prevent interference between targets or losing other important files, each target should have its own dedicated output directory.

  Properties on Source Files

Source file properties on module files must be set before the invocation of the swig_add_library command to specify special behavior of SWIG and ensure generated files will receive the required settings.

CPLUSPLUS
    Call SWIG in c++ mode. For example:

        set_property(SOURCE mymod.i PROPERTY CPLUSPLUS ON)
        swig_add_library(mymod LANGUAGE python SOURCES mymod.i)

SWIG_FLAGS
    Deprecated since version 3.12: Replaced with the fine-grained properties that follow.

    Pass custom flags to the SWIG executable.

INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES, COMPILE_DEFINITIONS and COMPILE_OPTIONS
    Added in version 3.12.

    Add custom flags to SWIG compiler and have same semantic as properties INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES, COMPILE_DEFINITIONS and COMPILE_OPTIONS.

USE_TARGET_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES
    Added in version 3.13.

    If set to TRUE, contents of target property INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES will be forwarded to SWIG compiler. If set to FALSE target property INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES will be ignored. If not set, target property SWIG_USE_TARGET_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES will be considered.

GENERATED_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES, GENERATED_COMPILE_DEFINITIONS and GENERATED_COMPILE_OPTIONS
    Added in version 3.12.

    Add custom flags to the C/C++ generated source. They will fill, respectively, properties INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES, COMPILE_DEFINITIONS and COMPILE_OPTIONS of generated C/C++ file.

DEPENDS
    Added in version 3.12.

    Specify additional dependencies to the source file.

USE_SWIG_DEPENDENCIES
    Added in version 3.20.

    If set to TRUE, implicit dependencies are generated by the swig tool itself. This property is only meaningful for Makefile, Ninja, Xcode, and Visual Studio generators. Default value is FALSE.

    Added in version 3.21: Added the support of Xcode generator.

    Added in version 3.22: Added the support of Visual Studio Generators.

SWIG_MODULE_NAME
    Specify the actual import name of the module in the target language. This is required if it cannot be scanned automatically from source or different from the module file basename. For example:

        set_property(SOURCE mymod.i PROPERTY SWIG_MODULE_NAME mymod_realname)

    Changed in version 3.14: If policy CMP0086 is set to NEW, -module <module_name> is passed to SWIG compiler.

OUTPUT_DIR
    Added in version 3.19.

    Specify where to write the language specific files (swig -outdir option) for the considered source file. If not specified, the other ways to define the output directory applies (see OUTPUT_DIR option of swig_add_library() command).

OUTFILE_DIR
    Added in version 3.19.

    Specify an output directory where the generated source file will be placed (swig -o option) for the considered source file. If not specified, OUTPUT_DIR source property will be used. If neither are specified, the other ways to define output file directory applies (see OUTFILE_DIR option of swig_add_library() command).

  Properties on Targets

Target library properties can be set to apply same configuration to all SWIG input files.

SWIG_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES, SWIG_COMPILE_DEFINITIONS and SWIG_COMPILE_OPTIONS
    Added in version 3.12.

    These properties will be applied to all SWIG input files and have same semantic as target properties INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES, COMPILE_DEFINITIONS and COMPILE_OPTIONS.

        set (UseSWIG_TARGET_NAME_PREFERENCE STANDARD)
        swig_add_library(mymod LANGUAGE python SOURCES mymod.i)
        set_property(TARGET mymod PROPERTY SWIG_COMPILE_DEFINITIONS MY_DEF1 MY_DEF2)
        set_property(TARGET mymod PROPERTY SWIG_COMPILE_OPTIONS -bla -blb)

SWIG_USE_TARGET_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES
    Added in version 3.13.

    If set to TRUE, contents of target property INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES will be forwarded to SWIG compiler. If set to FALSE or not defined, target property INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES will be ignored. This behavior can be overridden by specifying source property USE_TARGET_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES.

SWIG_GENERATED_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES, SWIG_GENERATED_COMPILE_DEFINITIONS and SWIG_GENERATED_COMPILE_OPTIONS
    Added in version 3.12.

    These properties will populate, respectively, properties INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES, COMPILE_DEFINITIONS and COMPILE_FLAGS of all generated C/C++ files.

SWIG_DEPENDS
    Added in version 3.12.

    Add dependencies to all SWIG input files.

  Read-only Target Properties

The following target properties are output properties and can be used to get information about support files generated by SWIG interface compilation.

SWIG_SUPPORT_FILES
    Added in version 3.12.

    This output property list of wrapper files generated during SWIG compilation.

        set (UseSWIG_TARGET_NAME_PREFERENCE STANDARD)
        swig_add_library(mymod LANGUAGE python SOURCES mymod.i)
        get_property(support_files TARGET mymod PROPERTY SWIG_SUPPORT_FILES)

    NOTE: Only most principal support files are listed. In case some advanced features of SWIG are used (for example %template), associated support files may not be listed. Prefer to use the SWIG_SUPPORT_FILES_DIRECTORY property to handle support files.

SWIG_SUPPORT_FILES_DIRECTORY
    Added in version 3.12.

    This output property specifies the directory where support files will be generated.

    NOTE: When source property OUTPUT_DIR is defined, multiple directories can be specified as part of SWIG_SUPPORT_FILES_DIRECTORY.

  CMake Variables

Some variables can be set to customize the behavior of swig_add_library as well as SWIG:

UseSWIG_MODULE_VERSION
    Added in version 3.12.

    Specify different behaviors for UseSWIG module.

•   Set to 1 or undefined: Legacy behavior is applied.

•   Set to 2: A new strategy is applied regarding support files: the output directory of support files is erased before SWIG interface compilation.

CMAKE_SWIG_FLAGS
    Add flags to all swig calls.

CMAKE_SWIG_OUTDIR
    Specify where to write the language specific files (swig -outdir option).

SWIG_OUTFILE_DIR
    Added in version 3.8.

    Specify an output directory name where the generated source file will be placed. If not specified, CMAKE_SWIG_OUTDIR is used.

SWIG_MODULE_<name>_EXTRA_DEPS
    Specify extra dependencies for the generated module for <name>.

SWIG_SOURCE_FILE_EXTENSIONS
    Added in version 3.14.

    Specify a list of source file extensions to override the default behavior of considering only .i files as sources for the SWIG tool. For example:

        set(SWIG_SOURCE_FILE_EXTENSIONS ".i" ".swg")

SWIG_USE_SWIG_DEPENDENCIES
    Added in version 3.20.

    If set to TRUE, implicit dependencies are generated by the swig tool itself. This variable is only meaningful for Makefile, Ninja, Xcode, and Visual Studio generators. Default value is FALSE.

    Source file property USE_SWIG_DEPENDENCIES, if not defined, will be initialized with the value of this variable.

    Added in version 3.21: Added the support of Xcode generator.

    Added in version 3.22: Added the support of Visual Studio Generators.

  Deprecated Commands

swig_link_libraries
    Deprecated since version 3.13: Use target_link_libraries() with the standard target name, or with ${SWIG_MODULE_<name>_REAL_NAME} for legacy target naming.

    Link libraries to swig module:

        swig_link_libraries(<name> <item>...)

    This command has same capabilities as target_link_libraries() command.

    NOTE: When policy CMP0078 is set to NEW, swig_add_library() creates a standard target with the specified <name> and target_link_libraries() must be used instead of this command.

    With the legacy behavior (when CMP0078 is set to OLD and the UseSWIG_TARGET_NAME_PREFERENCE variable is set to "LEGACY", or in CMake versions prior to 3.12), it is preferable to use target_link_libraries(${SWIG_MODULE_<name>_REAL_NAME} ...) instead of this command.

  UsewxWidgets

Convenience include for using wxWidgets library.

Determines if wxWidgets was FOUND and sets the appropriate libs, incdirs, flags, etc. INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES and LINK_DIRECTORIES are called.

USAGE

    # Note that for MinGW users the order of libs is important!
    find_package(wxWidgets REQUIRED net gl core base)
    include(${wxWidgets_USE_FILE})
    # and for each of your dependent executable/library targets:
    target_link_libraries(<YourTarget> ${wxWidgets_LIBRARIES})

DEPRECATED

    LINK_LIBRARIES is not called in favor of adding dependencies per target.

  FindBacktrace

Find provider for backtrace(3).

Checks if OS supports backtrace(3) via either libc or custom library. This module defines the following variables:

Backtrace_HEADER
    The header file needed for backtrace(3). Cached. Could be forcibly set by user.

Backtrace_INCLUDE_DIRS
    The include directories needed to use backtrace(3) header.

Backtrace_LIBRARIES
    The libraries (linker flags) needed to use backtrace(3), if any.

Backtrace_FOUND
    Is set if and only if backtrace(3) support detected.

    The following cache variables are also available to set or use:

Backtrace_LIBRARY
    The external library providing backtrace, if any.

Backtrace_INCLUDE_DIR
    The directory holding the backtrace(3) header.

    Typical usage is to generate of header file using configure_file() with the contents like the following:

        #cmakedefine01 Backtrace_FOUND
        #if Backtrace_FOUND
        # include <${Backtrace_HEADER}>
        #endif

    And then reference that generated header file in actual source.

  Imported Targets

Added in version 3.30.

This module defines the following IMPORTED targets:

Backtrace::Backtrace
    An interface library providing usage requirements for the found components.

  FindBISON

Find bison executable and provide a macro to generate custom build rules.

The module defines the following variables:

BISON_FOUND
    True if the program was found.

BISON_EXECUTABLE
    The path to the bison program.

BISON_VERSION
    The version of bison.

    The minimum required version of bison can be specified using the standard CMake syntax, e.g. find_package(BISON 2.1.3).

    If bison is found, the module defines the macro:

bison_target

        bison_target(<Name> <YaccInput> <CodeOutput>
                     [OPTIONS <options>...]
                     [COMPILE_FLAGS <string>]
                     [DEFINES_FILE <file>]
                     [VERBOSE [<file>]]
                     [REPORT_FILE <file>]
                     )

    which will create a custom rule to generate a parser. <YaccInput> is the path to a yacc file. <CodeOutput> is the name of the source file generated by bison. A header file can also be generated, and contains the token list.

    Changed in version 3.14: When CMP0088 is set to NEW, bison runs in the CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR directory.

    The options are:

OPTIONS <options>...
    Added in version 4.0.

    A semicolon-separated list of options added to the bison command line.

COMPILE_FLAGS <string>
    Deprecated since version 4.0.

    Space-separated bison options added to the bison command line. A ;-list will not work. This option is deprecated in favor of OPTIONS <options>....

DEFINES_FILE <file>
    Added in version 3.4.

    Specify a non-default header <file> to be generated by bison.

VERBOSE [<file>]
    Tell bison to write a report file of the grammar and parser.

    Deprecated since version 3.7: If <file> is given, it specifies path the report file is copied to. [<file>] is left for backward compatibility of this module. Use VERBOSE REPORT_FILE <file>.

REPORT_FILE <file>
    Added in version 3.7.

    Specify a non-default report <file>, if generated.

    The macro defines the following variables:

BISON_<Name>_DEFINED
    True if the macro ran successfully.

BISON_<Name>_INPUT
    The input source file, an alias for <YaccInput>.

BISON_<Name>_OUTPUT_SOURCE
    The source file generated by bison.

BISON_<Name>_OUTPUT_HEADER
    The header file generated by bison.

BISON_<Name>_OUTPUTS
    All files generated by bison including the source, the header and the report.

BISON_<Name>_OPTIONS
    Added in version 4.0.

    Options used in the bison command line.

BISON_<Name>_COMPILE_FLAGS
    Deprecated since version 4.0.

    Options used in the bison command line. This variable is deprecated in favor of BISON_<Name>_OPTIONS variable.

  Examples

    find_package(BISON)
    bison_target(MyParser parser.y ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/parser.cpp
                 DEFINES_FILE ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/parser.h)
    add_executable(Foo main.cpp ${BISON_MyParser_OUTPUTS})

Adding additional command-line options to the bison executable can be passed as a list. For example, adding the -Wall option to report all warnings, and --no-lines (-l) to not generate #line directives.

    find_package(BISON)
    if(BISON_FOUND)
      bison_target(MyParser parser.y parser.cpp OPTIONS -Wall --no-lines)
    endif()

Generator expressions can be used in OPTIONS <options.... For example, to add the --debug (-t) option only for the Debug build type:

    find_package(BISON)
    if(BISON_FOUND)
      bison_target(MyParser parser.y parser.cpp OPTIONS $<$<CONFIG:Debug>:-t>)
    endif()

  Intel MKL

To use the Intel MKL implementation of BLAS, a project must enable at least one of the C or CXX languages. Set BLA_VENDOR to an Intel MKL variant either on the command-line as -DBLA_VENDOR=Intel10_64lp or in project code:

    set(BLA_VENDOR Intel10_64lp)
    find_package(BLAS)

In order to build a project using Intel MKL, and end user must first establish an Intel MKL environment:

Intel oneAPI
    Source the full Intel environment script:

        . /opt/intel/oneapi/setvars.sh

    Or, source the MKL component environment script:

        . /opt/intel/oneapi/mkl/latest/env/vars.sh

Intel Classic
    Source the full Intel environment script:

        . /opt/intel/bin/compilervars.sh intel64

    Or, source the MKL component environment script:

        . /opt/intel/mkl/bin/mklvars.sh intel64

    The above environment scripts set the MKLROOT environment variable to the top of the MKL installation. They also add the location of the runtime libraries to the dynamic library loader environment variable for your platform (e.g. LD_LIBRARY_PATH). This is necessary for programs linked against MKL to run.

    NOTE: As of Intel oneAPI 2021.2, loading only the MKL component does not make all of its dependencies available. In particular, the iomp5 library must be available separately, or provided by also loading the compiler component environment:

        . /opt/intel/oneapi/compiler/latest/env/vars.sh

  FindCoin3D

Find Coin3D (Open Inventor)

Coin3D is an implementation of the Open Inventor API. It provides data structures and algorithms for 3D visualization.

This module defines the following variables

    COIN3D_FOUND         - system has Coin3D - Open Inventor
    COIN3D_INCLUDE_DIRS  - where the Inventor include directory can be found
    COIN3D_LIBRARIES     - Link to this to use Coin3D

  FindCUDAToolkit

Added in version 3.17.

This script locates the NVIDIA CUDA toolkit and the associated libraries, but does not require the CUDA language be enabled for a given project. This module does not search for the NVIDIA CUDA Samples.

Added in version 3.19: QNX support.

  Search Behavior

The CUDA Toolkit search behavior uses the following order:

1.  If the CUDA language has been enabled we will use the directory containing the compiler as the first search location for nvcc.

2.  If the variable CMAKE_CUDA_COMPILER or the environment variable CUDACXX is defined, it will be used as the path to the nvcc executable.

3.  If the CUDAToolkit_ROOT cmake configuration variable (e.g., -DCUDAToolkit_ROOT=/some/path) or environment variable is defined, it will be searched. If both an environment variable and a configuration variable are specified, the configuration variable takes precedence.

    The directory specified here must be such that the executable nvcc or the appropriate version.txt or version.json file can be found underneath the specified directory.

4.  If the CUDA_PATH environment variable is defined, it will be searched for nvcc.

5.  The user's path is searched for nvcc using find_program(). If this is found, no subsequent search attempts are performed. Users are responsible for ensuring that the first nvcc to show up in the path is the desired path in the event that multiple CUDA Toolkits are installed.

6.  On Unix systems, if the symbolic link /usr/local/cuda exists, this is used. No subsequent search attempts are performed. No default symbolic link location exists for the Windows platform.

7.  The platform specific default install locations are searched. If exactly one candidate is found, this is used. The default CUDA Toolkit install locations searched are:
    Platform | Search Pattern
    macOS | /Developer/NVIDIA/CUDA-X.Y
    Other Unix | /usr/local/cuda-X.Y
    Windows | C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\vX.Y

    Where X.Y would be a specific version of the CUDA Toolkit, such as /usr/local/cuda-9.0 or C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v9.0

    NOTE: When multiple CUDA Toolkits are installed in the default location of a system (e.g., both /usr/local/cuda-9.0 and /usr/local/cuda-10.0 exist but the /usr/local/cuda symbolic link does not exist), this package is marked as not found.

    There are too many factors involved in making an automatic decision in the presence of multiple CUDA Toolkits being installed. In this situation, users are encouraged to either (1) set CUDAToolkit_ROOT or (2) ensure that the correct nvcc executable shows up in $PATH for find_program() to find.

  Arguments

[<version>]
    The [<version>] argument requests a version with which the package found should be compatible. See find_package version format for more details.

  Options

REQUIRED
    If specified, configuration will error if a suitable CUDA Toolkit is not found.

QUIET
    If specified, the search for a suitable CUDA Toolkit will not produce any messages.

EXACT
    If specified, the CUDA Toolkit is considered found only if the exact VERSION specified is recovered.

•   Invoke the testgen executable to autogenerate foo_test.cc in the binary tree from "foo_test.h" in the current source directory.

•   Create an executable and test called unittest_foo.

        find_package(CxxTest)
        if(CXXTEST_FOUND)
          include_directories(${CXXTEST_INCLUDE_DIR})
          enable_testing()
          CXXTEST_ADD_TEST(unittest_foo foo_test.cc
                           ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/foo_test.h)

        };

  FindCygwin

Find Cygwin, a POSIX-compatible environment that runs natively on Microsoft Windows

  FindDCMTK

Find DICOM ToolKit (DCMTK) libraries and applications

The module defines the following variables:

    DCMTK_INCLUDE_DIRS  - Directories to include to use DCMTK
    DCMTK_LIBRARIES     - Files to link against to use DCMTK
    DCMTK_FOUND         - If false, don't try to use DCMTK
    DCMTK_DIR           - (optional) Source directory for DCMTK

  Compatibility

This module is able to find a version of DCMTK that does or does not export a DCMTKConfig.cmake file. It applies a two step process:

•   Step 1: Attempt to find DCMTK version providing a DCMTKConfig.cmake file.

•   Step 2: If step 1 failed, rely on FindDCMTK.cmake to set DCMTK_* variables details below.

    Recent DCMTK provides a DCMTKConfig.cmake package configuration file. To exclusively use the package configuration file (recommended when possible), pass the NO_MODULE option to find_package(). For example, find_package(DCMTK NO_MODULE). This requires official DCMTK snapshot 3.6.1_20140617 or newer.

    Until all clients update to the more recent DCMTK, build systems will need to support different versions of DCMTK.

    On any given system, the following combinations of DCMTK versions could be considered:
     | SYSTEM DCMTK | LOCAL DCMTK | Supported ?
    Case A | NA | [ ] DCMTKConfig | YES
    Case B | NA | [X] DCMTKConfig | YES
    Case C | [ ] DCMTKConfig | NA | YES
    Case D | [X] DCMTKConfig | NA | YES
    Case E | [ ] DCMTKConfig | [ ] DCMTKConfig | YES (*)
    Case F | [X] DCMTKConfig | [ ] DCMTKConfig | NO
    Case G | [ ] DCMTKConfig | [X] DCMTKConfig | YES
    Case H | [X] DCMTKConfig | [X] DCMTKConfig | YES
    (*) See Troubleshooting section.

    Legend: NA ...............: Means that no System or Local DCMTK is available

    [ ] DCMTKConfig ..: Means that the version of DCMTK does NOT export a DCMTKConfig.cmake file.

    [X] DCMTKConfig ..: Means that the version of DCMTK exports a DCMTKConfig.cmake file.

  Troubleshooting

What to do if my project finds a different version of DCMTK?

Remove DCMTK entry from the CMake cache per find_package() documentation.

  FindDevIL

This module locates the Developer's Image Library, DevIL.

  Imported Targets

Added in version 3.21.

This module defines the IMPORTED targets:

DevIL::IL
    Defined if the system has DevIL.

DevIL::ILU
    Defined if the system has DevIL Utilities.

DevIL::ILUT
    Defined if the system has DevIL Utility Toolkit.

  Result Variables

This module sets:

IL_LIBRARIES
    The name of the IL library. These include the full path to the core DevIL library. This one has to be linked into the application.

ILU_LIBRARIES
    The name of the ILU library. Again, the full path. This library is for filters and effects, not actual loading. It doesn't have to be linked if the functionality it provides is not used.

ILUT_LIBRARIES
    The name of the ILUT library. Full path. This part of the library interfaces with OpenGL. It is not strictly needed in applications.

IL_INCLUDE_DIR
    where to find the il.h, ilu.h and ilut.h files.

DevIL_FOUND
    This is set to TRUE if all the above variables were set. This will be set to false if ILU or ILUT are not found, even if they are not needed. In most systems, if one library is found all the others are as well. That's the way the DevIL developers release it.

DevIL_ILUT_FOUND
    Added in version 3.21.

    This is set to TRUE if the ILUT library is found.

  FindDoxygen

Doxygen is a documentation generation tool (see https://www.doxygen.nl). This module looks for Doxygen and some optional tools it supports:

dot Graphviz dot utility used to render various graphs.

mscgen
    Message Chart Generator utility used by Doxygen's \msc and \mscfile commands.

dia Dia the diagram editor used by Doxygen's \diafile command.

    Added in version 3.9: These tools are available as components in the find_package() command. For example:

        # Require dot, treat the other components as optional
        find_package(Doxygen
                     REQUIRED dot
                     OPTIONAL_COMPONENTS mscgen dia)

    The following variables are defined by this module:

DOXYGEN_FOUND
    True if the doxygen executable was found.

DOXYGEN_VERSION
    The version reported by doxygen --version.

  Imported Targets

Added in version 3.9.

The module defines IMPORTED targets for Doxygen and each component found. These can be used as part of custom commands, etc. and should be preferred over old-style (and now deprecated) variables like DOXYGEN_EXECUTABLE. The following import targets are defined if their corresponding executable could be found (the component import targets will only be defined if that component was requested):

•   Doxygen::doxygen

•   Doxygen::dot

•   Doxygen::mscgen

•   Doxygen::dia

  Functions

doxygen_add_docs
    Added in version 3.9.

    This function is intended as a convenience for adding a target for generating documentation with Doxygen. It aims to provide sensible defaults so that projects can generally just provide the input files and directories and that will be sufficient to give sensible results. The function supports the ability to customize the Doxygen configuration used to build the documentation.

        doxygen_add_docs(targetName
            [filesOrDirs...]
            [ALL]
            [USE_STAMP_FILE]
            [WORKING_DIRECTORY dir]
            [COMMENT comment]
            [CONFIG_FILE filename])

    The function constructs a Doxyfile and defines a custom target that runs Doxygen on that generated file. The listed files and directories are used as the INPUT of the generated Doxyfile and they can contain wildcards. Any files that are listed explicitly will also be added as SOURCES of the custom target so they will show up in an IDE project's source list.

    So that relative input paths work as expected, by default the working directory of the Doxygen command will be the current source directory (i.e. CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR). This can be overridden with the WORKING_DIRECTORY option to change the directory used as the relative base point. Note also that Doxygen's default behavior is to strip the working directory from relative paths in the generated documentation (see the STRIP_FROM_PATH Doxygen config option for details).

    If provided, the optional comment will be passed as the COMMENT for the add_custom_target() command used to create the custom target internally.

    Added in version 3.27: If CONFIG_FILE is set, the given file provided with full-path will be used as doxygen configuration file

    Added in version 3.12: If ALL is set, the target will be added to the default build target.

    Added in version 3.16: If USE_STAMP_FILE is set, the custom command defined by this function will create a stamp file with the name <targetName>.stamp in the current binary directory whenever doxygen is re-run. With this option present, all items in <filesOrDirs> must be files (i.e. no directories, symlinks or wildcards) and each of the files must exist at the time doxygen_add_docs() is called. An error will be raised if any of the items listed is missing or is not a file when USE_STAMP_FILE is given. A dependency will be created on each of the files so that doxygen will only be re-run if one of the files is updated. Without the USE_STAMP_FILE option, doxygen will always be re-run if the <targetName> target is built regardless of whether anything listed in <filesOrDirs> has changed.

    The contents of the generated Doxyfile can be customized by setting CMake variables before calling doxygen_add_docs(). Any variable with a name of the form DOXYGEN_<tag> will have its value substituted for the corresponding <tag> configuration option in the Doxyfile. See the Doxygen documentation for the full list of supported configuration options.

    Some of Doxygen's defaults are overridden to provide more appropriate behavior for a CMake project. Each of the following will be explicitly set unless the variable already has a value before doxygen_add_docs() is called (with some exceptions noted):

DOXYGEN_HAVE_DOT
    Set to YES if the dot component was requested and it was found, NO otherwise. Any existing value of DOXYGEN_HAVE_DOT is ignored.

DOXYGEN_DOT_MULTI_TARGETS
    Set to YES by this module (note that this requires a dot version newer than 1.8.10). This option is only meaningful if DOXYGEN_HAVE_DOT is also set to YES.

DOXYGEN_GENERATE_LATEX
    Set to NO by this module.

DOXYGEN_WARN_FORMAT
    For Visual Studio based generators, this is set to the form recognized by the Visual Studio IDE: $file($line) : $text. For all other generators, Doxygen's default value is not overridden.

DOXYGEN_PROJECT_NAME
    Populated with the name of the current project (i.e. PROJECT_NAME).

DOXYGEN_PROJECT_NUMBER
    Populated with the version of the current project (i.e. PROJECT_VERSION).

DOXYGEN_PROJECT_BRIEF
    Populated with the description of the current project (i.e. PROJECT_DESCRIPTION).

DOXYGEN_INPUT
    Projects should not set this variable. It will be populated with the set of files and directories passed to doxygen_add_docs(), thereby providing consistent behavior with the other built-in commands like add_executable(), add_library() and add_custom_target(). If a variable named DOXYGEN_INPUT is set by the project, it will be ignored and a warning will be issued.

DOXYGEN_RECURSIVE
    Set to YES by this module.

DOXYGEN_EXCLUDE_PATTERNS
    If the set of inputs includes directories, this variable will specify patterns used to exclude files from them. The following patterns are added by doxygen_add_docs() to ensure CMake-specific files and directories are not included in the input. If the project sets DOXYGEN_EXCLUDE_PATTERNS, those contents are merged with these additional patterns rather than replacing them:

        */.git/*
        */.svn/*
        */.hg/*
        */CMakeFiles/*
        */_CPack_Packages/*
        DartConfiguration.tcl
        CMakeLists.txt
        CMakeCache.txt

DOXYGEN_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY
    Set to CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR by this module. Note that if the project provides its own value for this and it is a relative path, it will be converted to an absolute path relative to the current binary directory. This is necessary because doxygen will normally be run from a directory within the source tree so that relative source paths work as expected. If this directory does not exist, it will be recursively created prior to executing the doxygen commands.

    To change any of these defaults or override any other Doxygen config option, set relevant variables before calling doxygen_add_docs(). For example:

        set(DOXYGEN_GENERATE_HTML NO)
        set(DOXYGEN_GENERATE_MAN YES)
        doxygen_add_docs(
            doxygen
            ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}
            COMMENT "Generate man pages"
        )

    A number of Doxygen config options accept lists of values, but Doxygen requires them to be separated by whitespace. CMake variables hold lists as a string with items separated by semi-colons, so a conversion needs to be performed. The doxygen_add_docs() command specifically checks the following Doxygen config options and will convert their associated CMake variable's contents into the required form if set. CMake variables are named DOXYGEN_<name> for the Doxygen settings specified here.

•   ABBREVIATE_BRIEF

    Added in version 3.11: There are situations where it may be undesirable for a particular config option to be automatically quoted by doxygen_add_docs(), such as ALIASES which may need to include its own embedded quoting. The DOXYGEN_VERBATIM_VARS variable can be used to specify a list of Doxygen variables (including the leading DOXYGEN_ prefix) which should not be quoted. The project is then responsible for ensuring that those variables' values make sense when placed directly in the Doxygen input file. In the case of list variables, list items are still separated by spaces, it is only the automatic quoting that is skipped. For example, the following allows doxygen_add_docs() to apply quoting to DOXYGEN_PROJECT_BRIEF, but not each item in the DOXYGEN_ALIASES list (bracket syntax can also be used to make working with embedded quotes easier):

        set(DOXYGEN_PROJECT_BRIEF "String with spaces")
        set(DOXYGEN_ALIASES
            [[somealias="@some_command param"]]
            "anotherAlias=@foobar"
        )
        set(DOXYGEN_VERBATIM_VARS DOXYGEN_ALIASES)

    The resultant Doxyfile will contain the following lines:

        PROJECT_BRIEF = "String with spaces"
        ALIASES       = somealias="@some_command param" anotherAlias=@foobar

  Deprecated Result Variables

Deprecated since version 3.9.

For compatibility with previous versions of CMake, the following variables are also defined but they are deprecated and should no longer be used:

DOXYGEN_EXECUTABLE
    The path to the doxygen command. If projects need to refer to the doxygen executable directly, they should use the Doxygen::doxygen import target instead.

DOXYGEN_DOT_FOUND
    True if the dot executable was found.

DOXYGEN_DOT_EXECUTABLE
    The path to the dot command. If projects need to refer to the dot executable directly, they should use the Doxygen::dot import target instead.

DOXYGEN_DOT_PATH
    The path to the directory containing the dot executable as reported in DOXYGEN_DOT_EXECUTABLE. The path may have forward slashes even on Windows and is not suitable for direct substitution into a Doxyfile.in template. If you need this value, get the IMPORTED_LOCATION property of the Doxygen::dot target and use get_filename_component() to extract the directory part of that path. You may also want to consider using file(TO_NATIVE_PATH) to prepare the path for a Doxygen configuration file.

  Deprecated Hint Variables

Deprecated since version 3.9.

DOXYGEN_SKIP_DOT
    This variable has no effect for the component form of find_package. In backward compatibility mode (i.e. without components list) it prevents the finder module from searching for Graphviz's dot utility.

  FindEnvModules

Added in version 3.15.

Locate an environment module implementation and make commands available to CMake scripts to use them. This is compatible with both Lua-based Lmod and TCL-based EnvironmentModules.

This module is intended for the use case of setting up the compiler and library environment within a CTest Script (ctest -S). It can also be used in a CMake Script (cmake -P).

NOTE: The loaded environment will not survive past the end of the calling process. Do not use this module in project code (CMakeLists.txt files) to load a compiler environment; it will not be available during the build. Instead load the environment manually before running CMake or using the generated build system.

  Example Usage

    set(CTEST_BUILD_NAME "CrayLinux-CrayPE-Cray-dynamic")
    set(CTEST_BUILD_CONFIGURATION Release)
    set(CTEST_BUILD_FLAGS "-k -j8")
    set(CTEST_CMAKE_GENERATOR "Unix Makefiles")
    ...
    find_package(EnvModules REQUIRED)
    env_module(purge)
    env_module(load modules)
    env_module(load craype)
    env_module(load PrgEnv-cray)
    env_module(load craype-knl)
    env_module(load cray-mpich)
    env_module(load cray-libsci)
    set(ENV{CRAYPE_LINK_TYPE} dynamic)
    ...

  Result Variables

This module will set the following variables in your project:

EnvModules_FOUND
    True if a compatible environment modules framework was found.

  Cache Variables

The following cache variable will be set:

EnvModules_COMMAND
    The low level module command to use. Currently supported implementations are the Lua based Lmod and TCL based EnvironmentModules.

  Environment Variables

ENV{MODULESHOME}
    Usually set by the module environment implementation, used as a hint to locate the module command to execute.

  Provided Functions

This defines the following CMake functions for interacting with environment modules:

env_module
    Execute an arbitrary module command:

        env_module(cmd arg1 ... argN)
        env_module(
          COMMAND cmd arg1 ... argN
          [OUTPUT_VARIABLE <out-var>]
          [RESULT_VARIABLE <ret-var>]
        )

    The options are:

cmd arg1 ... argN
    The module sub-command and arguments to execute as if they were passed directly to the module command in your shell environment.

OUTPUT_VARIABLE <out-var>
    The standard output from executing the module command.

RESULT_VARIABLE <ret-var>
    The return code from executing the module command.

env_module_swap
    Swap one module for another:

        env_module_swap(out_mod in_mod
          [OUTPUT_VARIABLE <out-var>]
          [RESULT_VARIABLE <ret-var>]
        )

    This is functionally equivalent to the module swap out_mod in_mod shell command. The options are:

OUTPUT_VARIABLE <out-var>
    The standard output from executing the module command.

RESULT_VARIABLE <ret-var>
    The return code from executing the module command.

env_module_list
    Retrieve the list of currently loaded modules:

        env_module_list(<out-var>)

    This is functionally equivalent to the module list shell command. The result is stored in <out-var> as a properly formatted CMake semicolon-separated list variable.

env_module_avail
    Retrieve the list of available modules:

        env_module_avail([<mod-prefix>] <out-var>)

    This is functionally equivalent to the module avail <mod-prefix> shell command. The result is stored in <out-var> as a properly formatted CMake semicolon-separated list variable.

  FindEXPAT

Find the native Expat headers and library. Expat is a stream-oriented XML parser library written in C.

  Imported Targets

Added in version 3.10.

This module defines the following IMPORTED targets:

EXPAT::EXPAT
    The Expat expat library, if found.

  Result Variables

This module will set the following variables in your project:

EXPAT_INCLUDE_DIRS
    where to find expat.h, etc.

EXPAT_LIBRARIES
    the libraries to link against to use Expat.

EXPAT_FOUND
    true if the Expat headers and libraries were found.

  Hints

EXPAT_USE_STATIC_LIBS Added in version 3.28.

Set to TRUE to use static libraries.

Added in version 3.31: Implemented on non-Windows platforms.

  FindFLEX

Find Fast Lexical Analyzer (Flex) executable and provide a macro to generate custom build rules.

The module defines the following variables:

FLEX_FOUND
    True if flex executable is found.

FLEX_EXECUTABLE
    The path to the flex executable.

FLEX_VERSION
    The version of flex.

FLEX_LIBRARIES
    The flex libraries.

FLEX_INCLUDE_DIRS
    The path to the flex headers.

    The minimum required version of flex can be specified using the standard CMake syntax, e.g. find_package(FLEX 2.5.13).

    If flex is found on the system, the module defines the macro:

flex_target

        flex_target(<Name> <FlexInput> <FlexOutput>
                    [OPTIONS <options>...]
                    [COMPILE_FLAGS <string>]
                    [DEFINES_FILE <string>]
                    )

    which creates a custom command to generate the <FlexOutput> file from the <FlexInput> file. <Name> is an alias used to get details of this custom command.

    The options are:

OPTIONS <options>...
    Added in version 4.0.

    A semicolon-separated list of flex options added to the flex command line.

COMPILE_FLAGS <string>
    Deprecated since version 4.0.

    Space-separated flex options added to the flex command line. A ;-list will not work. This option is deprecated in favor of OPTIONS <options>....

DEFINES_FILE <string>
    Added in version 3.5.

    If flex is configured to output a header file, this option may be used to specify its name.

    Changed in version 3.17: When CMP0098 is set to NEW, flex runs in the CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR directory.

    The macro defines the following variables:

FLEX_<Name>_DEFINED
    True if the macro ran successfully.

FLEX_<Name>_OUTPUTS
    The source file generated by the custom rule, an alias for <FlexOutput>.

FLEX_<Name>_INPUT
    The flex source file, an alias for <FlexInput>.

FLEX_<Name>_OUTPUT_HEADER
    The header flex output, if any.

FLEX_<Name>_OPTIONS
    Added in version 4.0.

    Options used in the flex command line.

    Flex scanners often use tokens defined by Bison: the code generated by Flex depends of the header generated by Bison. This module also defines a macro:

add_flex_bison_dependency

        add_flex_bison_dependency(<FlexTarget> <BisonTarget>)

    which adds the required dependency between a scanner and a parser where <FlexTarget> and <BisonTarget> are the first parameters of respectively flex_target and bison_target macros.

  Examples

    find_package(BISON)
    find_package(FLEX)
    bison_target(MyParser parser.y ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/parser.cpp)
    flex_target(MyScanner lexer.l  ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/lexer.cpp)
    add_flex_bison_dependency(MyScanner MyParser)
    include_directories(${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR})
    add_executable(Foo
      Foo.cc
      ${BISON_MyParser_OUTPUTS}
      ${FLEX_MyScanner_OUTPUTS}
    )
    target_link_libraries(Foo ${FLEX_LIBRARIES})

Adding additional command-line options to the flex executable can be passed as a list. For example, adding the --warn option to report warnings, and the --noline (-L) to not generate #line directives.

    find_package(FLEX)
    if(FLEX_FOUND)
      flex_target(MyScanner lexer.l lexer.cpp OPTIONS --warn --noline)
    endif()

Generator expressions can be used in OPTIONS <options.... For example, to add the --debug (-d) option only for the Debug build type:

    find_package(FLEX)
    if(FLEX_FOUND)
      flex_target(MyScanner lexer.l lexer.cpp OPTIONS $<$<CONFIG:Debug>:--debug>)
    endif()

  Input Variables

Optional variables you can define prior to calling this module:

GTK2_DEBUG
    Enables verbose debugging of the module

GTK2_ADDITIONAL_SUFFIXES
    Allows defining additional directories to search for include files

  Example Usage

Call find_package() once. Here are some examples to pick from:

Require GTK 2.6 or later:

    find_package(GTK2 2.6 REQUIRED gtk)

Require GTK 2.10 or later and Glade:

    find_package(GTK2 2.10 REQUIRED gtk glade)

Search for GTK/GTKMM 2.8 or later:

    find_package(GTK2 2.8 COMPONENTS gtk gtkmm)

Use the results:

    if(GTK2_FOUND)
      include_directories(${GTK2_INCLUDE_DIRS})
      add_executable(mygui mygui.cc)
      target_link_libraries(mygui ${GTK2_LIBRARIES})
    endif()

  FindHDF5

Find Hierarchical Data Format (HDF5), a library for reading and writing self describing array data.

This module invokes the HDF5 wrapper compiler that should be installed alongside HDF5. Depending upon the HDF5 Configuration, the wrapper compiler is called either h5cc or h5pcc. If this succeeds, the module will then call the compiler with the show argument to see what flags are used when compiling an HDF5 client application.

The module will optionally accept the COMPONENTS argument. If no COMPONENTS are specified, then the find module will default to finding only the HDF5 C library. If one or more COMPONENTS are specified, the module will attempt to find the language bindings for the specified components. The valid components are C, CXX, Fortran, HL. HL refers to the "high-level" HDF5 functions for C and Fortran. If the COMPONENTS argument is not given, the module will attempt to find only the C bindings. For example, to use Fortran HDF5 and HDF5-HL functions, do: find_package(HDF5 COMPONENTS Fortran HL).

This module will read the variable HDF5_USE_STATIC_LIBRARIES to determine whether or not to prefer a static link to a dynamic link for HDF5 and all of it's dependencies. To use this feature, make sure that the HDF5_USE_STATIC_LIBRARIES variable is set before the call to find_package.

Added in version 3.10: Support for HDF5_USE_STATIC_LIBRARIES on Windows.

Both the serial and parallel HDF5 wrappers are considered and the first directory to contain either one will be used. In the event that both appear in the same directory the serial version is preferentially selected. This behavior can be reversed by setting the variable HDF5_PREFER_PARALLEL to TRUE.

In addition to finding the includes and libraries required to compile an HDF5 client application, this module also makes an effort to find tools that come with the HDF5 distribution that may be useful for regression testing.

    Ice_<C>_LIBRARIES - libraries for component

Note that <C> is the uppercased name of the component.

This module reads hints about search results from:

    Ice_HOME - the root of the Ice installation

The environment variable ICE_HOME may also be used; the Ice_HOME variable takes precedence.

NOTE: On Windows, Ice 3.7.0 and later provide libraries via the NuGet package manager. Appropriate NuGet packages will be searched for using CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH, or alternatively Ice_HOME may be set to the location of a specific NuGet package to restrict the search.

The following cache variables may also be set:

    Ice_<P>_EXECUTABLE - the path to executable <P>
    Ice_INCLUDE_DIR - the directory containing the Ice headers
    Ice_SLICE_DIR - the directory containing the Ice slice interface
                    definitions
    Ice_<C>_LIBRARY - the library for component <C>

NOTE: In most cases none of the above variables will require setting, unless multiple Ice versions are available and a specific version is required. On Windows, the most recent version of Ice will be found through the registry. On Unix, the programs, headers and libraries will usually be in standard locations, but Ice_SLICE_DIRS might not be automatically detected (commonly known locations are searched). All the other variables are defaulted using Ice_HOME, if set. It's possible to set Ice_HOME and selectively specify alternative locations for the other components; this might be required for e.g. newer versions of Visual Studio if the heuristics are not sufficient to identify the correct programs and libraries for the specific Visual Studio version.

Other variables one may set to control this module are:

    Ice_DEBUG - Set to ON to enable debug output from FindIce.

  FindIconv

Added in version 3.11.

    Added in version 3.21.

    The minor version of iconv

Iconv_IS_BUILT_IN
    A variable indicating whether iconv support is stemming from the C library or not. Even if the C library provides iconv(), the presence of an external libiconv implementation might lead to this being false.

    Additionally, the following IMPORTED target is being provided:

Iconv::Iconv
    Imported target for using iconv.

    The following cache variables may also be set:

Iconv_INCLUDE_DIR
    The directory containing the iconv headers.

Iconv_LIBRARY
    The iconv library (if not implicitly given in the C library).

    NOTE: On POSIX platforms, iconv might be part of the C library and the cache variables Iconv_INCLUDE_DIR and Iconv_LIBRARY might be empty.

    NOTE: Some libiconv implementations don't embed the version number in their header files. In this case the variables Iconv_VERSION* will be empty.

This module finds if Java is installed and determines where the include files and libraries are. It also determines what the name of the library is. The caller may set variable JAVA_HOME to specify a Java installation prefix explicitly.

Added in version 3.24: Added imported targets, components AWT, JVM, and Android NDK support. If no components are specified, the module defaults to an empty components list while targeting Android, and all available components otherwise.

When using Android NDK, the corresponding package version is reported and a specific release can be requested. At Android API level 31 and above, the additional NativeHelper component can be requested. NativeHelper is also exposed as an implicit dependency of the JVM component (only if this does not cause a conflict) which provides a uniform access to JVM functions.

  Imported Targets

Added in version 3.24.

JNI::JNI
    Main JNI target, defined only if jni.h was found.

JNI::AWT
    Java AWT Native Interface (JAWT) library, defined only if component AWT was found.

JNI::JVM
    Java Virtual Machine (JVM) library, defined only if component JVM was found.

JNI::NativeHelper
    When targeting Android API level 31 and above, the import target will provide access to libnativehelper.so that exposes JVM functions such as JNI_CreateJavaVM.

  Result Variables

  FindMatlab

Finds Matlab or Matlab Compiler Runtime (MCR) and provides Matlab tools, libraries and compilers to CMake.

This package primary purpose is to find the libraries associated with Matlab or the MCR in order to be able to build Matlab extensions (mex files). It can also be used:

•   to run specific commands in Matlab in case Matlab is available

•   for declaring Matlab unit test

•   to retrieve various information from Matlab (mex extensions, versions and release queries, ...)

    Added in version 3.12: Added Matlab Compiler Runtime (MCR) support.

    The module supports the following components:

•   ENG_LIBRARY and MAT_LIBRARY: respectively the ENG and MAT libraries of Matlab

•   MAIN_PROGRAM the Matlab binary program. Note that this component is not available on the MCR version, and will yield an error if the MCR is found instead of the regular Matlab installation.

•   MEX_COMPILER the MEX compiler.

•   MCC_COMPILER the MCC compiler, included with the Matlab Compiler add-on.

•   SIMULINK the Simulink environment.

    Added in version 3.7: Added the MAT_LIBRARY component.

    Added in version 3.13: Added the ENGINE_LIBRARY, DATAARRAY_LIBRARY and MCC_COMPILER components.

    Changed in version 3.14: Removed the MX_LIBRARY, ENGINE_LIBRARY and DATAARRAY_LIBRARY components. These libraries are found unconditionally.

    Added in version 3.30: Added support for specifying a version range to find_package() and added support for specifying REGISTRY_VIEW to find_package(), matlab_extract_all_installed_versions_from_registry() and matlab_get_all_valid_matlab_roots_from_registry(). The default behavior remained unchanged, by using the registry view TARGET.

    NOTE: The version given to the find_package() directive is the Matlab version, which should not be confused with the Matlab release name (e.g. R2023b). The matlab_get_version_from_release_name() and matlab_get_release_name_from_version() provide a mapping between the release name and the version.

    The variable Matlab_ROOT_DIR may be specified in order to give the path of the desired Matlab version. Otherwise, the behavior is platform specific:

•   Windows: The installed versions of Matlab/MCR are retrieved from the Windows registry. The REGISTRY_VIEW argument may optionally be specified to manually control whether 32bit or 64bit versions shall be searched for.

•   macOS: The installed versions of Matlab/MCR are given by the MATLAB default installation paths under $HOME/Applications and /Applications. If no such application is found, it falls back to the one that might be accessible from the PATH.

•   Unix: The desired Matlab should be accessible from the PATH. This does not work for MCR installation and Matlab_ROOT_DIR should be specified on this platform.

    Additional information is provided when MATLAB_FIND_DEBUG is set. When a Matlab/MCR installation is found automatically and the MATLAB_VERSION is not given, the version is queried from Matlab directly (on Windows this may pop up a Matlab window) or from the MCR installation.

    The mapping of the release names and the version of Matlab is performed by defining pairs (name, version). The variable MATLAB_ADDITIONAL_VERSIONS may be provided before the call to the find_package() in order to handle additional versions.

    A Matlab scripts can be added to the set of tests using the matlab_add_unit_test(). By default, the Matlab unit test framework will be used (>= 2013a) to run this script, but regular .m files returning an exit code can be used as well (0 indicating a success).

  Known issues

Symbol clash in a MEX target
    By default, every symbols inside a MEX file defined with the command matlab_add_mex() have hidden visibility, except for the entry point. This is the default behavior of the MEX compiler, which lowers the risk of symbol collision between the libraries shipped with Matlab, and the libraries to which the MEX file is linking to. This is also the default on Windows platforms.

    However, this is not sufficient in certain case, where for instance your MEX file is linking against libraries that are already loaded by Matlab, even if those libraries have different SONAMES. A possible solution is to hide the symbols of the libraries to which the MEX target is linking to. This can be achieved in GNU GCC compilers with the linker option -Wl,--exclude-libs,ALL.

Tests using GPU resources
    in case your MEX file is using the GPU and in order to be able to run unit tests on this MEX file, the GPU resources should be properly released by Matlab. A possible solution is to make Matlab aware of the use of the GPU resources in the session, which can be performed by a command such as D = gpuDevice() at the beginning of the test script (or via a fixture).

  Reference

Matlab_ROOT_DIR
    The root folder of the Matlab installation. If set before the call to find_package(), the module will look for the components in that path. If not set, then an automatic search of Matlab will be performed. If set, it should point to a valid version of Matlab.

MATLAB_FIND_DEBUG
    If set, the lookup of Matlab and the intermediate configuration steps are outputted to the console.

MATLAB_ADDITIONAL_VERSIONS
    If set, specifies additional versions of Matlab that may be looked for. The variable should be a list of strings, organized by pairs of release name and versions, such as follows:

        set(MATLAB_ADDITIONAL_VERSIONS
            "release_name1=corresponding_version1"
            "release_name2=corresponding_version2"
            ...
            )

    Example:

        set(MATLAB_ADDITIONAL_VERSIONS
            "R2013b=8.2"
            "R2013a=8.1"
            "R2012b=8.0")

    The order of entries in this list matters when several versions of Matlab are installed. The priority is set according to the ordering in this list.

matlab_get_version_from_release_name

        matlab_get_version_from_release_name(release version)

•   Input: release is the release name (e.g. R2023b)

•   Output: version is the version of Matlab (e.g. 23.2.0)

    Returns the version of Matlab from a release name

    NOTE: This command provides correct versions mappings for Matlab but not MCR.

matlab_get_release_name_from_version

        matlab_get_release_name_from_version(version release_name)

•   Input: version is the version of Matlab (e.g. 23.2.0)

•   Output: release_name is the release name (R2023b)

    Returns the release name from the version of Matlab

    NOTE: This command provides correct version mappings for Matlab but not MCR.

matlab_extract_all_installed_versions_from_registry
    This function parses the Windows registry and finds the Matlab versions that are installed. The found versions are stored in a given <versions-var>.

matlab_extract_all_installed_versions_from_registry(<versions-var> [REGISTRY_VIEW view])
    Added in version 3.30.

•   Output: <versions-var> is a list of all the versions of Matlab found

•   Input: REGISTRY_VIEW Optional registry view to use for registry interaction. The argument is passed (or omitted) to cmake_host_system_information() without further checks or modification.

matlab_extract_all_installed_versions_from_registry(<win64> <versions-var>)

•   Input: win64 is a boolean to search for the 64 bit version of Matlab. Set to ON to use the 64bit registry view or OFF to use the 32bit registry view. If finer control is needed, see signature above.

•   Output: <versions-var> is a list of all the versions of Matlab found

    The returned list contains all versions under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Mathworks\MATLAB, HKLM\SOFTWARE\Mathworks\MATLAB Runtime and HKLM\SOFTWARE\Mathworks\MATLAB Compiler Runtime or an empty list in case an error occurred (or nothing found).

    NOTE: Only the versions are provided. No check is made over the existence of the installation referenced in the registry,

matlab_get_all_valid_matlab_roots_from_registry
    Populates the Matlab root with valid versions of Matlab or Matlab Runtime (MCR). The returned matlab_roots is organized in triplets (type,version_number,matlab_root_path), where type indicates either MATLAB or MCR.

        matlab_get_all_valid_matlab_roots_from_registry(matlab_versions matlab_roots [REGISTRY_VIEW view])

•   Input: matlab_versions of each of the Matlab or MCR installations

•   Output: matlab_roots location of each of the Matlab or MCR installations

•   Input: REGISTRY_VIEW Optional registry view to use for registry interaction. The argument is passed (or omitted) to cmake_host_system_information() without further checks or modification.

    Added in version 3.30: The optional REGISTRY_VIEW argument was added to provide a more precise interface on how to interact with the Windows Registry.

matlab_get_mex_suffix
    Returns the extension of the mex files (the suffixes). This function should not be called before the appropriate Matlab root has been found.

        matlab_get_mex_suffix(matlab_root mex_suffix)

•   Input: matlab_root root of Matlab/MCR install e.g. Matlab_ROOT_DIR

•   Output: mex_suffix variable name in which the suffix will be returned.

matlab_get_version_from_matlab_run
    This function runs Matlab program specified on arguments and extracts its version. If the path provided for the Matlab installation points to an MCR installation, the version is extracted from the installed files.

        matlab_get_version_from_matlab_run(matlab_binary_path matlab_list_versions)

•   Input: matlab_binary_path path of the matlab binary executable

•   Output: matlab_list_versions the version extracted from Matlab

matlab_add_unit_test
    Adds a Matlab unit test to the test set of cmake/ctest. This command requires the component MAIN_PROGRAM and hence is not available for an MCR installation.

    The unit test uses the Matlab unittest framework (default, available starting Matlab 2013b+) except if the option NO_UNITTEST_FRAMEWORK is given.

    The function expects one Matlab test script file to be given. In the case NO_UNITTEST_FRAMEWORK is given, the unittest script file should contain the script to be run, plus an exit command with the exit value. This exit value will be passed to the ctest framework (0 success, non 0 failure). Additional arguments accepted by add_test() can be passed through TEST_ARGS (eg. CONFIGURATION <config> ...).

        matlab_add_unit_test(
            NAME <name>
            UNITTEST_FILE matlab_file_containing_unittest.m
            [CUSTOM_TEST_COMMAND matlab_command_to_run_as_test]
            [UNITTEST_PRECOMMAND matlab_command_to_run]
            [TIMEOUT timeout]
            [ADDITIONAL_PATH path1 [path2 ...]]
            [MATLAB_ADDITIONAL_STARTUP_OPTIONS option1 [option2 ...]]
            [TEST_ARGS arg1 [arg2 ...]]
            [NO_UNITTEST_FRAMEWORK]
            )

    Function Parameters:

NAME
    name of the unittest in ctest.

UNITTEST_FILE
    the matlab unittest file. Its path will be automatically added to the Matlab path.

CUSTOM_TEST_COMMAND
    Matlab script command to run as the test. If this is not set, then the following is run: runtests('matlab_file_name'), exit(max([ans(1,:).Failed])) where matlab_file_name is the UNITTEST_FILE without the extension.

UNITTEST_PRECOMMAND
    Matlab script command to be ran before the file containing the test (eg. GPU device initialization based on CMake variables).

TIMEOUT
    the test timeout in seconds. Defaults to 180 seconds as the Matlab unit test may hang.

ADDITIONAL_PATH
    a list of paths to add to the Matlab path prior to running the unit test.

MATLAB_ADDITIONAL_STARTUP_OPTIONS
    a list of additional option in order to run Matlab from the command line. -nosplash -nodesktop -nodisplay are always added.

TEST_ARGS
    Additional options provided to the add_test command. These options are added to the default options (eg. "CONFIGURATIONS Release")

NO_UNITTEST_FRAMEWORK
    when set, indicates that the test should not use the unittest framework of Matlab (available for versions >= R2013a).

WORKING_DIRECTORY
    This will be the working directory for the test. If specified it will also be the output directory used for the log file of the test run. If not specified the temporary directory ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/Matlab will be used as the working directory and the log location.

matlab_add_mex
    Adds a Matlab MEX target. This commands compiles the given sources with the current tool-chain in order to produce a MEX file. The final name of the produced output may be specified, as well as additional link libraries, and a documentation entry for the MEX file. Remaining arguments of the call are passed to the add_library() or add_executable() command.

        matlab_add_mex(
            NAME <name>
            [EXECUTABLE | MODULE | SHARED]
            SRC src1 [src2 ...]
            [OUTPUT_NAME output_name]
            [DOCUMENTATION file.txt]
            [LINK_TO target1 target2 ...]
            [R2017b | R2018a]
            [EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL]
            [NO_IMPLICIT_LINK_TO_MATLAB_LIBRARIES]
            [...]
        )

    Function Parameters:

NAME
    name of the target.

SRC list of source files.

LINK_TO
    a list of additional link dependencies. The target links to libmex and libmx by default, unless the NO_IMPLICIT_LINK_TO_MATLAB_LIBRARIES option is passed.

OUTPUT_NAME
    if given, overrides the default name. The default name is the name of the target without any prefix and with Matlab_MEX_EXTENSION suffix.

DOCUMENTATION
    if given, the file file.txt will be considered as being the documentation file for the MEX file. This file is copied into the same folder without any processing, with the same name as the final mex file, and with extension .m. In that case, typing help <name> in Matlab prints the documentation contained in this file.

R2017b or R2018a
    Added in version 3.14.

    May be given to specify the version of the C API to use: R2017b specifies the traditional (separate complex) C API, and corresponds to the -R2017b flag for the mex command. R2018a specifies the new interleaved complex C API, and corresponds to the -R2018a flag for the mex command. Ignored if MATLAB version prior to R2018a. Defaults to R2017b.

MODULE or SHARED
    Added in version 3.7.

    May be given to specify the type of library to be created.

EXECUTABLE
    Added in version 3.7.

    May be given to create an executable instead of a library. If no type is given explicitly, the type is SHARED.

EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL
    This option has the same meaning as for EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL and is forwarded to add_library() or add_executable() commands.

NO_IMPLICIT_LINK_TO_MATLAB_LIBRARIES
    Added in version 3.24.

    This option permits to disable the automatic linking of MATLAB libraries, so that only the libraries that are actually required can be linked via the LINK_TO option.

    The documentation file is not processed and should be in the following format:

        % This is the documentation
        function ret = mex_target_output_name(input1)

  FindMFC

  FindMPI

Find a Message Passing Interface (MPI) implementation.

The Message Passing Interface (MPI) is a library used to write high-performance distributed-memory parallel applications, and is typically deployed on a cluster. MPI is a standard interface (defined by the MPI forum) for which many implementations are available.

Added in version 3.10: Major overhaul of the module: many new variables, per-language components, support for a wider variety of runtimes.

  Variables for using MPI

The module exposes the components C, CXX, MPICXX and Fortran. Each of these controls the various MPI languages to search for. The difference between CXX and MPICXX is that CXX refers to the MPI C API being usable from C++, whereas MPICXX refers to the MPI-2 C++ API that was removed again in MPI-3.

Depending on the enabled components the following variables will be set:

MPI_FOUND
    Variable indicating that MPI settings for all requested languages have been found. If no components are specified, this is true if MPI settings for all enabled languages were detected. Note that the MPICXX component does not affect this variable.

MPI_VERSION
    Minimal version of MPI detected among the requested languages, or all enabled languages if no components were specified.

    This module will set the following variables per language in your project, where <lang> is one of C, CXX, or Fortran:

MPI_<lang>_FOUND
    Variable indicating the MPI settings for <lang> were found and that simple MPI test programs compile with the provided settings.

MPI_<lang>_COMPILER
    MPI compiler for <lang> if such a program exists.

MPI_<lang>_COMPILE_OPTIONS
    Compilation options for MPI programs in <lang>, given as a ;-list.

MPI_<lang>_COMPILE_DEFINITIONS
    Compilation definitions for MPI programs in <lang>, given as a ;-list.

MPI_<lang>_INCLUDE_DIRS
    Include path(s) for MPI header.

MPI_<lang>_LINK_FLAGS
    Linker flags for MPI programs.

MPI_<lang>_LIBRARIES
    All libraries to link MPI programs against.

    Added in version 3.9: Additionally, the following IMPORTED targets are defined:

MPI::MPI_<lang>
    Target for using MPI from <lang>.

    The following variables indicating which bindings are present will be defined:

MPI_MPICXX_FOUND
    Variable indicating whether the MPI-2 C++ bindings are present (introduced in MPI-2, removed with MPI-3).

MPI_Fortran_HAVE_F77_HEADER
    True if the Fortran 77 header mpif.h is available.

MPI_Fortran_HAVE_F90_MODULE
    True if the Fortran 90 module mpi can be used for accessing MPI (MPI-2 and higher only).

MPI_Fortran_HAVE_F08_MODULE
    True if the Fortran 2008 mpi_f08 is available to MPI programs (MPI-3 and higher only).

    If possible, the MPI version will be determined by this module. The facilities to detect the MPI version were introduced with MPI-1.2, and therefore cannot be found for older MPI versions.

MPI_<lang>_VERSION_MAJOR
    Major version of MPI implemented for <lang> by the MPI distribution.

MPI_<lang>_VERSION_MINOR
    Minor version of MPI implemented for <lang> by the MPI distribution.

MPI_<lang>_VERSION
    MPI version implemented for <lang> by the MPI distribution.

    Note that there's no variable for the C bindings being accessible through mpi.h, since the MPI standards always have required this binding to work in both C and C++ code.

    For running MPI programs, the module sets the following variables

MPIEXEC_EXECUTABLE
    Executable for running MPI programs, if such exists.

MPIEXEC_NUMPROC_FLAG
    Flag to pass to mpiexec before giving it the number of processors to run on.

MPIEXEC_MAX_NUMPROCS
    Number of MPI processors to utilize. Defaults to the number of processors detected on the host system.

MPIEXEC_PREFLAGS
    Flags to pass to mpiexec directly before the executable to run.

MPIEXEC_POSTFLAGS
    Flags to pass to mpiexec after other flags.

  Variables for locating MPI

This module performs a four step search for an MPI implementation:

1.  Search for MPIEXEC_EXECUTABLE and, if found, use its base directory.

2.  Check if the compiler has MPI support built-in. This is the case if the user passed a compiler wrapper as CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER or if they use Cray system compiler wrappers.

3.  Attempt to find an MPI compiler wrapper and determine the compiler information from it.

4.  Try to find an MPI implementation that does not ship such a wrapper by guessing settings. Currently, only Microsoft MPI and MPICH2 on Windows are supported.

    For controlling the MPIEXEC_EXECUTABLE step, the following variables may be set:

MPIEXEC_EXECUTABLE
    Manually specify the location of mpiexec.

MPI_HOME
    Specify the base directory of the MPI installation.

ENV{MPI_HOME}
    Environment variable to specify the base directory of the MPI installation.

ENV{I_MPI_ROOT}
    Environment variable to specify the base directory of the MPI installation.

    For controlling the compiler wrapper step, the following variables may be set:

MPI_<lang>_COMPILER
    Search for the specified compiler wrapper and use it.

MPI_<lang>_COMPILER_FLAGS
    Flags to pass to the MPI compiler wrapper during interrogation. Some compiler wrappers support linking debug or tracing libraries if a specific flag is passed and this variable may be used to obtain them.

MPI_COMPILER_FLAGS
    Used to initialize MPI_<lang>_COMPILER_FLAGS if no language specific flag has been given. Empty by default.

MPI_EXECUTABLE_SUFFIX
    A suffix which is appended to all names that are being looked for. For instance you may set this to .mpich or .openmpi to prefer the one or the other on Debian and its derivatives.

    In order to control the guessing step, the following variable may be set:

MPI_GUESS_LIBRARY_NAME
    Valid values are MSMPI and MPICH2. If set, only the given library will be searched for. By default, MSMPI will be preferred over MPICH2 if both are available. This also sets MPI_SKIP_COMPILER_WRAPPER to true, which may be overridden.

    Each of the search steps may be skipped with the following control variables:

MPI_ASSUME_NO_BUILTIN_MPI
    If true, the module assumes that the compiler itself does not provide an MPI implementation and skips to step 2.

MPI_SKIP_COMPILER_WRAPPER
    If true, no compiler wrapper will be searched for.

MPI_SKIP_GUESSING
    If true, the guessing step will be skipped.

    Additionally, the following control variable is available to change search behavior:

MPI_CXX_SKIP_MPICXX
    Add some definitions that will disable the MPI-2 C++ bindings. Currently supported are MPICH, Open MPI, Platform MPI and derivatives thereof, for example MVAPICH or Intel MPI.

    If the find procedure fails for a variable MPI_<lang>_WORKS, then the settings detected by or passed to the module did not work and even a simple MPI test program failed to compile.

    If all of these parameters were not sufficient to find the right MPI implementation, a user may disable the entire autodetection process by specifying both a list of libraries in MPI_<lang>_LIBRARIES and a list of include directories in MPI_<lang>_ADDITIONAL_INCLUDE_DIRS. Any other variable may be set in addition to these two. The module will then validate the MPI settings and store the settings in the cache.

  Cache variables for MPI

The variable MPI_<lang>_INCLUDE_DIRS will be assembled from the following variables. For C and CXX:

MPI_<lang>_HEADER_DIR
    Location of the mpi.h header on disk.

    For Fortran:

MPI_Fortran_F77_HEADER_DIR
    Location of the Fortran 77 header mpif.h, if it exists.

MPI_Fortran_MODULE_DIR
    Location of the mpi or mpi_f08 modules, if available.

    For all languages the following variables are additionally considered:

MPI_<lang>_ADDITIONAL_INCLUDE_DIRS
    A ;-list of paths needed in addition to the normal include directories.

MPI_<include_name>_INCLUDE_DIR
    Path variables for include folders referred to by <include_name>.

MPI_<lang>_ADDITIONAL_INCLUDE_VARS
    A ;-list of <include_name> that will be added to the include locations of <lang>.

    The variable MPI_<lang>_LIBRARIES will be assembled from the following variables:

MPI_<lib_name>_LIBRARY
    The location of a library called <lib_name> for use with MPI.

MPI_<lang>_LIB_NAMES
    A ;-list of <lib_name> that will be added to the include locations of <lang>.

  Usage of mpiexec

When using MPIEXEC_EXECUTABLE to execute MPI applications, you should typically use all of the MPIEXEC_EXECUTABLE flags as follows:

    ${MPIEXEC_EXECUTABLE} ${MPIEXEC_NUMPROC_FLAG} ${MPIEXEC_MAX_NUMPROCS}
      ${MPIEXEC_PREFLAGS} EXECUTABLE ${MPIEXEC_POSTFLAGS} ARGS

where EXECUTABLE is the MPI program, and ARGS are the arguments to pass to the MPI program.

  Advanced variables for using MPI

The module can perform some advanced feature detections upon explicit request.

Important notice: The following checks cannot be performed without executing an MPI test program. Consider the special considerations for the behavior of try_run() during cross compilation. Moreover, running an MPI program can cause additional issues, like a firewall notification on some systems. You should only enable these detections if you absolutely need the information.

If the following variables are set to true, the respective search will be performed:

MPI_DETERMINE_Fortran_CAPABILITIES
    Determine for all available Fortran bindings what the values of MPI_SUBARRAYS_SUPPORTED and MPI_ASYNC_PROTECTS_NONBLOCKING are and make their values available as MPI_Fortran_<binding>_SUBARRAYS and MPI_Fortran_<binding>_ASYNCPROT, where <binding> is one of F77_HEADER, F90_MODULE and F08_MODULE.

MPI_DETERMINE_LIBRARY_VERSION
    For each language, find the output of MPI_Get_library_version and make it available as MPI_<lang>_LIBRARY_VERSION_STRING. This information is usually tied to the runtime component of an MPI implementation and might differ depending on <lang>. Note that the return value is entirely implementation defined. This information might be used to identify the MPI vendor and for example pick the correct one of multiple third party binaries that matches the MPI vendor.

  Backward Compatibility

Deprecated since version 3.10.

For backward compatibility with older versions of FindMPI, these variables are set:

    MPI_COMPILER        MPI_LIBRARY        MPI_EXTRA_LIBRARY
    MPI_COMPILE_FLAGS   MPI_INCLUDE_PATH   MPI_LINK_FLAGS
    MPI_LIBRARIES

In new projects, please use the MPI_<lang>_XXX equivalents. Additionally, the following variables are deprecated:

MPI_<lang>_COMPILE_FLAGS
    Use MPI_<lang>_COMPILE_OPTIONS and MPI_<lang>_COMPILE_DEFINITIONS instead.

MPI_<lang>_INCLUDE_PATH
    For consumption use MPI_<lang>_INCLUDE_DIRS and for specifying folders use MPI_<lang>_ADDITIONAL_INCLUDE_DIRS instead.

MPIEXEC
    Use MPIEXEC_EXECUTABLE instead.

  FindMsys

Added in version 3.21.

Find MSYS, a POSIX-compatible environment that runs natively on Microsoft Windows

  FindODBC

Added in version 3.12.

Find an Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) include directory and library.

On Windows, when building with Visual Studio, this module assumes the ODBC library is provided by the available Windows SDK.

On Unix, this module allows to search for ODBC library provided by unixODBC or iODBC implementations of ODBC API. This module reads hint about location of the config program:

ODBC_CONFIG
    Location of odbc_config or iodbc-config program

    Otherwise, this module tries to find the config program, first from unixODBC, then from iODBC. If no config program found, this module searches for ODBC header and library in list of known locations.

  Imported Targets

This module defines the following IMPORTED targets:

ODBC::ODBC
    Imported target for using the ODBC library, if found.

  Result variables

ODBC_FOUND
    Set to true if ODBC library found, otherwise false or undefined.

ODBC_INCLUDE_DIRS
    Paths to include directories listed in one variable for use by ODBC client. May be empty on Windows, where the include directory corresponding to the expected Windows SDK is already available in the compilation environment.

ODBC_LIBRARIES
    Paths to libraries to linked against to use ODBC. May just a library name on Windows, where the library directory corresponding to the expected Windows SDK is already available in the compilation environment.

ODBC_CONFIG
    Path to unixODBC or iODBC config program, if found or specified.

  Cache variables

For users who wish to edit and control the module behavior, this module reads hints about search locations from the following variables:

ODBC_INCLUDE_DIR
    Path to ODBC include directory with sql.h header.

ODBC_LIBRARY
    Path to ODBC library to be linked.

    These variables should not be used directly by project code.

  Limitations

On Windows, this module does not search for iODBC. On Unix, there is no way to prefer unixODBC over iODBC, or vice versa, other than providing the config program location using the ODBC_CONFIG. This module does not allow to search for a specific ODBC driver.

  FindOpenACC

Added in version 3.10.

Detect OpenACC support by the compiler.

This module can be used to detect OpenACC support in a compiler. If the compiler supports OpenACC, the flags required to compile with OpenACC support are returned in variables for the different languages. Currently, only NVHPC, PGI, GNU and Cray compilers are supported.

  Imported Targets

Added in version 3.16.

The module provides IMPORTED targets:

OpenACC::OpenACC_<lang>
    Target for using OpenACC from <lang>.

  Variables

The module defines the following variables:

OpenACC_FOUND
    Added in version 3.25.

    Variable indicating that OpenACC flags for at least one languages have been found.

    This module will set the following variables per language in your project, where <lang> is one of C, CXX, or Fortran:

OpenACC_<lang>_FOUND
    Variable indicating if OpenACC support for <lang> was detected.

OpenACC_<lang>_FLAGS
    OpenACC compiler flags for <lang>, separated by spaces.

OpenACC_<lang>_OPTIONS
    Added in version 3.16.

    OpenACC compiler flags for <lang>, as a list. Suitable for usage with target_compile_options or target_link_options.

    The module will also try to provide the OpenACC version variables:

OpenACC_<lang>_SPEC_DATE
    Date of the OpenACC specification implemented by the <lang> compiler.

OpenACC_<lang>_VERSION_MAJOR
    Major version of OpenACC implemented by the <lang> compiler.

OpenACC_<lang>_VERSION_MINOR
    Minor version of OpenACC implemented by the <lang> compiler.

OpenACC_<lang>_VERSION
    OpenACC version implemented by the <lang> compiler.

    The specification date is formatted as given in the OpenACC standard: yyyymm where yyyy and mm represents the year and month of the OpenACC specification implemented by the <lang> compiler.

  Input Variables

OpenACC_ACCEL_TARGET=<target> If set, will the correct target accelerator flag set to the <target> will be returned with OpenACC_<lang>_FLAGS.

  FindOpenAL

Finds Open Audio Library (OpenAL).

Projects using this module should use #include "al.h" to include the OpenAL header file, not #include <AL/al.h>. The reason for this is that the latter is not entirely portable. Windows/Creative Labs does not by default put their headers in AL/ and macOS uses the convention <OpenAL/al.h>.

  Hints

Environment variable $OPENALDIR can be used to set the prefix of OpenAL installation to be found.

By default on macOS, system framework is search first. In other words, OpenAL is searched in the following order:

1.  System framework: /System/Library/Frameworks, whose priority can be changed via setting the CMAKE_FIND_FRAMEWORK variable.

2.  Environment variable $OPENALDIR.

3.  System paths.

4.  User-compiled framework: ~/Library/Frameworks.

5.  Manually compiled framework: /Library/Frameworks.

6.  Add-on package: /opt.

  Imported Targets

Added in version 3.25.

This module defines the IMPORTED target:

OpenAL::OpenAL
    The OpenAL library, if found.

  Result Variables

This module defines the following variables:

OPENAL_FOUND
    If false, do not try to link to OpenAL

OPENAL_INCLUDE_DIR
    OpenAL include directory

OPENAL_LIBRARY
    Path to the OpenAL library

OPENAL_VERSION_STRING
    Human-readable string containing the version of OpenAL

  FindOpenCL

EGL The EGL interface between OpenGL, OpenGL ES and the underlying windowing system.

GLX An extension to X that interfaces OpenGL, OpenGL ES with X window system.

OpenGL
    The cross platform API for 3D graphics.

Added in version 3.8.

This module defines the IMPORTED targets:

OpenGL::GL
    Defined to the platform-specific OpenGL libraries if the system has OpenGL.

OpenGL::GLU
    Defined if the system has OpenGL Utility Library (GLU).

    Added in version 3.10: Additionally, the following GLVND-specific library targets are defined:

OpenGL::OpenGL
    Defined to libOpenGL if the system is GLVND-based.

OpenGL::GLX
    Defined if the system has OpenGL Extension to the X Window System (GLX).

OpenGL::EGL
    Defined if the system has EGL.

OpenGL::GLES2
    Added in version 3.27.

OPENGL_FOUND
    True, if the system has OpenGL and all components are found.

OPENGL_XMESA_FOUND
    True, if the system has XMESA.

OPENGL_GLU_FOUND
    True, if the system has GLU.

OpenGL_OpenGL_FOUND
    True, if the system has an OpenGL library.

OpenGL_GLX_FOUND
    True, if the system has GLX.

OpenGL_EGL_FOUND
    True, if the system has EGL.

OpenGL::GLES2
    Defined if the system has GLES2.

OpenGL::GLES3
    Defined if the system has GLES3.

OPENGL_EGL_INCLUDE_DIRS
    Path to the EGL include directory.

OPENGL_LIBRARIES
    Paths to the OpenGL library, windowing system libraries, and GLU libraries. On Linux, this assumes GLX and is never correct for EGL-based targets. Clients are encouraged to use the OpenGL::* import targets instead.

OPENGL_INCLUDE_DIRS
    Added in version 3.29.

    Paths to the OpenGL include directories.

    Added in version 3.10: Variables for GLVND-specific libraries OpenGL, EGL and GLX.

    Path to the EGL library.

OPENGL_glu_LIBRARY
    Path to the GLU library.

OPENGL_glx_LIBRARY
    Path to the GLVND 'GLX' library.

    Path to the OpenGL GLU include directory.

    Added in version 3.10: Variables for GLVND-specific libraries OpenGL, EGL and GLX.

  Linux-specific

Some Linux systems utilize GLVND as a new ABI for OpenGL. GLVND separates context libraries from OpenGL itself; OpenGL lives in "libOpenGL", and contexts are defined in "libGLX" or "libEGL". GLVND is currently the only way to get OpenGL 3+ functionality via EGL in a manner portable across vendors. Projects may use GLVND explicitly with target OpenGL::OpenGL and either OpenGL::GLX or OpenGL::EGL.

Projects may use the OpenGL::GL target (or OPENGL_LIBRARIES variable) to use legacy GL interfaces. These will use the legacy GL library located by OPENGL_gl_LIBRARY, if available. If OPENGL_gl_LIBRARY is empty or not found and GLVND is available, the OpenGL::GL target will use GLVND OpenGL::OpenGL and OpenGL::GLX (and the OPENGL_LIBRARIES variable will use the corresponding libraries). Thus, for non-EGL-based Linux targets, the OpenGL::GL target is most portable.

A OpenGL_GL_PREFERENCE variable may be set to specify the preferred way to provide legacy GL interfaces in case multiple choices are available. The value may be one of:

GLVND
    If the GLVND OpenGL and GLX libraries are available, prefer them. This forces OPENGL_gl_LIBRARY to be empty.

    Changed in version 3.11: This is the default, unless policy CMP0072 is set to OLD and no components are requested (since components correspond to GLVND libraries).

LEGACY
    Prefer to use the legacy libGL library, if available.

    For EGL targets the client must rely on GLVND support on the user's system. Linking should use the OpenGL::OpenGL OpenGL::EGL targets. Using GLES* libraries is theoretically possible in place of OpenGL::OpenGL, but this module does not currently support that; contributions welcome.

    OPENGL_egl_LIBRARY and OPENGL_EGL_INCLUDE_DIRS are defined in the case of GLVND. For non-GLVND Linux and other systems these are left undefined.

  macOS-Specific

On macOS this module defaults to using the macOS-native framework version of OpenGL. To use the X11 version of OpenGL on macOS, one can disable searching of frameworks. For example:

    find_package(X11)
    if(APPLE AND X11_FOUND)
      set(CMAKE_FIND_FRAMEWORK NEVER)
      find_package(OpenGL)
      unset(CMAKE_FIND_FRAMEWORK)
    else()
      find_package(OpenGL)
    endif()

An end user building this project may need to point CMake at their X11 installation, e.g., with -DOpenGL_ROOT=/opt/X11.

  FindOpenMP

Finds Open Multi-Processing (OpenMP) support.

This module can be used to detect OpenMP support in a compiler. If the compiler supports OpenMP, the flags required to compile with OpenMP support are returned in variables for the different languages. The variables may be empty if the compiler does not need a special flag to support OpenMP.

Added in version 3.5: Clang support.

  Input Variables

The following variables may be set to influence this module's behavior:

OpenMP_RUNTIME_MSVC
    Added in version 3.30.

    Specify the OpenMP Runtime when compiling with MSVC. If set to a non-empty value, such as experimental or llvm, it will be passed as the value of the -openmp: flag.

  Result Variables

Added in version 3.10: The module exposes the components C, CXX, and Fortran. Each of these controls the various languages to search OpenMP support for.

Added in version 3.31: The CUDA language component is supported when using a CUDA compiler that supports OpenMP on the host.

Depending on the enabled components the following variables will be set:

OpenMP_FOUND
    Variable indicating that OpenMP flags for all requested languages have been found. If no components are specified, this is true if OpenMP settings for all enabled languages were detected.

OpenMP_VERSION
    Minimal version of the OpenMP standard detected among the requested languages, or all enabled languages if no components were specified.

    This module will set the following variables per language in your project, where <lang> is one of C, CXX, CUDA, or Fortran:

OpenMP_<lang>_FOUND
    Variable indicating if OpenMP support for <lang> was detected.

OpenMP_<lang>_FLAGS
    OpenMP compiler flags for <lang>, separated by spaces.

OpenMP_<lang>_INCLUDE_DIRS
    Directories that must be added to the header search path for <lang> when using OpenMP.

    For linking with OpenMP code written in <lang>, the following variables are provided:

OpenMP_<lang>_LIB_NAMES
    ;-list of libraries for OpenMP programs for <lang>.

OpenMP_<libname>_LIBRARY
    Location of the individual libraries needed for OpenMP support in <lang>.

OpenMP_<lang>_LIBRARIES
    A list of libraries needed to link with OpenMP code written in <lang>.

    Additionally, the module provides IMPORTED targets:

OpenMP::OpenMP_<lang>
    Target for using OpenMP from <lang>.

    Specifically for Fortran, the module sets the following variables:

OpenMP_Fortran_HAVE_OMPLIB_HEADER
    Boolean indicating if OpenMP is accessible through omp_lib.h.

OpenMP_Fortran_HAVE_OMPLIB_MODULE
    Boolean indicating if OpenMP is accessible through the omp_lib Fortran module.

    The module will also try to provide the OpenMP version variables:

OpenMP_<lang>_SPEC_DATE
    Added in version 3.7.

    Date of the OpenMP specification implemented by the <lang> compiler.

OpenMP_<lang>_VERSION_MAJOR
    Major version of OpenMP implemented by the <lang> compiler.

OpenMP_<lang>_VERSION_MINOR
    Minor version of OpenMP implemented by the <lang> compiler.

OpenMP_<lang>_VERSION
    OpenMP version implemented by the <lang> compiler.

    The specification date is formatted as given in the OpenMP standard: yyyymm where yyyy and mm represents the year and month of the OpenMP specification implemented by the <lang> compiler.

    For some compilers, it may be necessary to add a header search path to find the relevant OpenMP headers. This location may be language-specific. Where this is needed, the module may attempt to find the location, but it can be provided directly by setting the OpenMP_<lang>_INCLUDE_DIR cache variable. Note that this variable is an _input_ control to the module. Project code should use the OpenMP_<lang>_INCLUDE_DIRS _output_ variable if it needs to know what include directories are needed.

  FindOpenSceneGraph

Find OpenSceneGraph (3D graphics application programming interface)

This module searches for the OpenSceneGraph core "osg" library as well as FindOpenThreads, and whatever additional COMPONENTS (nodekits) that you specify.

    See http://www.openscenegraph.org

NOTE: To use this module effectively you must either require CMake >= 2.6.3 with cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.6.3) or download and place FindOpenThreads, Findosg functions, Findosg and Find<etc>.cmake files into your CMAKE_MODULE_PATH.

----

This module accepts the following variables (note mixed case)

    OpenSceneGraph_DEBUG - Enable debugging output

    OpenSceneGraph_MARK_AS_ADVANCED - Mark cache variables as advanced
                                      automatically

The following environment variables are also respected for finding the OSG and it's various components. CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH can also be used for this (see find_library() CMake documentation).

<MODULE>_DIR
    (where MODULE is of the form "OSGVOLUME" and there is a FindosgVolume.cmake` file)

OSG_DIR

OSGDIR

OSG_ROOT

    [CMake 2.8.10]: The CMake variable OSG_DIR can now be used as well to influence detection, instead of needing to specify an environment variable.

    This module defines the following output variables:

        OPENSCENEGRAPH_FOUND - Was the OSG and all of the specified components found?

        OPENSCENEGRAPH_VERSION - The version of the OSG which was found

        OPENSCENEGRAPH_INCLUDE_DIRS - Where to find the headers

        OPENSCENEGRAPH_LIBRARIES - The OSG libraries

    ================================== Example Usage:

        find_package(OpenSceneGraph 2.0.0 REQUIRED osgDB osgUtil)
            # libOpenThreads & libosg automatically searched
        include_directories(${OPENSCENEGRAPH_INCLUDE_DIRS})

        add_executable(foo foo.cc)
        target_link_libraries(foo ${OPENSCENEGRAPH_LIBRARIES})

  FindOpenSP

Added in version 3.25.

Try to find the OpenSP library.

  Result Variables

This will define the following variables:

OpenSP_FOUND
    True if (the requested version of) OpenSP is available

OpenSP_VERSION
    The version of OpenSP

OpenSP_VERSION_MAJOR
    The major version of OpenSP

OpenSP_VERSION_MINOR
    The minor version of OpenSP

OpenSP_VERSION_PATCH
    The patch version of OpenSP

OpenSP_INCLUDE_DIRS
    The include dirs of OpenSP with its headers

OpenSP_LIBRARIES
    The OpenSP library for use with target_link_libraries(). This can be passed to target_link_libraries() instead of the IMPORTED OpenSP::OpenSP target

OpenSP_MULTI_BYTE
    True if SP_MULTI_BYTE was found to be defined in OpenSP's config.h header file, which indicates that the OpenSP library was compiled with support for multi-byte characters. The consuming target needs to define the SP_MULTI_BYTE to match this value in order to avoid issues with character decoding.

  Imported Targets

This module defines the IMPORTED target OpenSP::OpenSP, if OpenSP has been found.

  Cache variables

The following cache variables may also be set:

OpenSP_INCLUDE_DIR
    the OpenSP include directory

OpenSP_LIBRARY
    the absolute path of the osp library

  FindOpenSSL

Find the OpenSSL encryption library.

This module finds an installed OpenSSL library and determines its version.

Added in version 3.19: When a version is requested, it can be specified as a simple value or as a range. For a detailed description of version range usage and capabilities, refer to the find_package() command.

Added in version 3.18: Support for OpenSSL 3.0.

  Optional COMPONENTS

Added in version 3.12.

This module supports two optional COMPONENTS: Crypto and SSL. Both components have associated imported targets, as described below.

  Imported Targets

Added in version 3.4.

This module defines the following IMPORTED targets:

OpenSSL::SSL
    The OpenSSL ssl library, if found.

OpenSSL::Crypto
    The OpenSSL crypto library, if found.

OpenSSL::applink
    Added in version 3.18.

    The OpenSSL applink components that might be need to be compiled into projects under MSVC. This target is available only if found OpenSSL version is not less than 0.9.8. By linking this target the above OpenSSL targets can be linked even if the project has different MSVC runtime configurations with the above OpenSSL targets. This target has no effect on platforms other than MSVC.

    NOTE: Due to how INTERFACE_SOURCES are consumed by the consuming target, unless you certainly know what you are doing, it is always preferred to link OpenSSL::applink target as PRIVATE and to make sure that this target is linked at most once for the whole dependency graph of any library or executable:

        target_link_libraries(myTarget PRIVATE OpenSSL::applink)

    Otherwise you would probably encounter unexpected random problems when building and linking, as both the ISO C and the ISO C++ standard claims almost nothing about what a link process should be.

  Result Variables

This module will set the following variables in your project:

OPENSSL_FOUND
    System has the OpenSSL library. If no components are requested it only requires the crypto library.

OPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR
    The OpenSSL include directory.

OPENSSL_CRYPTO_LIBRARY
    The OpenSSL crypto library.

OPENSSL_CRYPTO_LIBRARIES
    The OpenSSL crypto library and its dependencies.

OPENSSL_SSL_LIBRARY
    The OpenSSL SSL library.

OPENSSL_SSL_LIBRARIES
    The OpenSSL SSL library and its dependencies.

OPENSSL_LIBRARIES
    All OpenSSL libraries and their dependencies.

OPENSSL_VERSION
    This is set to $major.$minor.$revision$patch (e.g. 0.9.8s).

OPENSSL_APPLINK_SOURCE
    The sources in the target OpenSSL::applink that is mentioned above. This variable shall always be undefined if found openssl version is less than 0.9.8 or if platform is not MSVC.

  Hints

The following variables may be set to control search behavior:

OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR
    Set to the root directory of an OpenSSL installation.

OPENSSL_USE_STATIC_LIBS
    Added in version 3.4.

    Set to TRUE to look for static libraries.

OPENSSL_MSVC_STATIC_RT
    Added in version 3.5.

    Set to TRUE to choose the MT version of the lib.

ENV{PKG_CONFIG_PATH}
    On UNIX-like systems, pkg-config is used to locate the system OpenSSL. Set the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable to look in alternate locations. Useful on multi-lib systems.

  FindOpenThreads

OpenThreads is a C++ based threading library. Its largest userbase seems to OpenSceneGraph so you might notice I accept OSGDIR as an environment path. I consider this part of the Findosg* suite used to find OpenSceneGraph components. Each component is separate and you must opt in to each module.

This module defines:

OPENTHREADS_LIBRARY

OPENTHREADS_FOUND
    if false, do not try to link to OpenThreads

OPENTHREADS_INCLUDE_DIR
    where to find the headers

    $OPENTHREADS_DIR is an environment variable that would correspond to the:

        ./configure --prefix=$OPENTHREADS_DIR

    used in building osg.

    Added in version 2.8.10: The CMake variables OPENTHREADS_DIR or OSG_DIR can now be used as well to influence detection, instead of needing to specify an environment variable.

  Findosg

NOTE: It is highly recommended that you use the new FindOpenSceneGraph introduced in CMake 2.6.3 and not use this Find module directly.

This is part of the Findosg* suite used to find OpenSceneGraph components. Each component is separate and you must opt in to each module. You must also opt into OpenGL and OpenThreads (and Producer if needed) as these modules won't do it for you. This is to allow you control over your own system piece by piece in case you need to opt out of certain components or change the Find behavior for a particular module (perhaps because the default FindOpenGL module doesn't work with your system as an example). If you want to use a more convenient module that includes everything, use the FindOpenSceneGraph instead of the Findosg*.cmake modules.

  FindosgQt

This is part of the Findosg* suite used to find OpenSceneGraph components. Each component is separate and you must opt in to each module. You must also opt into OpenGL and OpenThreads (and Producer if needed) as these modules won't do it for you. This is to allow you control over your own system piece by piece in case you need to opt out of certain components or change the Find behavior for a particular module (perhaps because the default FindOpenGL module doesn't work with your system as an example). If you want to use a more convenient module that includes everything, use the FindOpenSceneGraph instead of the Findosg*.cmake modules.

Added in version 3.10.

The module defines the following variables:

Patch_EXECUTABLE
    Path to patch command-line executable.

Patch_FOUND
    True if the patch command-line executable was found.

    The following IMPORTED targets are also defined:

Patch::patch
    The command-line executable.

    Changed in version 4.0: Imported target is defined only when CMAKE_ROLE is PROJECT.

    Example usage:

        find_package(Patch)
        if(Patch_FOUND)
          message("Patch found: ${Patch_EXECUTABLE}")
        endif()

  FindPerl

Find a Perl interpreter.

This module defines the following variables:

PERL_EXECUTABLE
    The full path to Perl.

    True if the Perl executable was found.

PERL_VERSION_STRING
    Added in version 2.8.8.

    The version of Perl found.

  FindPerlLibs

Find Perl libraries

This module finds if PERL is installed and determines where the include files and libraries are. It also determines what the name of the library is. This code sets the following variables:

    PERLLIBS_FOUND    = True if perl.h & libperl were found
    PERL_INCLUDE_PATH = path to where perl.h is found
    PERL_LIBRARY      = path to libperl
    PERL_EXECUTABLE   = full path to the perl binary

The minimum required version of Perl can be specified using the standard syntax, e.g. find_package(PerlLibs 6.0)

    The following variables are also available if needed
    (introduced after CMake 2.6.4)

    PERL_SITESEARCH     = path to the sitesearch install dir (-V:installsitesearch)
    PERL_SITEARCH       = path to the sitelib install directory (-V:installsitearch)

    PERL_UPDATE_ARCHLIB = path to the update arch lib install directory (-V:installarchlib)
    PERL_UPDATE_PRIVLIB = path to the update priv lib install directory (-V:installprivlib)
    PERL_EXTRA_C_FLAGS = Compilation flags used to build perl

  FindPHP4

PHYSFS_FOUND
    if false, do not try to link to PHYSFS

PHYSFS_INCLUDE_DIR
    where to find physfs.h

    $PHYSFSDIR is an environment variable that would correspond to:

        ./configure --prefix=$PHYSFSDIR

    used in building PHYSFS.

  FindPike

Find Pike

This module finds if PIKE is installed and determines where the include files and libraries are. It also determines what the name of the library is. This code sets the following variables:

    PIKE_INCLUDE_PATH       = path to where program.h is found
    PIKE_EXECUTABLE         = full path to the pike binary

  FindPkgConfig

A pkg-config module for CMake.

Finds the pkg-config executable and adds the pkg_get_variable(), pkg_check_modules() and pkg_search_module() commands. The following variables will also be set:

PKG_CONFIG_FOUND
    True if a pkg-config executable was found.

PKG_CONFIG_VERSION_STRING
    Added in version 2.8.8.

    The version of pkg-config that was found.

PKG_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE
    The pathname of the pkg-config program.

PKG_CONFIG_ARGN
    Added in version 3.22.

    A list of arguments to pass to pkg-config.

    Both PKG_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE and PKG_CONFIG_ARGN are initialized by the module, but may be overridden by the user. See Variables Affecting Behavior for how these variables are initialized.

pkg_check_modules
    Checks for all the given modules, setting a variety of result variables in the calling scope.

        pkg_check_modules(<prefix>
                          [REQUIRED] [QUIET]
                          [NO_CMAKE_PATH]
                          [NO_CMAKE_ENVIRONMENT_PATH]
                          [IMPORTED_TARGET [GLOBAL]]
                          <moduleSpec> [<moduleSpec>...])

    When the REQUIRED argument is given, the command will fail with an error if module(s) could not be found.

    When the QUIET argument is given, no status messages will be printed.

    Added in version 3.3: The CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH, CMAKE_FRAMEWORK_PATH, and CMAKE_APPBUNDLE_PATH cache and environment variables will be added to the pkg-config search path. The NO_CMAKE_PATH and NO_CMAKE_ENVIRONMENT_PATH arguments disable this behavior for the cache variables and environment variables respectively. The PKG_CONFIG_USE_CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH variable set to FALSE disables this behavior globally.

    Added in version 3.7: The IMPORTED_TARGET argument will create an imported target named PkgConfig::<prefix> that can be passed directly as an argument to target_link_libraries().

    Added in version 3.13: The GLOBAL argument will make the imported target available in global scope.

    Added in version 3.15: Non-library linker options reported by pkg-config are stored in the INTERFACE_LINK_OPTIONS target property.

    Changed in version 3.18: Include directories specified with -isystem are stored in the INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES target property. Previous versions of CMake left them in the INTERFACE_COMPILE_OPTIONS property.

    Each <moduleSpec> can be either a bare module name or it can be a module name with a version constraint (operators =, <, >, <= and >= are supported). The following are examples for a module named foo with various constraints:

•   foo matches any version.

•   foo<2 only matches versions before 2.

•   foo>=3.1 matches any version from 3.1 or later.

•   foo=1.2.3 requires that foo must be exactly version 1.2.3.

    The following variables may be set upon return. Two sets of values exist: One for the common case (<XXX> = <prefix>) and another for the information pkg-config provides when called with the --static option (<XXX> = <prefix>_STATIC).

<XXX>_FOUND
    set to 1 if module(s) exist

<XXX>_LIBRARIES
    only the libraries (without the '-l')

<XXX>_LINK_LIBRARIES
    the libraries and their absolute paths

<XXX>_LIBRARY_DIRS
    the paths of the libraries (without the '-L')

<XXX>_LDFLAGS
    all required linker flags

<XXX>_LDFLAGS_OTHER
    all other linker flags

<XXX>_INCLUDE_DIRS
    the '-I' preprocessor flags (without the '-I')

<XXX>_CFLAGS
    all required cflags

<XXX>_CFLAGS_OTHER
    the other compiler flags

    All but <XXX>_FOUND may be a ;-list if the associated variable returned from pkg-config has multiple values.

    Changed in version 3.18: Include directories specified with -isystem are stored in the <XXX>_INCLUDE_DIRS variable. Previous versions of CMake left them in <XXX>_CFLAGS_OTHER.

    There are some special variables whose prefix depends on the number of <moduleSpec> given. When there is only one <moduleSpec>, <YYY> will simply be <prefix>, but if two or more <moduleSpec> items are given, <YYY> will be <prefix>_<moduleName>.

<YYY>_VERSION
    version of the module

<YYY>_PREFIX
    prefix directory of the module

<YYY>_INCLUDEDIR
    include directory of the module

<YYY>_LIBDIR
    lib directory of the module

    Changed in version 3.8: For any given <prefix>, pkg_check_modules() can be called multiple times with different parameters. Previous versions of CMake cached and returned the first successful result.

    Changed in version 3.16: If a full path to the found library can't be determined, but it's still visible to the linker, pass it through as -l<name>. Previous versions of CMake failed in this case.

    Examples:

        pkg_check_modules (GLIB2 glib-2.0)

    Looks for any version of glib2. If found, the output variable GLIB2_VERSION will hold the actual version found.

        pkg_check_modules (GLIB2 glib-2.0>=2.10)

    Looks for at least version 2.10 of glib2. If found, the output variable GLIB2_VERSION will hold the actual version found.

        pkg_check_modules (FOO glib-2.0>=2.10 gtk+-2.0)

    Looks for both glib2-2.0 (at least version 2.10) and any version of gtk2+-2.0. Only if both are found will FOO be considered found. The FOO_glib-2.0_VERSION and FOO_gtk+-2.0_VERSION variables will be set to their respective found module versions.

        pkg_check_modules (XRENDER REQUIRED xrender)

    Requires any version of xrender. Example output variables set by a successful call:

        XRENDER_LIBRARIES=Xrender;X11
        XRENDER_STATIC_LIBRARIES=Xrender;X11;pthread;Xau;Xdmcp

pkg_search_module
    The behavior of this command is the same as pkg_check_modules(), except that rather than checking for all the specified modules, it searches for just the first successful match.

        pkg_search_module(<prefix>
                          [REQUIRED] [QUIET]
                          [NO_CMAKE_PATH]
                          [NO_CMAKE_ENVIRONMENT_PATH]
                          [IMPORTED_TARGET [GLOBAL]]
                          <moduleSpec> [<moduleSpec>...])

    Added in version 3.16: If a module is found, the <prefix>_MODULE_NAME variable will contain the name of the matching module. This variable can be used if you need to run pkg_get_variable().

    Example:

        pkg_search_module (BAR libxml-2.0 libxml2 libxml>=2)

pkg_get_variable
    Added in version 3.4.

    Retrieves the value of a pkg-config variable varName and stores it in the result variable resultVar in the calling scope.

        pkg_get_variable(<resultVar> <moduleName> <varName>
                         [DEFINE_VARIABLES <key>=<value>...])

    If pkg-config returns multiple values for the specified variable, resultVar will contain a ;-list.

    Options:

DEFINE_VARIABLES <key>=<value>...
    Added in version 3.28.

    Specify key-value pairs to redefine variables affecting the variable retrieved with pkg-config.

    For example:

        pkg_get_variable(GI_GIRDIR gobject-introspection-1.0 girdir)

  Variables Affecting Behavior

PKG_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE
    This cache variable can be set to the path of the pkg-config executable. find_program() is called internally by the module with this variable.

    Added in version 3.1: The PKG_CONFIG environment variable can be used as a hint if PKG_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE has not yet been set.

    Changed in version 3.22: If the PKG_CONFIG environment variable is set, only the first argument is taken from it when using it as a hint.

PKG_CONFIG_ARGN
    Added in version 3.22.

    This cache variable can be set to a list of arguments to additionally pass to pkg-config if needed. If not provided, it will be initialized from the PKG_CONFIG environment variable, if set. The first argument in that environment variable is assumed to be the pkg-config program, while all remaining arguments after that are used to initialize PKG_CONFIG_ARGN. If no such environment variable is defined, PKG_CONFIG_ARGN is initialized to an empty string. The module does not update the variable once it has been set in the cache.

PKG_CONFIG_USE_CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH
    Added in version 3.1.

    Specifies whether pkg_check_modules() and pkg_search_module() should add the paths in the CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH, CMAKE_FRAMEWORK_PATH and CMAKE_APPBUNDLE_PATH cache and environment variables to the pkg-config search path.

    If this variable is not set, this behavior is enabled by default if CMAKE_MINIMUM_REQUIRED_VERSION is 3.1 or later, disabled otherwise.

  FindPNG

Find libpng, the official reference library for the PNG image format.

  Imported Targets

Added in version 3.5.

This module defines the following IMPORTED target:

PNG::PNG
    The libpng library, if found.

  Result variables

This module will set the following variables in your project:

PNG_INCLUDE_DIRS
    where to find png.h, etc.

PNG_LIBRARIES
    the libraries to link against to use PNG.

PNG_DEFINITIONS
    You should add_definitions(${PNG_DEFINITIONS}) before compiling code that includes png library files.

PNG_FOUND
    If false, do not try to use PNG.

PNG_VERSION_STRING
    the version of the PNG library found (since CMake 2.8.8)

  Obsolete variables

The following variables may also be set, for backwards compatibility:

PNG_LIBRARY
    where to find the PNG library.

PNG_INCLUDE_DIR
    where to find the PNG headers (same as PNG_INCLUDE_DIRS)

    Since PNG depends on the ZLib compression library, none of the above will be defined unless ZLib can be found.

  FindPostgreSQL

Find the PostgreSQL installation.

  Imported Targets

Added in version 3.14.

This module defines IMPORTED target PostgreSQL::PostgreSQL if PostgreSQL has been found.

  Result Variables

This module will set the following variables in your project:

PostgreSQL_FOUND
    True if PostgreSQL is found.

PostgreSQL_LIBRARIES
    the PostgreSQL libraries needed for linking

PostgreSQL_INCLUDE_DIRS
    the directories of the PostgreSQL headers

PostgreSQL_LIBRARY_DIRS
    the link directories for PostgreSQL libraries

PostgreSQL_VERSION_STRING
    the version of PostgreSQL found

PostgreSQL_TYPE_INCLUDE_DIR
    the directories of the PostgreSQL server headers

  Components

This module contains additional Server component, that forcibly checks for the presence of server headers. Note that PostgreSQL_TYPE_INCLUDE_DIR is set regardless of the presence of the Server component in find_package call.

  FindProducer

Though Producer isn't directly part of OpenSceneGraph, its primary user is OSG so I consider this part of the Findosg* suite used to find OpenSceneGraph components. You'll notice that I accept OSGDIR as an environment path.

Each component is separate and you must opt in to each module. You must also opt into OpenGL (and OpenThreads?) as these modules won't do it for you. This is to allow you control over your own system piece by piece in case you need to opt out of certain components or change the Find behavior for a particular module (perhaps because the default FindOpenGL module doesn't work with your system as an example). If you want to use a more convenient module that includes everything, use the FindOpenSceneGraph instead of the Findosg*.cmake modules.

Locate Producer This module defines:

PRODUCER_LIBRARY

PRODUCER_FOUND
    if false, do not try to link to Producer

PRODUCER_INCLUDE_DIR
    where to find the headers

    $PRODUCER_DIR is an environment variable that would correspond to:

        ./configure --prefix=$PRODUCER_DIR

    used in building osg.

  FindProtobuf

Locate and configure the Google Protocol Buffers library.

Added in version 3.6: Support for find_package() version checks.

Changed in version 3.6: All input and output variables use the Protobuf_ prefix. Variables with PROTOBUF_ prefix are still supported for compatibility.

The following variables can be set and are optional:

Protobuf_SRC_ROOT_FOLDER
    When compiling with MSVC, if this cache variable is set the protobuf-default VS project build locations (vsprojects/Debug and vsprojects/Release or vsprojects/x64/Debug and vsprojects/x64/Release) will be searched for libraries and binaries.

Protobuf_IMPORT_DIRS
    List of additional directories to be searched for imported .proto files.

Protobuf_DEBUG
    Added in version 3.6.

    Show debug messages.

Protobuf_USE_STATIC_LIBS
    Added in version 3.9.

    Set to ON to force the use of the static libraries. Default is OFF.

    Defines the following variables:

  FindPython

Added in version 3.12.

Find Python interpreter, compiler and development environment (include directories and libraries).

Added in version 3.19: When a version is requested, it can be specified as a simple value or as a range. For a detailed description of version range usage and capabilities, refer to the find_package() command.

The following components are supported:

•   Interpreter: search for Python interpreter.

•   Compiler: search for Python compiler. Only offered by IronPython.

•   Development: search for development artifacts (include directories and libraries).

    Added in version 3.18: This component includes two sub-components which can be specified independently:

•   Development.Module: search for artifacts for Python module developments.

•   Development.Embed: search for artifacts for Python embedding developments.

    Added in version 3.26:

•   Development.SABIModule: search for artifacts for Python module developments using the Stable Application Binary Interface. This component is available only for version 3.2 and upper.

•   NumPy: search for NumPy include directories.

    Added in version 3.14: Added the NumPy component.

    If no COMPONENTS are specified, Interpreter is assumed.

    If component Development is specified, it implies sub-components Development.Module and Development.Embed.

    To ensure consistent versions between components Interpreter, Compiler, Development (or one of its sub-components) and NumPy, specify all components at the same time:

        find_package (Python COMPONENTS Interpreter Development)

    This module looks preferably for version 3 of Python. If not found, version 2 is searched. To manage concurrent versions 3 and 2 of Python, use FindPython3 and FindPython2 modules rather than this one.

    NOTE: If components Interpreter and Development (or one of its sub-components) are both specified, this module search only for interpreter with same platform architecture as the one defined by CMake configuration. This constraint does not apply if only Interpreter component is specified.

  Hints

Python_ROOT_DIR
    Define the root directory of a Python installation.

Python_USE_STATIC_LIBS

•   If not defined, search for shared libraries and static libraries in that order.

•   If set to TRUE, search only for static libraries.

•   If set to FALSE, search only for shared libraries.

    NOTE: This hint will be ignored on Windows because static libraries are not available on this platform.

Python_FIND_ABI
    Added in version 3.16.

    This variable defines which ABIs, as defined in PEP 3149, should be searched.

    NOTE: This hint will be honored only when searched for Python version 3.

    The Python_FIND_ABI variable is a 4-tuple specifying, in that order, pydebug (d), pymalloc (m), unicode (u) and gil_disabled (t) flags.

    Added in version 3.30: A fourth element, specifying the gil_disabled flag (i.e. free threaded python), is added and is optional. If not specified, the value is OFF.

    Each element can be set to one of the following:

•   ON: Corresponding flag is selected.

•   OFF: Corresponding flag is not selected.

•   ANY: The two possibilities (ON and OFF) will be searched.

    NOTE: If Python3_FIND_ABI is not defined, any ABI, excluding the gil_disabled flag, will be searched.

    From this 4-tuple, various ABIs will be searched starting from the most specialized to the most general. Moreover, when ANY is specified for pydebug and gil_disabled, debug and free threaded versions will be searched after non-debug and non-gil-disabled ones.

    For example, if we have:

        set (Python_FIND_ABI "ON" "ANY" "ANY" "ON")

    The following flags combinations will be appended, in that order, to the artifact names: tdmu, tdm, tdu, and td.

    And to search any possible ABIs:

        set (Python_FIND_ABI "ANY" "ANY" "ANY" "ANY")

    The following combinations, in that order, will be used: mu, m, u, <empty>, dmu, dm, du, d, tmu, tm, tu, t, tdmu, tdm, tdu, and td.

    NOTE: This hint is useful only on POSIX systems except for the gil_disabled flag. So, on Windows systems, when Python_FIND_ABI is defined, Python distributions from python.org will be found only if the value for each flag is OFF or ANY except for the fourth one (gil_disabled).

Python_FIND_STRATEGY
    Added in version 3.15.

    This variable defines how lookup will be done. The Python_FIND_STRATEGY variable can be set to one of the following:

•   VERSION: Try to find the most recent version in all specified locations. This is the default if policy CMP0094 is undefined or set to OLD.

•   LOCATION: Stops lookup as soon as a version satisfying version constraints is founded. This is the default if policy CMP0094 is set to NEW.

    See also Python_FIND_UNVERSIONED_NAMES.

Python_FIND_REGISTRY
    Added in version 3.13.

    On Windows the Python_FIND_REGISTRY variable determine the order of preference between registry and environment variables. the Python_FIND_REGISTRY variable can be set to one of the following:

•   FIRST: Try to use registry before environment variables. This is the default.

•   LAST: Try to use registry after environment variables.

•   NEVER: Never try to use registry.

Python_FIND_FRAMEWORK
    Added in version 3.15.

    On macOS the Python_FIND_FRAMEWORK variable determine the order of preference between Apple-style and unix-style package components. This variable can take same values as CMAKE_FIND_FRAMEWORK variable.

    NOTE: Value ONLY is not supported so FIRST will be used instead.

    If Python_FIND_FRAMEWORK is not defined, CMAKE_FIND_FRAMEWORK variable will be used, if any.

Python_FIND_VIRTUALENV
    Added in version 3.15.

    This variable defines the handling of virtual environments managed by virtualenv or conda. It is meaningful only when a virtual environment is active (i.e. the activate script has been evaluated). In this case, it takes precedence over Python_FIND_REGISTRY and CMAKE_FIND_FRAMEWORK variables. The Python_FIND_VIRTUALENV variable can be set to one of the following:

•   FIRST: The virtual environment is used before any other standard paths to look-up for the interpreter. This is the default.

•   ONLY: Only the virtual environment is used to look-up for the interpreter.

•   STANDARD: The virtual environment is not used to look-up for the interpreter but environment variable PATH is always considered. In this case, variable Python_FIND_REGISTRY (Windows) or CMAKE_FIND_FRAMEWORK (macOS) can be set with value LAST or NEVER to select preferably the interpreter from the virtual environment.

    Added in version 3.17: Added support for conda environments.

    NOTE: If the component Development is requested (or one of its sub-components) and is not found or the wrong artifacts are returned, including also the component Interpreter may be helpful.

Python_FIND_IMPLEMENTATIONS
    Added in version 3.18.

    This variable defines, in an ordered list, the different implementations which will be searched. The Python_FIND_IMPLEMENTATIONS variable can hold the following values:

•   CPython: this is the standard implementation. Various products, like Anaconda or ActivePython, rely on this implementation.

•   IronPython: This implementation use the CSharp language for .NET Framework on top of the Dynamic Language Runtime (DLR). See IronPython.

•   PyPy: This implementation use RPython language and RPython translation toolchain to produce the python interpreter. See PyPy.

    The default value is:

•   Windows platform: CPython, IronPython

•   Other platforms: CPython

    NOTE: This hint has the lowest priority of all hints, so even if, for example, you specify IronPython first and CPython in second, a python product based on CPython can be selected because, for example with Python_FIND_STRATEGY=LOCATION, each location will be search first for IronPython and second for CPython.

    NOTE: When IronPython is specified, on platforms other than Windows, the .Net interpreter (i.e. mono command) is expected to be available through the PATH variable.

Python_FIND_UNVERSIONED_NAMES
    Added in version 3.20.

    This variable defines how the generic names will be searched. Currently, it only applies to the generic names of the interpreter, namely, python3 or python2 and python. The Python_FIND_UNVERSIONED_NAMES variable can be set to one of the following values:

•   FIRST: The generic names are searched before the more specialized ones (such as python2.5 for example).

•   LAST: The generic names are searched after the more specialized ones. This is the default.

•   NEVER: The generic name are not searched at all.

    See also Python_FIND_STRATEGY.

  Artifacts Specification

Added in version 3.16.

To solve special cases, it is possible to specify directly the artifacts by setting the following variables:

Python_EXECUTABLE
    The path to the interpreter.

Python_COMPILER
    The path to the compiler.

Python_DOTNET_LAUNCHER
    Added in version 3.18.

    The .Net interpreter. Only used by IronPython implementation.

Python_LIBRARY
    The path to the library. It will be used to compute the variables Python_LIBRARIES, Python_LIBRARY_DIRS and Python_RUNTIME_LIBRARY_DIRS.

Python_SABI_LIBRARY
    Added in version 3.26.

    The path to the library for Stable Application Binary Interface. It will be used to compute the variables Python_SABI_LIBRARIES, Python_SABI_LIBRARY_DIRS and Python_RUNTIME_SABI_LIBRARY_DIRS.

Python_INCLUDE_DIR
    The path to the directory of the Python headers. It will be used to compute the variable Python_INCLUDE_DIRS.

Python_NumPy_INCLUDE_DIR
    The path to the directory of the NumPy headers. It will be used to compute the variable Python_NumPy_INCLUDE_DIRS.

    NOTE: All paths must be absolute. Any artifact specified with a relative path will be ignored.

    NOTE: When an artifact is specified, all HINTS will be ignored and no search will be performed for this artifact.

    If more than one artifact is specified, it is the user's responsibility to ensure the consistency of the various artifacts.

    By default, this module supports multiple calls in different directories of a project with different version/component requirements while providing correct and consistent results for each call. To support this behavior, CMake cache is not used in the traditional way which can be problematic for interactive specification. So, to enable also interactive specification, module behavior can be controlled with the following variable:

Python_ARTIFACTS_INTERACTIVE
    Added in version 3.18.

    Selects the behavior of the module. This is a boolean variable:

•   If set to TRUE: Create CMake cache entries for the above artifact specification variables so that users can edit them interactively. This disables support for multiple version/component requirements.

•   If set to FALSE or undefined: Enable multiple version/component requirements.

Python_ARTIFACTS_PREFIX
    Added in version 4.0.

    Define a custom prefix which will be used for the definition of all the result variables, targets, and commands. By using this variable, this module supports multiple calls in the same directory with different version/component requirements. For example, in case of cross-compilation, development components are needed but the native python interpreter can also be required:

        find_package(Python COMPONENTS Development)
        set(Python_ARTIFACTS_PREFIX "_HOST")
        find_package(Python COMPONENTS Interpreter)
        # Here Python_HOST_EXECUTABLE and Python_HOST::Interpreter artifacts are defined

    NOTE: For consistency with standard behavior of modules, the various standard _FOUND variables (i.e. without the custom prefix) are also defined by each call to the find_package() command.

  Commands

This module defines the command Python_add_library (when CMAKE_ROLE is PROJECT), which has the same semantics as add_library() and adds a dependency to target Python::Python or, when library type is MODULE, to target Python::Module or Python::SABIModule (when USE_SABI option is specified) and takes care of Python module naming rules:

    Python_add_library (<name> [STATIC | SHARED | MODULE [USE_SABI <version>] [WITH_SOABI]]
                        <source1> [<source2> ...])

If the library type is not specified, MODULE is assumed.

Added in version 3.17: For MODULE library type, if option WITH_SOABI is specified, the module suffix will include the Python_SOABI value, if any.

Added in version 3.26: For MODULE type, if the option USE_SABI is specified, the preprocessor definition Py_LIMITED_API will be specified, as PRIVATE, for the target <name> with the value computed from <version> argument. The expected format for <version> is major[.minor], where each component is a numeric value. If minor component is specified, the version should be, at least, 3.2 which is the version where the Stable Application Binary Interface was introduced. Specifying only major version 3 is equivalent to 3.2.

When option WITH_SOABI is also specified, the module suffix will include the Python_SOSABI value, if any.

Added in version 3.30: For MODULE type, the DEBUG_POSTFIX target property is initialized with the value of Python_DEBUG_POSTFIX variable if defined.

  FindPython2

Added in version 3.12.

Find Python 2 interpreter, compiler and development environment (include directories and libraries).

Added in version 3.19: When a version is requested, it can be specified as a simple value or as a range. For a detailed description of version range usage and capabilities, refer to the find_package() command.

The following components are supported:

•   Interpreter: search for Python 2 interpreter

•   Compiler: search for Python 2 compiler. Only offered by IronPython.

•   Development: search for development artifacts (include directories and libraries).

    Added in version 3.18: This component includes two sub-components which can be specified independently:

•   Development.Module: search for artifacts for Python 2 module developments.

•   Development.Embed: search for artifacts for Python 2 embedding developments.

•   NumPy: search for NumPy include directories.

    Added in version 3.14: Added the NumPy component.

    If no COMPONENTS are specified, Interpreter is assumed.

    If component Development is specified, it implies sub-components Development.Module and Development.Embed.

    To ensure consistent versions between components Interpreter, Compiler, Development (or one of its sub-components) and NumPy, specify all components at the same time:

        find_package (Python2 COMPONENTS Interpreter Development)

    This module looks only for version 2 of Python. This module can be used concurrently with FindPython3 module to use both Python versions.

    The FindPython module can be used if Python version does not matter for you.

    NOTE: If components Interpreter and Development (or one of its sub-components) are both specified, this module search only for interpreter with same platform architecture as the one defined by CMake configuration. This constraint does not apply if only Interpreter component is specified.

  Imported Targets

This module defines the following Imported Targets:

Changed in version 3.14: Imported Targets are only created when CMAKE_ROLE is PROJECT.

Python2::Interpreter
    Python 2 interpreter. This target is defined only if the Interpreter component is found.

Python2_USE_STATIC_LIBS

•   If not defined, search for shared libraries and static libraries in that order.

•   If set to TRUE, search only for static libraries.

•   If set to FALSE, search only for shared libraries.

    NOTE: This hint will be ignored on Windows because static libraries are not available on this platform.

Python2_FIND_STRATEGY
    Added in version 3.15.

    This variable defines how lookup will be done. The Python2_FIND_STRATEGY variable can be set to one of the following:

•   VERSION: Try to find the most recent version in all specified locations. This is the default if policy CMP0094 is undefined or set to OLD.

•   LOCATION: Stops lookup as soon as a version satisfying version constraints is founded. This is the default if policy CMP0094 is set to NEW.

    See also Python2_FIND_UNVERSIONED_NAMES.

Python2_FIND_REGISTRY
    Added in version 3.13.

    On Windows the Python2_FIND_REGISTRY variable determine the order of preference between registry and environment variables. the Python2_FIND_REGISTRY variable can be set to one of the following:

•   FIRST: Try to use registry before environment variables. This is the default.

•   LAST: Try to use registry after environment variables.

•   NEVER: Never try to use registry.

Python2_FIND_FRAMEWORK
    Added in version 3.15.

    On macOS the Python2_FIND_FRAMEWORK variable determine the order of preference between Apple-style and unix-style package components. This variable can take same values as CMAKE_FIND_FRAMEWORK variable.

    NOTE: Value ONLY is not supported so FIRST will be used instead.

    If Python2_FIND_FRAMEWORK is not defined, CMAKE_FIND_FRAMEWORK variable will be used, if any.

Python2_FIND_VIRTUALENV
    Added in version 3.15.

    This variable defines the handling of virtual environments managed by virtualenv or conda. It is meaningful only when a virtual environment is active (i.e. the activate script has been evaluated). In this case, it takes precedence over Python2_FIND_REGISTRY and CMAKE_FIND_FRAMEWORK variables. The Python2_FIND_VIRTUALENV variable can be set to one of the following:

•   FIRST: The virtual environment is used before any other standard paths to look-up for the interpreter. This is the default.

•   ONLY: Only the virtual environment is used to look-up for the interpreter.

•   STANDARD: The virtual environment is not used to look-up for the interpreter but environment variable PATH is always considered. In this case, variable Python2_FIND_REGISTRY (Windows) or CMAKE_FIND_FRAMEWORK (macOS) can be set with value LAST or NEVER to select preferably the interpreter from the virtual environment.

    Added in version 3.17: Added support for conda environments.

    NOTE: If the component Development is requested (or one of its sub-components) and is not found or the wrong artifacts are returned, including also the component Interpreter may be helpful.

Python2_FIND_IMPLEMENTATIONS
    Added in version 3.18.

    This variable defines, in an ordered list, the different implementations which will be searched. The Python2_FIND_IMPLEMENTATIONS variable can hold the following values:

•   CPython: this is the standard implementation. Various products, like Anaconda or ActivePython, rely on this implementation.

•   IronPython: This implementation use the CSharp language for .NET Framework on top of the Dynamic Language Runtime (DLR). See IronPython.

•   PyPy: This implementation use RPython language and RPython translation toolchain to produce the python interpreter. See PyPy.

    The default value is:

•   Windows platform: CPython, IronPython

•   Other platforms: CPython

    NOTE: This hint has the lowest priority of all hints, so even if, for example, you specify IronPython first and CPython in second, a python product based on CPython can be selected because, for example with Python2_FIND_STRATEGY=LOCATION, each location will be search first for IronPython and second for CPython.

    NOTE: When IronPython is specified, on platforms other than Windows, the .Net interpreter (i.e. mono command) is expected to be available through the PATH variable.

Python2_FIND_UNVERSIONED_NAMES
    Added in version 3.20.

    This variable defines how the generic names will be searched. Currently, it only applies to the generic names of the interpreter, namely, python2 and python. The Python2_FIND_UNVERSIONED_NAMES variable can be set to one of the following values:

•   FIRST: The generic names are searched before the more specialized ones (such as python2.5 for example).

•   LAST: The generic names are searched after the more specialized ones. This is the default.

•   NEVER: The generic name are not searched at all.

    See also Python2_FIND_STRATEGY.

  Artifacts Specification

Added in version 3.16.

To solve special cases, it is possible to specify directly the artifacts by setting the following variables:

Python2_EXECUTABLE
    The path to the interpreter.

Python2_COMPILER
    The path to the compiler.

Python2_DOTNET_LAUNCHER
    Added in version 3.18.

    The .Net interpreter. Only used by IronPython implementation.

Python2_LIBRARY
    The path to the library. It will be used to compute the variables Python2_LIBRARIES, Python2_LIBRARY_DIRS and Python2_RUNTIME_LIBRARY_DIRS.

Python2_INCLUDE_DIR
    The path to the directory of the Python headers. It will be used to compute the variable Python2_INCLUDE_DIRS.

Python2_NumPy_INCLUDE_DIR
    The path to the directory of the NumPy headers. It will be used to compute the variable Python2_NumPy_INCLUDE_DIRS.

    NOTE: All paths must be absolute. Any artifact specified with a relative path will be ignored.

    NOTE: When an artifact is specified, all HINTS will be ignored and no search will be performed for this artifact.

    If more than one artifact is specified, it is the user's responsibility to ensure the consistency of the various artifacts.

    By default, this module supports multiple calls in different directories of a project with different version/component requirements while providing correct and consistent results for each call. To support this behavior, CMake cache is not used in the traditional way which can be problematic for interactive specification. So, to enable also interactive specification, module behavior can be controlled with the following variable:

Python2_ARTIFACTS_INTERACTIVE
    Added in version 3.18.

    Selects the behavior of the module. This is a boolean variable:

•   If set to TRUE: Create CMake cache entries for the above artifact specification variables so that users can edit them interactively. This disables support for multiple version/component requirements.

•   If set to FALSE or undefined: Enable multiple version/component requirements.

Python2_ARTIFACTS_PREFIX
    Added in version 4.0.

    Define a custom prefix which will be used for the definition of all the result variables, targets, and commands. By using this variable, this module supports multiple calls in the same directory with different version/component requirements. For example, in case of cross-compilation, development components are needed but the native python interpreter can also be required:

        find_package(Python2 COMPONENTS Development)
        set(Python2_ARTIFACTS_PREFIX "_HOST")
        find_package(Python2 COMPONENTS Interpreter)
        # Here Python2_HOST_EXECUTABLE and Python2_HOST::Interpreter artifacts are defined

    NOTE: For consistency with standard behavior of modules, the various standard _FOUND variables (i.e. without the custom prefix) are also defined by each call to the find_package() command.

  Commands

This module defines the command Python2_add_library (when CMAKE_ROLE is PROJECT), which has the same semantics as add_library() and adds a dependency to target Python2::Python or, when library type is MODULE, to target Python2::Module and takes care of Python module naming rules:

    Python2_add_library (<name> [STATIC | SHARED | MODULE]
                         <source1> [<source2> ...])

If library type is not specified, MODULE is assumed.

Added in version 3.30: For MODULE type, the DEBUG_POSTFIX target property is initialized with the value of Python2_DEBUG_POSTFIX variable if defined.

  FindPython3

Added in version 3.12.

Find Python 3 interpreter, compiler and development environment (include directories and libraries).

Added in version 3.19: When a version is requested, it can be specified as a simple value or as a range. For a detailed description of version range usage and capabilities, refer to the find_package() command.

The following components are supported:

•   Interpreter: search for Python 3 interpreter

•   Compiler: search for Python 3 compiler. Only offered by IronPython.

•   Development: search for development artifacts (include directories and libraries).

    Added in version 3.18: This component includes two sub-components which can be specified independently:

•   Development.Module: search for artifacts for Python 3 module developments.

•   Development.Embed: search for artifacts for Python 3 embedding developments.

    Added in version 3.26:

•   Development.SABIModule: search for artifacts for Python 3 module developments using the Stable Application Binary Interface. This component is available only for version 3.2 and upper.

•   NumPy: search for NumPy include directories.

    Added in version 3.14: Added the NumPy component.

    If no COMPONENTS are specified, Interpreter is assumed.

    If component Development is specified, it implies sub-components Development.Module and Development.Embed.

    To ensure consistent versions between components Interpreter, Compiler, Development (or one of its sub-components) and NumPy, specify all components at the same time:

        find_package (Python3 COMPONENTS Interpreter Development)

    This module looks only for version 3 of Python. This module can be used concurrently with FindPython2 module to use both Python versions.

    The FindPython module can be used if Python version does not matter for you.

    NOTE: If components Interpreter and Development (or one of its sub-components) are both specified, this module search only for interpreter with same platform architecture as the one defined by CMake configuration. This constraint does not apply if only Interpreter component is specified.

  Imported Targets

This module defines the following Imported Targets:

Changed in version 3.14: Imported Targets are only created when CMAKE_ROLE is PROJECT.

Python3::Interpreter
    Python 3 interpreter. This target is defined only if the Interpreter component is found.

  Hints

Python3_ROOT_DIR
    Define the root directory of a Python 3 installation.

Python3_USE_STATIC_LIBS

•   If not defined, search for shared libraries and static libraries in that order.

•   If set to TRUE, search only for static libraries.

•   If set to FALSE, search only for shared libraries.

    NOTE: This hint will be ignored on Windows because static libraries are not available on this platform.

Python3_FIND_ABI
    Added in version 3.16.

    This variable defines which ABIs, as defined in PEP 3149, should be searched.

    The Python3_FIND_ABI variable is a 4-tuple specifying, in that order, pydebug (d), pymalloc (m), unicode (u) and gil_disabled (t) flags.

    Added in version 3.30: A fourth element, specifying the gil_disabled flag (i.e. free threaded python), is added and is optional. If not specified, the value is OFF.

    Each element can be set to one of the following:

•   ON: Corresponding flag is selected.

•   OFF: Corresponding flag is not selected.

•   ANY: The two possibilities (ON and OFF) will be searched.

    NOTE: If Python3_FIND_ABI is not defined, any ABI, excluding the gil_disabled flag, will be searched.

    From this 4-tuple, various ABIs will be searched starting from the most specialized to the most general. Moreover, when ANY is specified for pydebug and gil_disabled, debug and free threaded versions will be searched after non-debug and non-gil-disabled ones.

    For example, if we have:

        set (Python3_FIND_ABI "ON" "ANY" "ANY" "ON")

    The following flags combinations will be appended, in that order, to the artifact names: tdmu, tdm, tdu, and td.

    And to search any possible ABIs:

        set (Python3_FIND_ABI "ANY" "ANY" "ANY" "ANY")

    The following combinations, in that order, will be used: mu, m, u, <empty>, dmu, dm, du, d, tmu, tm, tu, t, tdmu, tdm, tdu, and td.

    NOTE: This hint is useful only on POSIX systems except for the gil_disabled flag. So, on Windows systems, when Python_FIND_ABI is defined, Python distributions from python.org will be found only if the value for each flag is OFF or ANY except for the fourth one (gil_disabled).

Python3_FIND_STRATEGY
    Added in version 3.15.

    This variable defines how lookup will be done. The Python3_FIND_STRATEGY variable can be set to one of the following:

•   VERSION: Try to find the most recent version in all specified locations. This is the default if policy CMP0094 is undefined or set to OLD.

•   LOCATION: Stops lookup as soon as a version satisfying version constraints is founded. This is the default if policy CMP0094 is set to NEW.

    See also Python3_FIND_UNVERSIONED_NAMES.

Python3_FIND_REGISTRY
    Added in version 3.13.

    On Windows the Python3_FIND_REGISTRY variable determine the order of preference between registry and environment variables. The Python3_FIND_REGISTRY variable can be set to one of the following:

•   FIRST: Try to use registry before environment variables. This is the default.

•   LAST: Try to use registry after environment variables.

•   NEVER: Never try to use registry.

Python3_FIND_FRAMEWORK
    Added in version 3.15.

    On macOS the Python3_FIND_FRAMEWORK variable determine the order of preference between Apple-style and unix-style package components. This variable can take same values as CMAKE_FIND_FRAMEWORK variable.

    NOTE: Value ONLY is not supported so FIRST will be used instead.

    If Python3_FIND_FRAMEWORK is not defined, CMAKE_FIND_FRAMEWORK variable will be used, if any.

Python3_FIND_VIRTUALENV
    Added in version 3.15.

    This variable defines the handling of virtual environments managed by virtualenv or conda. It is meaningful only when a virtual environment is active (i.e. the activate script has been evaluated). In this case, it takes precedence over Python3_FIND_REGISTRY and CMAKE_FIND_FRAMEWORK variables. The Python3_FIND_VIRTUALENV variable can be set to one of the following:

•   FIRST: The virtual environment is used before any other standard paths to look-up for the interpreter. This is the default.

•   ONLY: Only the virtual environment is used to look-up for the interpreter.

•   STANDARD: The virtual environment is not used to look-up for the interpreter but environment variable PATH is always considered. In this case, variable Python3_FIND_REGISTRY (Windows) or CMAKE_FIND_FRAMEWORK (macOS) can be set with value LAST or NEVER to select preferably the interpreter from the virtual environment.

    Added in version 3.17: Added support for conda environments.

    NOTE: If the component Development is requested (or one of its sub-components) and is not found or the wrong artifacts are returned, including also the component Interpreter may be helpful.

Python3_FIND_IMPLEMENTATIONS
    Added in version 3.18.

    This variable defines, in an ordered list, the different implementations which will be searched. The Python3_FIND_IMPLEMENTATIONS variable can hold the following values:

•   CPython: this is the standard implementation. Various products, like Anaconda or ActivePython, rely on this implementation.

•   IronPython: This implementation use the CSharp language for .NET Framework on top of the Dynamic Language Runtime (DLR). See IronPython.

•   PyPy: This implementation use RPython language and RPython translation toolchain to produce the python interpreter. See PyPy.

    The default value is:

•   Windows platform: CPython, IronPython

•   Other platforms: CPython

    NOTE: This hint has the lowest priority of all hints, so even if, for example, you specify IronPython first and CPython in second, a python product based on CPython can be selected because, for example with Python3_FIND_STRATEGY=LOCATION, each location will be search first for IronPython and second for CPython.

    NOTE: When IronPython is specified, on platforms other than Windows, the .Net interpreter (i.e. mono command) is expected to be available through the PATH variable.

Python3_FIND_UNVERSIONED_NAMES
    Added in version 3.20.

    This variable defines how the generic names will be searched. Currently, it only applies to the generic names of the interpreter, namely, python3 and python. The Python3_FIND_UNVERSIONED_NAMES variable can be set to one of the following values:

•   FIRST: The generic names are searched before the more specialized ones (such as python3.5 for example).

•   LAST: The generic names are searched after the more specialized ones. This is the default.

•   NEVER: The generic name are not searched at all.

    See also Python3_FIND_STRATEGY.

  Artifacts Specification

Added in version 3.16.

To solve special cases, it is possible to specify directly the artifacts by setting the following variables:

Python3_EXECUTABLE
    The path to the interpreter.

Python3_COMPILER
    The path to the compiler.

Python3_DOTNET_LAUNCHER
    Added in version 3.18.

    The .Net interpreter. Only used by IronPython implementation.

Python3_LIBRARY
    The path to the library. It will be used to compute the variables Python3_LIBRARIES, Python3_LIBRARY_DIRS and Python3_RUNTIME_LIBRARY_DIRS.

Python3_SABI_LIBRARY
    Added in version 3.26.

    The path to the library for Stable Application Binary Interface. It will be used to compute the variables Python3_SABI_LIBRARIES, Python3_SABI_LIBRARY_DIRS and Python3_RUNTIME_SABI_LIBRARY_DIRS.

Python3_INCLUDE_DIR
    The path to the directory of the Python headers. It will be used to compute the variable Python3_INCLUDE_DIRS.

Python3_NumPy_INCLUDE_DIR
    The path to the directory of the NumPy headers. It will be used to compute the variable Python3_NumPy_INCLUDE_DIRS.

    NOTE: All paths must be absolute. Any artifact specified with a relative path will be ignored.

    NOTE: When an artifact is specified, all HINTS will be ignored and no search will be performed for this artifact.

    If more than one artifact is specified, it is the user's responsibility to ensure the consistency of the various artifacts.

    By default, this module supports multiple calls in different directories of a project with different version/component requirements while providing correct and consistent results for each call. To support this behavior, CMake cache is not used in the traditional way which can be problematic for interactive specification. So, to enable also interactive specification, module behavior can be controlled with the following variable:

Python3_ARTIFACTS_INTERACTIVE
    Added in version 3.18.

    Selects the behavior of the module. This is a boolean variable:

•   If set to TRUE: Create CMake cache entries for the above artifact specification variables so that users can edit them interactively. This disables support for multiple version/component requirements.

•   If set to FALSE or undefined: Enable multiple version/component requirements.

Python3_ARTIFACTS_PREFIX
    Added in version 4.0.

    Define a custom prefix which will be used for the definition of all the result variables, targets, and commands. By using this variable, this module supports multiple calls in the same directory with different version/component requirements. For example, in case of cross-compilation, development components are needed but the native python interpreter can also be required:

        find_package(Python3 COMPONENTS Development)
        set(Python3_ARTIFACTS_PREFIX "_HOST")
        find_package(Python3 COMPONENTS Interpreter)
        # Here Python3_HOST_EXECUTABLE and Python3_HOST::Interpreter artifacts are defined

    NOTE: For consistency with standard behavior of modules, the various standard _FOUND variables (i.e. without the custom prefix) are also defined by each call to the find_package() command.

  Commands

This module defines the command Python3_add_library (when CMAKE_ROLE is PROJECT), which has the same semantics as add_library() and adds a dependency to target Python3::Python or, when library type is MODULE, to target Python3::Module or Python3::SABIModule (when USE_SABI option is specified) and takes care of Python module naming rules:

    Python3_add_library (<name> [STATIC | SHARED | MODULE [USE_SABI <version>] [WITH_SOABI]]
                         <source1> [<source2> ...])

If the library type is not specified, MODULE is assumed.

Added in version 3.17: For MODULE library type, if option WITH_SOABI is specified, the module suffix will include the Python3_SOABI value, if any.

Added in version 3.26: For MODULE type, if the option USE_SABI is specified, the preprocessor definition Py_LIMITED_API will be specified, as PRIVATE, for the target <name> with the value computed from <version> argument. The expected format for <version> is major[.minor], where each component is a numeric value. If minor component is specified, the version should be, at least, 3.2 which is the version where the Stable Application Binary Interface was introduced. Specifying only major version 3 is equivalent to 3.2.

When option WITH_SOABI is also specified, the module suffix will include the Python3_SOSABI value, if any.

Added in version 3.30: For MODULE type, the DEBUG_POSTFIX target property is initialized with the value of Python3_DEBUG_POSTFIX variable if defined.

  FindQt3

Locate Qt include paths and libraries

This module defines:

    QT_INCLUDE_DIR    - where to find qt.h, etc.
    QT_LIBRARIES      - the libraries to link against to use Qt.
    QT_DEFINITIONS    - definitions to use when
                        compiling code that uses Qt.
    QT_FOUND          - If false, don't try to use Qt.
    QT_VERSION_STRING - the version of Qt found

If you need the multithreaded version of Qt, set QT_MT_REQUIRED to TRUE

Also defined, but not for general use are:

    QT_MOC_EXECUTABLE, where to find the moc tool.
    QT_UIC_EXECUTABLE, where to find the uic tool.
    QT_QT_LIBRARY, where to find the Qt library.
    QT_QTMAIN_LIBRARY, where to find the qtmain
     library. This is only required by Qt3 on Windows.

  FindQt4

  Finding and Using Qt4

This module can be used to find Qt4. The most important issue is that the Qt4 qmake is available via the system path. This qmake is then used to detect basically everything else. This module defines a number of IMPORTED targets, macros and variables.

Typical usage could be something like:

    set(CMAKE_AUTOMOC ON)
    set(CMAKE_INCLUDE_CURRENT_DIR ON)
    find_package(Qt4 4.4.3 REQUIRED QtGui QtXml)
    add_executable(myexe main.cpp)
    target_link_libraries(myexe Qt4::QtGui Qt4::QtXml)

NOTE: When using IMPORTED targets, the qtmain.lib static library is automatically linked on Windows for WIN32 executables. To disable that globally, set the QT4_NO_LINK_QTMAIN variable before finding Qt4. To disable that for a particular executable, set the QT4_NO_LINK_QTMAIN target property to TRUE on the executable.

  Qt Build Tools

Qt relies on some bundled tools for code generation, such as moc for meta-object code generation, uic for widget layout and population, and rcc for virtual filesystem content generation. These tools may be automatically invoked by cmake(1) if the appropriate conditions are met. See cmake-qt(7) for more.

  Qt Macros

In some cases it can be necessary or useful to invoke the Qt build tools in a more-manual way. Several macros are available to add targets for such uses.

    macro QT4_WRAP_CPP(outfiles inputfile ... [TARGET tgt] OPTIONS ...)
          create moc code from a list of files containing Qt class with
          the Q_OBJECT declaration.  Per-directory preprocessor definitions
          are also added.  If the <tgt> is specified, the
          INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES and INTERFACE_COMPILE_DEFINITIONS from
          the <tgt> are passed to moc.  Options may be given to moc, such as
          those found when executing "moc -help".

    macro QT4_WRAP_UI(outfiles inputfile ... OPTIONS ...)
          create code from a list of Qt designer ui files.
          Options may be given to uic, such as those found
          when executing "uic -help"

    macro QT4_ADD_RESOURCES(outfiles inputfile ... OPTIONS ...)
          create code from a list of Qt resource files.
          Options may be given to rcc, such as those found
          when executing "rcc -help"

    macro QT4_GENERATE_MOC(inputfile outputfile [TARGET tgt])
          creates a rule to run moc on infile and create outfile.
          Use this if for some reason QT4_WRAP_CPP() isn't appropriate, e.g.
          because you need a custom filename for the moc file or something
          similar.  If the <tgt> is specified, the
          INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES and INTERFACE_COMPILE_DEFINITIONS from
          the <tgt> are passed to moc.

    macro QT4_ADD_DBUS_INTERFACE(outfiles interface basename)
          Create the interface header and implementation files with the
          given basename from the given interface xml file and add it to
          the list of sources.
          You can pass additional parameters to the qdbusxml2cpp call by setting
          properties on the input file:
          INCLUDE the given file will be included in the generate interface header
          CLASSNAME the generated class is named accordingly
          NO_NAMESPACE the generated class is not wrapped in a namespace

    macro QT4_ADD_DBUS_INTERFACES(outfiles inputfile ... )
          Create the interface header and implementation files
          for all listed interface xml files.
          The basename will be automatically determined from the name
          of the xml file.
          The source file properties described for
          QT4_ADD_DBUS_INTERFACE also apply here.

    macro QT4_ADD_DBUS_ADAPTOR(outfiles xmlfile parentheader parentclassname
                               [basename] [classname])
          create a dbus adaptor (header and implementation file) from the xml file
          describing the interface, and add it to the list of sources. The adaptor
          forwards the calls to a parent class, defined in parentheader and named
          parentclassname. The name of the generated files will be
          <basename>adaptor.{cpp,h} where basename defaults to the basename of the
          xml file.
          If <classname> is provided, then it will be used as the classname of the
          adaptor itself.

    macro QT4_GENERATE_DBUS_INTERFACE( header [interfacename] OPTIONS ...)
          generate the xml interface file from the given header.
          If the optional argument interfacename is omitted, the name of the
          interface file is constructed from the basename of the header with
          the suffix .xml appended.
          Options may be given to qdbuscpp2xml, such as those found when
          executing "qdbuscpp2xml --help"

    macro QT4_CREATE_TRANSLATION( qm_files directories ... sources ...
                                  ts_files ... OPTIONS ...)
          out: qm_files
          in:  directories sources ts_files
          options: flags to pass to lupdate, such as -extensions to specify
          extensions for a directory scan.
          generates commands to create .ts (via lupdate) and .qm
          (via lrelease) - files from directories and/or sources. The ts files are
          created and/or updated in the source tree (unless given with full paths).
          The qm files are generated in the build tree.
          Updating the translations can be done by adding the qm_files
          to the source list of your library/executable, so they are
          always updated, or by adding a custom target to control when
          they get updated/generated.

    macro QT4_ADD_TRANSLATION( qm_files ts_files ... )
          out: qm_files
          in:  ts_files
          generates commands to create .qm from .ts - files. The generated
          filenames can be found in qm_files. The ts_files
          must exist and are not updated in any way.

    macro QT4_AUTOMOC(sourcefile1 sourcefile2 ... [TARGET tgt])
          The qt4_automoc macro is obsolete.  Use the CMAKE_AUTOMOC feature instead.
          This macro is still experimental.
          It can be used to have moc automatically handled.
          So if you have the files foo.h and foo.cpp, and in foo.h a
          a class uses the Q_OBJECT macro, moc has to run on it. If you don't
          want to use QT4_WRAP_CPP() (which is reliable and mature), you can insert
          #include "foo.moc"
          in foo.cpp and then give foo.cpp as argument to QT4_AUTOMOC(). This will
          scan all listed files at cmake-time for such included moc files and if it
          finds them cause a rule to be generated to run moc at build time on the
          accompanying header file foo.h.
          If a source file has the SKIP_AUTOMOC property set it will be ignored by
          this macro.
          If the <tgt> is specified, the INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES and
          INTERFACE_COMPILE_DEFINITIONS from the <tgt> are passed to moc.

    function QT4_USE_MODULES( target [link_type] modules...)
           This function is obsolete. Use target_link_libraries with IMPORTED targets
           instead.
           Make <target> use the <modules> from Qt. Using a Qt module means
           to link to the library, add the relevant include directories for the
           module, and add the relevant compiler defines for using the module.
           Modules are roughly equivalent to components of Qt4, so usage would be
           something like:
            qt4_use_modules(myexe Core Gui Declarative)
           to use QtCore, QtGui and QtDeclarative. The optional <link_type> argument
           can be specified as either LINK_PUBLIC or LINK_PRIVATE to specify the
           same argument to the target_link_libraries call.

  Imported Targets

A particular Qt library may be used by using the corresponding IMPORTED target with the target_link_libraries() command:

    target_link_libraries(myexe Qt4::QtGui Qt4::QtXml)

Using a target in this way causes :cmake(1)` to use the appropriate include directories and compile definitions for the target when compiling myexe.

Targets are aware of their dependencies, so for example it is not necessary to list Qt4::QtCore if another Qt library is listed, and it is not necessary to list Qt4::QtGui if Qt4::QtDeclarative is listed. Targets may be tested for existence in the usual way with the if(TARGET) command.

The Qt toolkit may contain both debug and release libraries. cmake(1) will choose the appropriate version based on the build configuration.

Qt4::QtCore
    The QtCore target

Qt4::QtGui
    The QtGui target

Qt4::Qt3Support

  Hints

Ruby_FIND_VIRTUALENV
    Added in version 3.18.

    This variable defines the handling of virtual environments. It can be left empty or be set to one of the following values:

•

FIRST: Virtual Ruby environments are searched for first,
    then the system Ruby installation. This is the default.

•   ONLY: Only virtual environments are searched

•   STANDARD: Only the system Ruby installation is searched.

    Virtual environments may be provided by:

rvm Requires that the MY_RUBY_HOME environment environment is defined.

rbenv
    Requires that rbenv is installed in ~/.rbenv/bin or that the RBENV_ROOT environment variable is defined.

  FindSDL

Locate the SDL library

  Imported Targets

Added in version 3.19.

This module defines the following IMPORTED target:

SDL::SDL
    The SDL library, if found

  Result variables

This module will set the following variables in your project:

SDL_INCLUDE_DIRS
    where to find SDL.h

SDL_LIBRARIES
    the name of the library to link against

SDL_FOUND
    if false, do not try to link to SDL

SDL_VERSION
    the human-readable string containing the version of SDL if found

SDL_VERSION_MAJOR
    SDL major version

SDL_VERSION_MINOR
    SDL minor version

SDL_VERSION_PATCH
    SDL patch version

    Added in version 3.19: Added the SDL_INCLUDE_DIRS, SDL_LIBRARIES and SDL_VERSION[_<PART>] variables.

  Cache variables

These variables may optionally be set to help this module find the correct files:

SDL_INCLUDE_DIR
    where to find SDL.h

SDL_LIBRARY
    the name of the library to link against

  Variables for locating SDL

This module responds to the flag:

SDL_BUILDING_LIBRARY
    If this is defined, then no SDL_main will be linked in because only applications need main(). Otherwise, it is assumed you are building an application and this module will attempt to locate and set the proper link flags as part of the returned SDL_LIBRARY variable.

  Obsolete variables

Deprecated since version 3.19.

These variables are obsolete and provided for backwards compatibility:

SDL_VERSION_STRING
    the human-readable string containing the version of SDL if found. Identical to SDL_VERSION

    Don't forget to include SDLmain.h and SDLmain.m your project for the OS X framework based version. (Other versions link to -lSDLmain which this module will try to find on your behalf.) Also for OS X, this module will automatically add the -framework Cocoa on your behalf.

    Additional Note: If you see an empty SDL_LIBRARY_TEMP in your configuration and no SDL_LIBRARY, it means CMake did not find your SDL library (SDL.dll, libsdl.so, SDL.framework, etc). Set SDL_LIBRARY_TEMP to point to your SDL library, and configure again. Similarly, if you see an empty SDLMAIN_LIBRARY, you should set this value as appropriate. These values are used to generate the final SDL_LIBRARY variable, but when these values are unset, SDL_LIBRARY does not get created.

    $SDLDIR is an environment variable that would correspond to the ./configure --prefix=$SDLDIR used in building SDL. l.e.galup 9-20-02

    On OSX, this will prefer the Framework version (if found) over others. People will have to manually change the cache values of SDL_LIBRARY to override this selection or set the CMake environment CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH to modify the search paths.

    Note that the header path has changed from SDL/SDL.h to just SDL.h This needed to change because "proper" SDL convention is #include "SDL.h", not <SDL/SDL.h>. This is done for portability reasons because not all systems place things in SDL/ (see FreeBSD).

  FindSDL_image

Locate SDL_image library

This module defines:

    SDL_IMAGE_LIBRARIES, the name of the library to link against
    SDL_IMAGE_INCLUDE_DIRS, where to find the headers
    SDL_IMAGE_FOUND, if false, do not try to link against
    SDL_IMAGE_VERSION_STRING - human-readable string containing the
                               version of SDL_image

For backward compatibility the following variables are also set:

    SDLIMAGE_LIBRARY (same value as SDL_IMAGE_LIBRARIES)
    SDLIMAGE_INCLUDE_DIR (same value as SDL_IMAGE_INCLUDE_DIRS)
    SDLIMAGE_FOUND (same value as SDL_IMAGE_FOUND)

$SDLDIR is an environment variable that would correspond to the ./configure --prefix=$SDLDIR used in building SDL.

This module defines:

    SDL::SDL_gfx, the name of the target to use with target_*() commands
    SDL_GFX_LIBRARIES, the name of the library to link against
    SDL_GFX_INCLUDE_DIRS, where to find the headers
    SDL_GFX_FOUND, if false, do not try to link against
    SDL_GFX_VERSION_STRING - human-readable string containing the
                               version of SDL_gfx

$SDLDIR is an environment variable that would correspond to the ./configure --prefix=$SDLDIR used in building SDL.

  FindSDL_mixer

Locate SDL_mixer library

This module defines:

    SDL_MIXER_LIBRARIES, the name of the library to link against
    SDL_MIXER_INCLUDE_DIRS, where to find the headers
    SDL_MIXER_FOUND, if false, do not try to link against
    SDL_MIXER_VERSION_STRING - human-readable string containing the
                               version of SDL_mixer

For backward compatibility the following variables are also set:

    SDLMIXER_LIBRARY (same value as SDL_MIXER_LIBRARIES)
    SDLMIXER_INCLUDE_DIR (same value as SDL_MIXER_INCLUDE_DIRS)
    SDLMIXER_FOUND (same value as SDL_MIXER_FOUND)

$SDLDIR is an environment variable that would correspond to the ./configure --prefix=$SDLDIR used in building SDL.

  FindSDL_net

Locate SDL_net library

This module defines:

    SDL_NET_LIBRARIES, the name of the library to link against
    SDL_NET_INCLUDE_DIRS, where to find the headers
    SDL_NET_FOUND, if false, do not try to link against
    SDL_NET_VERSION_STRING - human-readable string containing the version of SDL_net

For backward compatibility the following variables are also set:

    SDLNET_LIBRARY (same value as SDL_NET_LIBRARIES)
    SDLNET_INCLUDE_DIR (same value as SDL_NET_INCLUDE_DIRS)
    SDLNET_FOUND (same value as SDL_NET_FOUND)

$SDLDIR is an environment variable that would correspond to the ./configure --prefix=$SDLDIR used in building SDL.

  FindSDL_sound

Locates the SDL_sound library

This module depends on SDL being found and must be called AFTER FindSDL.cmake is called.

This module defines

    SDL_SOUND_INCLUDE_DIR, where to find SDL_sound.h
    SDL_SOUND_FOUND, if false, do not try to link to SDL_sound
    SDL_SOUND_LIBRARIES, this contains the list of libraries that you need
      to link against.
    SDL_SOUND_EXTRAS, this is an optional variable for you to add your own
      flags to SDL_SOUND_LIBRARIES. This is prepended to SDL_SOUND_LIBRARIES.
      This is available mostly for cases this module failed to anticipate for
      and you must add additional flags. This is marked as ADVANCED.
    SDL_SOUND_VERSION_STRING, human-readable string containing the
      version of SDL_sound

This module also defines (but you shouldn't need to use directly)

    SDL_SOUND_LIBRARY, the name of just the SDL_sound library you would link
    against. Use SDL_SOUND_LIBRARIES for you link instructions and not this one.

And might define the following as needed

    MIKMOD_LIBRARY
    MODPLUG_LIBRARY
    OGG_LIBRARY
    VORBIS_LIBRARY
    SMPEG_LIBRARY
    FLAC_LIBRARY
    SPEEX_LIBRARY

Typically, you should not use these variables directly, and you should use SDL_SOUND_LIBRARIES which contains SDL_SOUND_LIBRARY and the other audio libraries (if needed) to successfully compile on your system.

Responds to the $SDLDIR and $SDLSOUNDDIR environmental variable that would correspond to the ./configure --prefix=$SDLDIR used in building SDL.

On OSX, this will prefer the Framework version (if found) over others. People will have to manually change the cache values of SDL_LIBRARY to override this selectionor set the CMake environment CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH to modify the search paths.

  FindSDL_ttf

Locate SDL_ttf library

This module defines:

    SDL_TTF_LIBRARIES, the name of the library to link against
    SDL_TTF_INCLUDE_DIRS, where to find the headers
    SDL_TTF_FOUND, if false, do not try to link against

For backward compatibility the following variables are also set:

    SDLTTF_LIBRARY (same value as SDL_TTF_LIBRARIES)
    SDLTTF_INCLUDE_DIR (same value as SDL_TTF_INCLUDE_DIRS)
    SDLTTF_FOUND (same value as SDL_TTF_FOUND)

$SDLDIR is an environment variable that would correspond to the ./configure --prefix=$SDLDIR used in building SDL.

  FindSelfPackers

    UPX: http://wildsau.idv.uni-linz.ac.at/mfx/upx.html

  FindSquish

-- Typical Use

This module can be used to find Squish.

    SQUISH_FOUND                    If false, don't try to use Squish
    SQUISH_VERSION                  The full version of Squish found
    SQUISH_VERSION_MAJOR            The major version of Squish found
    SQUISH_VERSION_MINOR            The minor version of Squish found

    SQUISH_SERVER_EXECUTABLE        The squishserver executable
    SQUISH_CLIENT_EXECUTABLE        The squishrunner executable

    SQUISH_INSTALL_DIR_FOUND        Was the install directory found?
    SQUISH_SERVER_EXECUTABLE_FOUND  Was the server executable found?
    SQUISH_CLIENT_EXECUTABLE_FOUND  Was the client executable found?

It provides the function squish_add_test() for adding a squish test to cmake using Squish >= 4.x:

    squish_add_test(cmakeTestName
      AUT targetName SUITE suiteName TEST squishTestName
      [SETTINGSGROUP group] [PRE_COMMAND command] [POST_COMMAND command] )

Changed in version 3.18: In previous CMake versions, this function was named squish_v4_add_test.

The arguments have the following meaning:

cmakeTestName
    this will be used as the first argument for add_test()

AUT targetName
    the name of the cmake target which will be used as AUT, i.e. the executable which will be tested.

SUITE suiteName
    this is either the full path to the squish suite, or just the last directory of the suite, i.e. the suite name. In this case the CMakeLists.txt which calls squish_add_test() must be located in the parent directory of the suite directory.

TEST squishTestName
    the name of the squish test, i.e. the name of the subdirectory of the test inside the suite directory.

SETTINGSGROUP group
    deprecated, this argument will be ignored.

PRE_COMMAND command
    if specified, the given command will be executed before starting the squish test.

POST_COMMAND command
    same as PRE_COMMAND, but after the squish test has been executed.

        enable_testing()
        find_package(Squish 6.5)
        if (SQUISH_FOUND)
           squish_add_test(myTestName
             AUT myApp
             SUITE ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/tests/mySuite
             TEST someSquishTest
             )
        endif ()

    For users of Squish version 3.x the macro squish_v3_add_test() is provided:

        squish_v3_add_test(testName applicationUnderTest testCase envVars testWrapper)
        Use this macro to add a test using Squish 3.x.

        enable_testing()
        find_package(Squish 3.0)
        if (SQUISH_FOUND)
          squish_v3_add_test(myTestName myApplication testCase envVars testWrapper)
        endif ()

  FindSQLite3

Added in version 3.14.

Find the SQLite libraries, v3

  Imported Targets

This module defines the following IMPORTED target:

SQLite::SQLite3

  Result variables

This module will set the following variables if found:

SQLite3_INCLUDE_DIRS
    where to find sqlite3.h, etc.

SQLite3_LIBRARIES
    the libraries to link against to use SQLite3.

SQLite3_VERSION
    version of the SQLite3 library found

SQLite3_FOUND
    TRUE if found

  FindSubversion

Extract information from a subversion working copy

The module defines the following variables:

    Subversion_SVN_EXECUTABLE - path to svn command line client
    Subversion_VERSION_SVN - version of svn command line client
    Subversion_FOUND - true if the command line client was found
    SUBVERSION_FOUND - same as Subversion_FOUND, set for compatibility reasons

The minimum required version of Subversion can be specified using the standard syntax, e.g. find_package(Subversion 1.4).

If the command line client executable is found two macros are defined:

    Subversion_WC_INFO(<dir> <var-prefix> [IGNORE_SVN_FAILURE])
    Subversion_WC_LOG(<dir> <var-prefix>)

Subversion_WC_INFO extracts information of a subversion working copy at a given location. This macro defines the following variables if running Subversion's info command on <dir> succeeds; otherwise a SEND_ERROR message is generated.

Added in version 3.13: The error can be ignored by providing the IGNORE_SVN_FAILURE option, which causes these variables to remain undefined.

    <var-prefix>_WC_URL - url of the repository (at <dir>)
    <var-prefix>_WC_ROOT - root url of the repository
    <var-prefix>_WC_REVISION - current revision
    <var-prefix>_WC_LAST_CHANGED_AUTHOR - author of last commit
    <var-prefix>_WC_LAST_CHANGED_DATE - date of last commit
    <var-prefix>_WC_LAST_CHANGED_REV - revision of last commit
    <var-prefix>_WC_INFO - output of command `svn info <dir>'

Subversion_WC_LOG retrieves the log message of the base revision of a subversion working copy at a given location. This macro defines the variable:

    <var-prefix>_LAST_CHANGED_LOG - last log of base revision

Example usage:

    find_package(Subversion)
    if(SUBVERSION_FOUND)
      Subversion_WC_INFO(${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR} Project)
      message("Current revision is ${Project_WC_REVISION}")
      Subversion_WC_LOG(${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR} Project)
      message("Last changed log is ${Project_LAST_CHANGED_LOG}")
    endif()

  FindSWIG

Find the Simplified Wrapper and Interface Generator (SWIG) executable.

This module finds an installed SWIG and determines its version.

Added in version 3.18: If a COMPONENTS or OPTIONAL_COMPONENTS argument is given to the find_package() command, it will also determine supported target languages.

Added in version 3.19: When a version is requested, it can be specified as a simple value or as a range. For a detailed description of version range usage and capabilities, refer to the find_package() command.

The module defines the following variables:

SWIG_FOUND
    Whether SWIG and any required components were found on the system.

SWIG_EXECUTABLE
    Path to the SWIG executable.

SWIG_DIR
    Path to the installed SWIG Lib directory (result of swig -swiglib).

SWIG_VERSION
    SWIG executable version (result of swig -version).

SWIG_<lang>_FOUND
    If COMPONENTS or OPTIONAL_COMPONENTS are requested, each available target language <lang> (lowercase) will be set to TRUE.

    Any COMPONENTS given to find_package should be the names of supported target languages as provided to the LANGUAGE argument of swig_add_library, such as python or perl5. Language names must be lowercase.

    All information is collected from the SWIG_EXECUTABLE, so the version to be found can be changed from the command line by means of setting SWIG_EXECUTABLE.

    Example usage requiring SWIG 4.0 or higher and Python language support, with optional Fortran support:

        find_package(SWIG 4.0 COMPONENTS python OPTIONAL_COMPONENTS fortran)
        if(SWIG_FOUND)
          message("SWIG found: ${SWIG_EXECUTABLE}")
          if(NOT SWIG_fortran_FOUND)
            message(WARNING "SWIG Fortran bindings cannot be generated")
          endif()
        endif()

  FindTCL

TK_INTERNAL_PATH was removed.

This module finds if Tcl is installed and determines where the include files and libraries are. It also determines what the name of the library is. This code sets the following variables:

    TCL_FOUND              = Tcl was found
    TK_FOUND               = Tk was found
    TCLTK_FOUND            = Tcl and Tk were found
    TCL_LIBRARY            = path to Tcl library (tcl tcl80)
    TCL_INCLUDE_PATH       = path to where tcl.h can be found
    TCL_TCLSH              = path to tclsh binary (tcl tcl80)
    TK_LIBRARY             = path to Tk library (tk tk80 etc)
    TK_INCLUDE_PATH        = path to where tk.h can be found
    TK_WISH                = full path to the wish executable

In an effort to remove some clutter and clear up some issues for people who are not necessarily Tcl/Tk gurus/developers, some variables were moved or removed. Changes compared to CMake 2.4 are:

    => they were only useful for people writing Tcl/Tk extensions.
    => these libs are not packaged by default with Tcl/Tk distributions.
       Even when Tcl/Tk is built from source, several flavors of debug libs
       are created and there is no real reason to pick a single one
       specifically (say, amongst tcl84g, tcl84gs, or tcl84sgx).
       Let's leave that choice to the user by allowing him to assign
       TCL_LIBRARY to any Tcl library, debug or not.
    => this ended up being only a Win32 variable, and there is a lot of
       confusion regarding the location of this file in an installed Tcl/Tk
       tree anyway (see 8.5 for example). If you need the internal path at
       this point it is safer you ask directly where the *source* tree is
       and dig from there.

  FindTclsh

Find tclsh

This module finds if TCL is installed and determines where the include files and libraries are. It also determines what the name of the library is. This code sets the following variables:

    TCLSH_FOUND = TRUE if tclsh has been found
    TCL_TCLSH = the path to the tclsh executable

  FindTclStub

TCL_STUB_LIBRARY_DEBUG and TK_STUB_LIBRARY_DEBUG were removed.

This module finds Tcl stub libraries. It first finds Tcl include files and libraries by calling FindTCL.cmake. How to Use the Tcl Stubs Library:

    http://tcl.activestate.com/doc/howto/stubs.html

Using Stub Libraries:

    http://safari.oreilly.com/0130385603/ch48lev1sec3

This code sets the following variables:

    TCL_STUB_LIBRARY       = path to Tcl stub library
    TK_STUB_LIBRARY        = path to Tk stub library
    TTK_STUB_LIBRARY       = path to ttk stub library

In an effort to remove some clutter and clear up some issues for people who are not necessarily Tcl/Tk gurus/developers, some variables were moved or removed. Changes compared to CMake 2.4 are:

    => these libs are not packaged by default with Tcl/Tk distributions.
       Even when Tcl/Tk is built from source, several flavors of debug libs
       are created and there is no real reason to pick a single one
       specifically (say, amongst tclstub84g, tclstub84gs, or tclstub84sgx).
       Let's leave that choice to the user by allowing him to assign
       TCL_STUB_LIBRARY to any Tcl library, debug or not.

  FindThreads

This module determines the thread library of the system.

  Imported Targets

Added in version 3.1.

This module defines the following IMPORTED target:

Threads::Threads
    The thread library, if found.

  Result Variables

The following variables are set:

Threads_FOUND
    If a supported thread library was found.

CMAKE_THREAD_LIBS_INIT
    The thread library to use. This may be empty if the thread functions are provided by the system libraries and no special flags are needed to use them.

CMAKE_USE_WIN32_THREADS_INIT

  FindWish

Find wish installation

This module finds if TCL is installed and determines where the include files and libraries are. It also determines what the name of the library is. This code sets the following variables:

    TK_WISH = the path to the wish executable

if UNIX is defined, then it will look for the cygwin version first

  FindwxWidgets

Find a wxWidgets (a.k.a., wxWindows) installation.

This module finds if wxWidgets is installed and selects a default configuration to use. wxWidgets is a modular library. To specify the modules that you will use, you need to name them as components to the package:

find_package(wxWidgets COMPONENTS core base ... OPTIONAL_COMPONENTS net ...)

Added in version 3.4: Support for find_package() version argument; webview component.

Added in version 3.14: OPTIONAL_COMPONENTS support.

There are two search branches: a windows style and a unix style. For windows, the following variables are searched for and set to defaults in case of multiple choices. Change them if the defaults are not desired (i.e., these are the only variables you should change to select a configuration):

    wxWidgets_ROOT_DIR      - Base wxWidgets directory
                              (e.g., C:/wxWidgets-3.2.0).
    wxWidgets_LIB_DIR       - Path to wxWidgets libraries
                              (e.g., C:/wxWidgets-3.2.0/lib/vc_x64_lib).
    wxWidgets_CONFIGURATION - Configuration to use
                              (e.g., msw, mswd, mswu, mswunivud, etc.)
    wxWidgets_EXCLUDE_COMMON_LIBRARIES
                            - Set to TRUE to exclude linking of
                              commonly required libs (e.g., png tiff
                              jpeg zlib regex expat scintilla lexilla).

For unix style it uses the wx-config utility. You can select between debug/release, unicode/ansi, universal/non-universal, and static/shared in the QtDialog or ccmake interfaces by turning ON/OFF the following variables:

    wxWidgets_USE_DEBUG
    wxWidgets_USE_UNICODE
    wxWidgets_USE_UNIVERSAL
    wxWidgets_USE_STATIC

There is also a wxWidgets_CONFIG_OPTIONS variable for all other options that need to be passed to the wx-config utility. For example, to use the base toolkit found in the /usr/local path, set the variable (before calling the FIND_PACKAGE command) as such:

    set(wxWidgets_CONFIG_OPTIONS --toolkit=base --prefix=/usr)

The following are set after the configuration is done for both windows and unix style:

    wxWidgets_FOUND            - Set to TRUE if wxWidgets was found.
    wxWidgets_INCLUDE_DIRS     - Include directories for WIN32
                                 i.e., where to find "wx/wx.h" and
                                 "wx/setup.h"; possibly empty for unices.
    wxWidgets_LIBRARIES        - Path to the wxWidgets libraries.
    wxWidgets_LIBRARY_DIRS     - compile time link dirs, useful for
                                 rpath on UNIX. Typically an empty string
                                 in WIN32 environment.
    wxWidgets_DEFINITIONS      - Contains defines required to compile/link
                                 against WX, e.g. WXUSINGDLL
    wxWidgets_DEFINITIONS_DEBUG- Contains defines required to compile/link
                                 against WX debug builds, e.g. __WXDEBUG__
    wxWidgets_CXX_FLAGS        - Include dirs and compiler flags for
                                 unices, empty on WIN32. Essentially
                                 "`wx-config --cxxflags`".
    wxWidgets_USE_FILE         - Convenience include file.

Added in version 3.11: The following environment variables can be used as hints: WX_CONFIG, WXRC_CMD.

Sample usage:

    # Note that for MinGW users the order of libs is important!
    find_package(wxWidgets COMPONENTS gl core base OPTIONAL_COMPONENTS net)
    if(wxWidgets_FOUND)
      include(${wxWidgets_USE_FILE})
      # and for each of your dependent executable/library targets:
      target_link_libraries(<YourTarget> ${wxWidgets_LIBRARIES})
    endif()

If wxWidgets is required (i.e., not an optional part):

    find_package(wxWidgets REQUIRED gl core base OPTIONAL_COMPONENTS net)
    include(${wxWidgets_USE_FILE})
    # and for each of your dependent executable/library targets:
    target_link_libraries(<YourTarget> ${wxWidgets_LIBRARIES})

  Imported Targets

DEPRECATED MODULES

  Deprecated Utility Modules

  AddFileDependencies

Deprecated since version 3.20.

Add dependencies to a source file.

    add_file_dependencies(<source> <files>...)

Adds the given <files> to the dependencies of file <source>.

Do not use this command in new code. It is just a wrapper around:

    set_property(SOURCE <source> APPEND PROPERTY OBJECT_DEPENDS <files>...)

Instead use the set_property() command to append to the OBJECT_DEPENDS source file property directly.

  CMakeDetermineVSServicePack

Deprecated since version 3.0: Do not use.

The functionality of this module has been superseded by the CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_VERSION variable that contains the compiler version number.

Determine the Visual Studio service pack of the 'cl' in use.

Usage:

    if(MSVC)
      include(CMakeDetermineVSServicePack)
      DetermineVSServicePack(my_service_pack)
      if(my_service_pack)
        message(STATUS "Detected: ${my_service_pack}")
      endif()
    endif()

Function DetermineVSServicePack sets the given variable to one of the following values or an empty string if unknown:

    vc80, vc80sp1
    vc90, vc90sp1
    vc100, vc100sp1
    vc110, vc110sp1, vc110sp2, vc110sp3, vc110sp4

  CMakeExpandImportedTargets

Deprecated since version 3.4: Do not use.

This module was once needed to expand imported targets to the underlying libraries they reference on disk for use with the try_compile() and try_run() commands. These commands now support imported libraries in their LINK_LIBRARIES options (since CMake 2.8.11 for try_compile() and since CMake 3.2 for try_run()).

This module does not support the policy CMP0022 NEW behavior or use of the INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES property because generator expressions cannot be evaluated during configuration.

    CMAKE_EXPAND_IMPORTED_TARGETS(<var> LIBRARIES lib1 lib2...libN
                                  [CONFIGURATION <config>])

CMAKE_EXPAND_IMPORTED_TARGETS() takes a list of libraries and replaces all imported targets contained in this list with their actual file paths of the referenced libraries on disk, including the libraries from their link interfaces. If a CONFIGURATION is given, it uses the respective configuration of the imported targets if it exists. If no CONFIGURATION is given, it uses the first configuration from ${CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES} if set, otherwise ${CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE}.

    cmake_expand_imported_targets(expandedLibs
      LIBRARIES ${CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES}
      CONFIGURATION "${CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_CONFIGURATION}" )

  CMakeFindFrameworks

Deprecated since version 3.31: This module does nothing, unless policy CMP0173 is set to OLD.

helper module to find OSX frameworks

This module reads hints about search locations from variables:

    CMAKE_FIND_FRAMEWORK_EXTRA_LOCATIONS - Extra directories

  CMakeForceCompiler

Deprecated since version 3.6: Do not use.

The macros provided by this module were once intended for use by cross-compiling toolchain files when CMake was not able to automatically detect the compiler identification. Since the introduction of this module, CMake's compiler identification capabilities have improved and can now be taught to recognize any compiler. Furthermore, the suite of information CMake detects from a compiler is now too extensive to be provided by toolchain files using these macros.

One common use case for this module was to skip CMake's checks for a working compiler when using a cross-compiler that cannot link binaries without special flags or custom linker scripts. This case is now supported by setting the CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_TARGET_TYPE variable in the toolchain file instead.

----

Macro CMAKE_FORCE_C_COMPILER has the following signature:

    CMAKE_FORCE_C_COMPILER(<compiler> <compiler-id>)

It sets CMAKE_C_COMPILER to the given compiler and the cmake internal variable CMAKE_C_COMPILER_ID to the given compiler-id. It also bypasses the check for working compiler and basic compiler information tests.

Macro CMAKE_FORCE_CXX_COMPILER has the following signature:

    CMAKE_FORCE_CXX_COMPILER(<compiler> <compiler-id>)

It sets CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER to the given compiler and the cmake internal variable CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_ID to the given compiler-id. It also bypasses the check for working compiler and basic compiler information tests.

Macro CMAKE_FORCE_Fortran_COMPILER has the following signature:

    CMAKE_FORCE_Fortran_COMPILER(<compiler> <compiler-id>)

It sets CMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER to the given compiler and the cmake internal variable CMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER_ID to the given compiler-id. It also bypasses the check for working compiler and basic compiler information tests.

So a simple toolchain file could look like this:

    include (CMakeForceCompiler)
    set(CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME Generic)
    CMAKE_FORCE_C_COMPILER   (chc12 MetrowerksHicross)
    CMAKE_FORCE_CXX_COMPILER (chc12 MetrowerksHicross)

  CMakeParseArguments

Deprecated since version 3.5.

This module once implemented the cmake_parse_arguments() command that is now implemented natively by CMake. It is now an empty placeholder for compatibility with projects that include it to get the command from CMake 3.4 and lower.

  Dart

Deprecated since version 3.27: This module is available only if policy CMP0145 is not set to NEW. Do not use it in new code. Use the CTest module instead.

Configure a project for testing with CTest or old Dart Tcl Client

This file is the backwards-compatibility version of the CTest module. It supports using the old Dart 1 Tcl client for driving dashboard submissions as well as testing with CTest. This module should be included in the CMakeLists.txt file at the top of a project. Typical usage:

    include(Dart)
    if(BUILD_TESTING)
      # ... testing related CMake code ...
    endif()

The BUILD_TESTING option is created by the Dart module to determine whether testing support should be enabled. The default is ON.

  Documentation

Deprecated since version 3.18: This module does nothing, unless policy CMP0106 is set to OLD.

This module provides support for the VTK documentation framework. It relies on several tools (Doxygen, Perl, etc).

  GetPrerequisites

Deprecated since version 3.16: Use file(GET_RUNTIME_DEPENDENCIES) instead.

Functions to analyze and list executable file prerequisites.

This module provides functions to list the .dll, .dylib or .so files that an executable or shared library file depends on. (Its prerequisites.)

It uses various tools to obtain the list of required shared library files:

    dumpbin (Windows)
    objdump (MinGW on Windows)
    ldd (Linux/Unix)
    otool (Mac OSX)

Changed in version 3.16: The tool specified by the CMAKE_OBJDUMP variable will be used, if set.

The following functions are provided by this module:

    get_prerequisites
    list_prerequisites
    list_prerequisites_by_glob
    gp_append_unique
    is_file_executable
    gp_item_default_embedded_path
      (projects can override with gp_item_default_embedded_path_override)
    gp_resolve_item
      (projects can override with gp_resolve_item_override)
    gp_resolved_file_type
      (projects can override with gp_resolved_file_type_override)
    gp_file_type

    GET_PREREQUISITES(<target> <prerequisites_var> <exclude_system> <recurse>
                      <exepath> <dirs> [<rpaths>])

Get the list of shared library files required by <target>. The list in the variable named <prerequisites_var> should be empty on first entry to this function. On exit, <prerequisites_var> will contain the list of required shared library files.

<target> is the full path to an executable file. <prerequisites_var> is the name of a CMake variable to contain the results. <exclude_system> must be 0 or 1 indicating whether to include or exclude "system" prerequisites. If <recurse> is set to 1 all prerequisites will be found recursively, if set to 0 only direct prerequisites are listed. <exepath> is the path to the top level executable used for @executable_path replacement on the Mac. <dirs> is a list of paths where libraries might be found: these paths are searched first when a target without any path info is given. Then standard system locations are also searched: PATH, Framework locations, /usr/lib...

Added in version 3.14: The variable GET_PREREQUISITES_VERBOSE can be set to true to enable verbose output.

    LIST_PREREQUISITES(<target> [<recurse> [<exclude_system> [<verbose>]]])

Print a message listing the prerequisites of <target>.

<target> is the name of a shared library or executable target or the full path to a shared library or executable file. If <recurse> is set to 1 all prerequisites will be found recursively, if set to 0 only direct prerequisites are listed. <exclude_system> must be 0 or 1 indicating whether to include or exclude "system" prerequisites. With <verbose> set to 0 only the full path names of the prerequisites are printed, set to 1 extra information will be displayed.

    LIST_PREREQUISITES_BY_GLOB(<glob_arg> <glob_exp>)

Print the prerequisites of shared library and executable files matching a globbing pattern. <glob_arg> is GLOB or GLOB_RECURSE and <glob_exp> is a globbing expression used with "file(GLOB" or "file(GLOB_RECURSE" to retrieve a list of matching files. If a matching file is executable, its prerequisites are listed.

Any additional (optional) arguments provided are passed along as the optional arguments to the list_prerequisites calls.

  MacroAddFileDependencies

Deprecated since version 3.14.

    MACRO_ADD_FILE_DEPENDENCIES(<source> <files>...)

Do not use this command in new code. It is just a wrapper around:

    set_property(SOURCE <source> APPEND PROPERTY OBJECT_DEPENDS <files>...)

Instead use the set_property() command to append to the OBJECT_DEPENDS source file property directly.

  SquishTestScript

Deprecated since version 3.0.

This script launches a GUI test using Squish. You should not call the script directly; instead, you should access it via the SQUISH_ADD_TEST macro that is defined in FindSquish.cmake.

This script starts the Squish server, launches the test on the client, and finally stops the squish server. If any of these steps fail (including if the tests do not pass) then a fatal error is raised.

  TestBigEndian

Deprecated since version 3.20: Supserseded by the CMAKE_<LANG>_BYTE_ORDER variable.

Check if the target architecture is big endian or little endian.

test_big_endian

        test_big_endian(<var>)

    Stores in variable <var> either 1 or 0 indicating whether the target architecture is big or little endian.

  TestCXXAcceptsFlag

Deprecated since version 3.0: See CheckCXXCompilerFlag.

Check if the CXX compiler accepts a flag.

    CHECK_CXX_ACCEPTS_FLAG(<flags> <variable>)

<flags>
    the flags to try

<variable>
    variable to store the result

  Use_wxWindows

Deprecated since version 2.8.10: Use find_package(wxWidgets) and include(${wxWidgets_USE_FILE}) instead.

This convenience include finds if wxWindows is installed and set the appropriate libs, incdirs, flags etc. author Jan Woetzel <jw -at- mip.informatik.uni-kiel.de> (07/2003)

USAGE:

    just include Use_wxWindows.cmake
    in your projects CMakeLists.txt

include( ${CMAKE_MODULE_PATH}/Use_wxWindows.cmake)

    if you are sure you need GL then

set(WXWINDOWS_USE_GL 1)

    *before* you include this file.

  UseJavaClassFilelist

Changed in version 3.20: This module was previously documented by mistake and was never meant for direct inclusion by project code. See the UseJava module.

  UseJavaSymlinks

Changed in version 3.20: This module was previously documented by mistake and was never meant for direct inclusion by project code. See the UseJava module.

  UsePkgConfig

Deprecated since version 3.0: Use FindPkgConfig instead.

This module defines the following macro:

PKGCONFIG(package includedir libdir linkflags cflags)

Calling PKGCONFIG will fill the desired information into the 4 given arguments, e.g. PKGCONFIG(libart-2.0 LIBART_INCLUDE_DIR LIBART_LINK_DIR LIBART_LINK_FLAGS LIBART_CFLAGS) if pkg-config was NOT found or the specified software package doesn't exist, the variable will be empty when the function returns, otherwise they will contain the respective information

  WriteBasicConfigVersionFile

Deprecated since version 3.0: Use the identical command write_basic_package_version_file() from module CMakePackageConfigHelpers.

    WRITE_BASIC_CONFIG_VERSION_FILE(filename
      [VERSION major.minor.patch]
      COMPATIBILITY (AnyNewerVersion|SameMajorVersion|SameMinorVersion|ExactVersion)
      [ARCH_INDEPENDENT]
      )

  WriteCompilerDetectionHeader

Deprecated since version 3.20: This module is available only if policy CMP0120 is not set to NEW. Do not use it in new code.

Added in version 3.1.

This module provides the function write_compiler_detection_header().

This function can be used to generate a file suitable for preprocessor inclusion which contains macros to be used in source code:

    write_compiler_detection_header(
              FILE <file>
              PREFIX <prefix>
              [OUTPUT_FILES_VAR <output_files_var> OUTPUT_DIR <output_dir>]
              COMPILERS <compiler> [...]
              FEATURES <feature> [...]
              [BARE_FEATURES <feature> [...]]
              [VERSION <version>]
              [PROLOG <prolog>]
              [EPILOG <epilog>]
              [ALLOW_UNKNOWN_COMPILERS]
              [ALLOW_UNKNOWN_COMPILER_VERSIONS]
    )

This generates the file <file> with macros which all have the prefix <prefix>.

By default, all content is written directly to the <file>. The OUTPUT_FILES_VAR may be specified to cause the compiler-specific content to be written to separate files. The separate files are then available in the <output_files_var> and may be consumed by the caller for installation for example. The OUTPUT_DIR specifies a relative path from the main <file> to the compiler-specific files. For example:

    write_compiler_detection_header(
      FILE climbingstats_compiler_detection.h
      PREFIX ClimbingStats
      OUTPUT_FILES_VAR support_files
      OUTPUT_DIR compilers
      COMPILERS GNU Clang MSVC Intel
      FEATURES cxx_variadic_templates
    )
    install(FILES
      ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/climbingstats_compiler_detection.h
      DESTINATION include
    )
    install(FILES
      ${support_files}
      DESTINATION include/compilers
    )

VERSION may be used to specify the API version to be generated. Future versions of CMake may introduce alternative APIs. A given API is selected by any <version> value greater than or equal to the version of CMake that introduced the given API and less than the version of CMake that introduced its succeeding API. The value of the CMAKE_MINIMUM_REQUIRED_VERSION variable is used if no explicit version is specified. (As of CMake version 4.0.2-dirty there is only one API version.)

PROLOG may be specified as text content to write at the start of the header. EPILOG may be specified as text content to write at the end of the header

At least one <compiler> and one <feature> must be listed. Compilers which are known to CMake, but not specified are detected and a preprocessor #error is generated for them. A preprocessor macro matching <PREFIX>_COMPILER_IS_<compiler> is generated for each compiler known to CMake to contain the value 0 or 1.

Possible compiler identifiers are documented with the CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_ID variable. Available features in this version of CMake are listed in the CMAKE_C_KNOWN_FEATURES and CMAKE_CXX_KNOWN_FEATURES global properties. See the cmake-compile-features(7) manual for information on compile features.

Added in version 3.2: Added MSVC and AppleClang compiler support.

Added in version 3.6: Added Intel compiler support.

Changed in version 3.8: The {c,cxx}_std_* meta-features are ignored if requested.

Added in version 3.8: ALLOW_UNKNOWN_COMPILERS and ALLOW_UNKNOWN_COMPILER_VERSIONS cause the module to generate conditions that treat unknown compilers as simply lacking all features. Without these options the default behavior is to generate a #error for unknown compilers and versions.

Added in version 3.12: BARE_FEATURES will define the compatibility macros with the name used in newer versions of the language standard, so the code can use the new feature name unconditionally.

  Feature Test Macros

For each compiler, a preprocessor macro is generated matching <PREFIX>_COMPILER_IS_<compiler> which has the content either 0 or 1, depending on the compiler in use. Preprocessor macros for compiler version components are generated matching <PREFIX>_COMPILER_VERSION_MAJOR <PREFIX>_COMPILER_VERSION_MINOR and <PREFIX>_COMPILER_VERSION_PATCH containing decimal values for the corresponding compiler version components, if defined.

A preprocessor test is generated based on the compiler version denoting whether each feature is enabled. A preprocessor macro matching <PREFIX>_COMPILER_<FEATURE>, where <FEATURE> is the upper-case <feature> name, is generated to contain the value 0 or 1 depending on whether the compiler in use supports the feature:

    write_compiler_detection_header(
      FILE climbingstats_compiler_detection.h
      PREFIX ClimbingStats
      COMPILERS GNU Clang AppleClang MSVC Intel
      FEATURES cxx_variadic_templates
    )

    #if ClimbingStats_COMPILER_CXX_VARIADIC_TEMPLATES
    template<typename... T>
    void someInterface(T t...) { /* ... */ }
    #else
    // Compatibility versions
    template<typename T1>
    void someInterface(T1 t1) { /* ... */ }
    template<typename T1, typename T2>
    void someInterface(T1 t1, T2 t2) { /* ... */ }
    template<typename T1, typename T2, typename T3>
    void someInterface(T1 t1, T2 t2, T3 t3) { /* ... */ }
    #endif

  Symbol Macros

Some additional symbol-defines are created for particular features for use as symbols which may be conditionally defined empty:

    class MyClass ClimbingStats_FINAL
    {
        ClimbingStats_CONSTEXPR int someInterface() { return 42; }
    };

The ClimbingStats_FINAL macro will expand to final if the compiler (and its flags) support the cxx_final feature, and the ClimbingStats_CONSTEXPR macro will expand to constexpr if cxx_constexpr is supported.

If BARE_FEATURES cxx_final was given as argument the final keyword will be defined for old compilers, too.

The following features generate corresponding symbol defines and if they are available as BARE_FEATURES:
Feature | Define | Symbol | bare
c_restrict | <PREFIX>_RESTRICT | restrict | yes
cxx_constexpr | <PREFIX>_CONSTEXPR | constexpr | yes
cxx_deleted_functions | <PREFIX>_DELETED_FUNCTION | = delete |
cxx_extern_templates | <PREFIX>_EXTERN_TEMPLATE | extern |
cxx_final | <PREFIX>_FINAL | final | yes
cxx_noexcept | <PREFIX>_NOEXCEPT | noexcept | yes
cxx_noexcept | <PREFIX>_NOEXCEPT_EXPR(X) | noexcept(X) |
cxx_override | <PREFIX>_OVERRIDE | override | yes

  Compatibility Implementation Macros

Some features are suitable for wrapping in a macro with a backward compatibility implementation if the compiler does not support the feature.

When the cxx_static_assert feature is not provided by the compiler, a compatibility implementation is available via the <PREFIX>_STATIC_ASSERT(COND) and <PREFIX>_STATIC_ASSERT_MSG(COND, MSG) function-like macros. The macros expand to static_assert where that compiler feature is available, and to a compatibility implementation otherwise. In the first form, the condition is stringified in the message field of static_assert. In the second form, the message MSG is passed to the message field of static_assert, or ignored if using the backward compatibility implementation.

The cxx_attribute_deprecated feature provides a macro definition <PREFIX>_DEPRECATED, which expands to either the standard [[deprecated]] attribute or a compiler-specific decorator such as __attribute__((__deprecated__)) used by GNU compilers.

The cxx_alignas feature provides a macro definition <PREFIX>_ALIGNAS which expands to either the standard alignas decorator or a compiler-specific decorator such as __attribute__ ((__aligned__)) used by GNU compilers.

The cxx_alignof feature provides a macro definition <PREFIX>_ALIGNOF which expands to either the standard alignof decorator or a compiler-specific decorator such as __alignof__ used by GNU compilers.
Feature | Define | Symbol | bare
cxx_alignas | <PREFIX>_ALIGNAS | alignas |
cxx_alignof | <PREFIX>_ALIGNOF | alignof |
cxx_nullptr | <PREFIX>_NULLPTR | nullptr | yes
cxx_static_assert | <PREFIX>_STATIC_ASSERT | static_assert |
cxx_static_assert | <PREFIX>_STATIC_ASSERT_MSG | static_assert |
cxx_attribute_deprecated | <PREFIX>_DEPRECATED | [[deprecated]] |
cxx_attribute_deprecated | <PREFIX>_DEPRECATED_MSG | [[deprecated]] |
cxx_thread_local | <PREFIX>_THREAD_LOCAL | thread_local |

A use-case which arises with such deprecation macros is the deprecation of an entire library. In that case, all public API in the library may be decorated with the <PREFIX>_DEPRECATED macro. This results in very noisy build output when building the library itself, so the macro may be may be defined to empty in that case when building the deprecated library:

    add_library(compat_support ${srcs})
    target_compile_definitions(compat_support
      PRIVATE
        CompatSupport_DEPRECATED=
    )

  Example Usage

NOTE: This section was migrated from the cmake-compile-features(7) manual since it relies on the WriteCompilerDetectionHeader module which is removed by policy CMP0120.

Compile features may be preferred if available, without creating a hard requirement. For example, a library may provide alternative implementations depending on whether the cxx_variadic_templates feature is available:

    #if Foo_COMPILER_CXX_VARIADIC_TEMPLATES
    template<int I, int... Is>
    struct Interface;
    template<int I>
    struct Interface<I>
    {
      static int accumulate()
      {
        return I;
      }
    };
    template<int I, int... Is>
    struct Interface
    {
      static int accumulate()
      {
        return I + Interface<Is...>::accumulate();
      }
    };
    #else
    template<int I1, int I2 = 0, int I3 = 0, int I4 = 0>
    struct Interface
    {
      static int accumulate() { return I1 + I2 + I3 + I4; }
    };
    #endif

Such an interface depends on using the correct preprocessor defines for the compiler features. CMake can generate a header file containing such defines using the WriteCompilerDetectionHeader module. The module contains the write_compiler_detection_header function which accepts parameters to control the content of the generated header file:

    write_compiler_detection_header(
      FILE "${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/foo_compiler_detection.h"
      PREFIX Foo
      COMPILERS GNU
      FEATURES
        cxx_variadic_templates
    )

Such a header file may be used internally in the source code of a project, and it may be installed and used in the interface of library code.

For each feature listed in FEATURES, a preprocessor definition is created in the header file, and defined to either 1 or 0.

Additionally, some features call for additional defines, such as the cxx_final and cxx_override features. Rather than being used in #ifdef code, the final keyword is abstracted by a symbol which is defined to either final, a compiler-specific equivalent, or to empty. That way, C++ code can be written to unconditionally use the symbol, and compiler support determines what it is expanded to:

    struct Interface {
      virtual void Execute() = 0;
    };
    struct Concrete Foo_FINAL {
      void Execute() Foo_OVERRIDE;
    };

In this case, Foo_FINAL will expand to final if the compiler supports the keyword, or to empty otherwise.

In this use-case, the project code may wish to enable a particular language standard if available from the compiler. The CXX_STANDARD target property may be set to the desired language standard for a particular target, and the CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD variable may be set to influence all following targets:

    write_compiler_detection_header(
      FILE "${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/foo_compiler_detection.h"
      PREFIX Foo
      COMPILERS GNU
      FEATURES
        cxx_final cxx_override
    )
    # Includes foo_compiler_detection.h and uses the Foo_FINAL symbol
    # which will expand to 'final' if the compiler supports the requested
    # CXX_STANDARD.
    add_library(foo foo.cpp)
    set_property(TARGET foo PROPERTY CXX_STANDARD 11)
    # Includes foo_compiler_detection.h and uses the Foo_FINAL symbol
    # which will expand to 'final' if the compiler supports the feature,
    # even though CXX_STANDARD is not set explicitly.  The requirement of
    # cxx_constexpr causes CMake to set CXX_STANDARD internally, which
    # affects the compile flags.
    add_library(foo_impl foo_impl.cpp)
    target_compile_features(foo_impl PRIVATE cxx_constexpr)

The write_compiler_detection_header function also creates compatibility code for other features which have standard equivalents. For example, the cxx_static_assert feature is emulated with a template and abstracted via the <PREFIX>_STATIC_ASSERT and <PREFIX>_STATIC_ASSERT_MSG function-macros.

  Deprecated Find Modules

  FindBoost

Changed in version 3.30: This module is available only if policy CMP0167 is not set to NEW. Port projects to upstream Boost's BoostConfig.cmake package configuration file, for which find_package(Boost) now searches.

Find Boost include dirs and libraries

Use this module by invoking find_package() with the form:

    find_package(Boost
      [version] [EXACT]      # Minimum or EXACT version e.g. 1.67.0
      [REQUIRED]             # Fail with error if Boost is not found
      [COMPONENTS <libs>...] # Boost libraries by their canonical name
                             # e.g. "date_time" for "libboost_date_time"
      [OPTIONAL_COMPONENTS <libs>...]
                             # Optional Boost libraries by their canonical name)
      )                      # e.g. "date_time" for "libboost_date_time"

This module finds headers and requested component libraries OR a CMake package configuration file provided by a "Boost CMake" build. For the latter case skip to the Boost CMake section below.

Added in version 3.7: bzip2 and zlib components (Windows only).

Added in version 3.11: The OPTIONAL_COMPONENTS option.

Added in version 3.13: stacktrace_* components.

Added in version 3.19: bzip2 and zlib components on all platforms.

  Result Variables

This module defines the following variables:

Boost_FOUND
    True if headers and requested libraries were found.

Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS
    Boost include directories.

Boost_LIBRARY_DIRS
    Link directories for Boost libraries.

Boost_LIBRARIES
    Boost component libraries to be linked.

Boost_<COMPONENT>_FOUND
    True if component <COMPONENT> was found (<COMPONENT> name is upper-case).

Boost_<COMPONENT>_LIBRARY
    Libraries to link for component <COMPONENT> (may include target_link_libraries() debug/optimized keywords).

Boost_VERSION_MACRO
    BOOST_VERSION value from boost/version.hpp.

Boost_VERSION_STRING
    Boost version number in X.Y.Z format.

Boost_VERSION
    Boost version number in X.Y.Z format (same as Boost_VERSION_STRING).

    Changed in version 3.15: In previous CMake versions, this variable used the raw version string from the Boost header (same as Boost_VERSION_MACRO). See policy CMP0093.

Boost_LIB_VERSION
    Version string appended to library filenames.

Boost_VERSION_MAJOR, Boost_MAJOR_VERSION
    Boost major version number (X in X.Y.Z).

Boost_VERSION_MINOR, Boost_MINOR_VERSION
    Boost minor version number (Y in X.Y.Z).

Boost_VERSION_PATCH, Boost_SUBMINOR_VERSION
    Boost subminor version number (Z in X.Y.Z).

Boost_VERSION_COUNT
    Amount of version components (3).

Boost_LIB_DIAGNOSTIC_DEFINITIONS (Windows-specific)
    Pass to add_definitions() to have diagnostic information about Boost's automatic linking displayed during compilation

    Added in version 3.15: The Boost_VERSION_<PART> variables.

  Cache variables

Search results are saved persistently in CMake cache entries:

Boost_INCLUDE_DIR
    Directory containing Boost headers.

Boost_LIBRARY_DIR_RELEASE
    Directory containing release Boost libraries.

Boost_LIBRARY_DIR_DEBUG
    Directory containing debug Boost libraries.

Boost_<COMPONENT>_LIBRARY_DEBUG
    Component <COMPONENT> library debug variant.

Boost_<COMPONENT>_LIBRARY_RELEASE
    Component <COMPONENT> library release variant.

    Added in version 3.3: Per-configuration variables Boost_LIBRARY_DIR_RELEASE and Boost_LIBRARY_DIR_DEBUG.

  Hints

This module reads hints about search locations from variables:

BOOST_ROOT, BOOSTROOT
    Preferred installation prefix.

BOOST_INCLUDEDIR
    Preferred include directory e.g. <prefix>/include.

BOOST_LIBRARYDIR
    Preferred library directory e.g. <prefix>/lib.

Boost_NO_SYSTEM_PATHS
    Set to ON to disable searching in locations not specified by these hint variables. Default is OFF.

Boost_ADDITIONAL_VERSIONS
    List of Boost versions not known to this module. (Boost install locations may contain the version).

    Users may set these hints or results as CACHE entries. Projects should not read these entries directly but instead use the above result variables. Note that some hint names start in upper-case BOOST. One may specify these as environment variables if they are not specified as CMake variables or cache entries.

    This module first searches for the Boost header files using the above hint variables (excluding BOOST_LIBRARYDIR) and saves the result in Boost_INCLUDE_DIR. Then it searches for requested component libraries using the above hints (excluding BOOST_INCLUDEDIR and Boost_ADDITIONAL_VERSIONS), "lib" directories near Boost_INCLUDE_DIR, and the library name configuration settings below. It saves the library directories in Boost_LIBRARY_DIR_DEBUG and Boost_LIBRARY_DIR_RELEASE and individual library locations in Boost_<COMPONENT>_LIBRARY_DEBUG and Boost_<COMPONENT>_LIBRARY_RELEASE. When one changes settings used by previous searches in the same build tree (excluding environment variables) this module discards previous search results affected by the changes and searches again.

  Imported Targets

Added in version 3.5.

This module defines the following IMPORTED targets:

Boost::boost
    Target for header-only dependencies. (Boost include directory).

Boost::headers
    Added in version 3.15: Alias for Boost::boost.

Boost::<component>
    Target for specific component dependency (shared or static library); <component> name is lower-case.

Boost::diagnostic_definitions
    Interface target to enable diagnostic information about Boost's automatic linking during compilation (adds -DBOOST_LIB_DIAGNOSTIC).

Boost::disable_autolinking
    Interface target to disable automatic linking with MSVC (adds -DBOOST_ALL_NO_LIB).

Boost::dynamic_linking
    Interface target to enable dynamic linking with MSVC (adds -DBOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK).

    Implicit dependencies such as Boost::filesystem requiring Boost::system will be automatically detected and satisfied, even if system is not specified when using find_package() and if Boost::system is not added to target_link_libraries(). If using Boost::thread, then Threads::Threads will also be added automatically.

    It is important to note that the imported targets behave differently than variables created by this module: multiple calls to find_package(Boost) in the same directory or sub-directories with different options (e.g. static or shared) will not override the values of the targets created by the first call.

  Other Variables

Boost libraries come in many variants encoded in their file name. Users or projects may tell this module which variant to find by setting variables:

Boost_USE_DEBUG_LIBS
    Added in version 3.10.

    Set to ON or OFF to specify whether to search and use the debug libraries. Default is ON.

Boost_USE_RELEASE_LIBS
    Added in version 3.10.

    Set to ON or OFF to specify whether to search and use the release libraries. Default is ON.

Boost_USE_MULTITHREADED
    Set to OFF to use the non-multithreaded libraries ("mt" tag). Default is ON.

Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS
    Set to ON to force the use of the static libraries. Default is OFF.

Boost_USE_STATIC_RUNTIME
    Set to ON or OFF to specify whether to use libraries linked statically to the C++ runtime ("s" tag). Default is platform dependent.

Boost_USE_DEBUG_RUNTIME
    Set to ON or OFF to specify whether to use libraries linked to the MS debug C++ runtime ("g" tag). Default is ON.

Boost_USE_DEBUG_PYTHON
    Set to ON to use libraries compiled with a debug Python build ("y" tag). Default is OFF.

Boost_USE_STLPORT
    Set to ON to use libraries compiled with STLPort ("p" tag). Default is OFF.

Boost_USE_STLPORT_DEPRECATED_NATIVE_IOSTREAMS
    Set to ON to use libraries compiled with STLPort deprecated "native iostreams" ("n" tag). Default is OFF.

Boost_COMPILER
    Set to the compiler-specific library suffix (e.g. -gcc43). Default is auto-computed for the C++ compiler in use.

    Changed in version 3.9: A list may be used if multiple compatible suffixes should be tested for, in decreasing order of preference.

Boost_LIB_PREFIX
    Added in version 3.18.

    Set to the platform-specific library name prefix (e.g. lib) used by Boost static libs. This is needed only on platforms where CMake does not know the prefix by default.

Boost_ARCHITECTURE
    Added in version 3.13.

    Set to the architecture-specific library suffix (e.g. -x64). Default is auto-computed for the C++ compiler in use.

Boost_THREADAPI
    Suffix for thread component library name, such as pthread or win32. Names with and without this suffix will both be tried.

Boost_NAMESPACE
    Alternate namespace used to build boost with e.g. if set to myboost, will search for myboost_thread instead of boost_thread.

    Other variables one may set to control this module are:

Boost_DEBUG
    Set to ON to enable debug output from FindBoost. Please enable this before filing any bug report.

Boost_REALPATH
    Set to ON to resolve symlinks for discovered libraries to assist with packaging. For example, the "system" component library may be resolved to /usr/lib/libboost_system.so.1.67.0 instead of /usr/lib/libboost_system.so. This does not affect linking and should not be enabled unless the user needs this information.

Boost_LIBRARY_DIR
    Default value for Boost_LIBRARY_DIR_RELEASE and Boost_LIBRARY_DIR_DEBUG.

Boost_NO_WARN_NEW_VERSIONS
    Added in version 3.20.

    Set to ON to suppress the warning about unknown dependencies for new Boost versions.

    On Visual Studio and Borland compilers Boost headers request automatic linking to corresponding libraries. This requires matching libraries to be linked explicitly or available in the link library search path. In this case setting Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS to OFF may not achieve dynamic linking. Boost automatic linking typically requests static libraries with a few exceptions (such as Boost.Python). Use:

        add_definitions(${Boost_LIB_DIAGNOSTIC_DEFINITIONS})

    to ask Boost to report information about automatic linking requests.

  Examples

Find Boost headers only:

    find_package(Boost 1.36.0)
    if(Boost_FOUND)
      include_directories(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS})
      add_executable(foo foo.cc)
    endif()

Find Boost libraries and use imported targets:

    find_package(Boost 1.56 REQUIRED COMPONENTS
                 date_time filesystem iostreams)
    add_executable(foo foo.cc)
    target_link_libraries(foo Boost::date_time Boost::filesystem
                              Boost::iostreams)

Find Boost Python 3.6 libraries and use imported targets:

    find_package(Boost 1.67 REQUIRED COMPONENTS
                 python36 numpy36)
    add_executable(foo foo.cc)
    target_link_libraries(foo Boost::python36 Boost::numpy36)

Find Boost headers and some static (release only) libraries:

    set(Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS        ON)  # only find static libs
    set(Boost_USE_DEBUG_LIBS        OFF)  # ignore debug libs and
    set(Boost_USE_RELEASE_LIBS       ON)  # only find release libs
    set(Boost_USE_MULTITHREADED      ON)
    set(Boost_USE_STATIC_RUNTIME    OFF)
    find_package(Boost 1.66.0 COMPONENTS date_time filesystem system ...)
    if(Boost_FOUND)
      include_directories(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS})
      add_executable(foo foo.cc)
      target_link_libraries(foo ${Boost_LIBRARIES})
    endif()

  Boost CMake

If Boost was built using the boost-cmake project or from Boost 1.70.0 on it provides a package configuration file for use with find_package's config mode. This module looks for the package configuration file called BoostConfig.cmake or boost-config.cmake and stores the result in CACHE entry Boost_DIR. If found, the package configuration file is loaded and this module returns with no further action. See documentation of the Boost CMake package configuration for details on what it provides.

Set Boost_NO_BOOST_CMAKE to ON, to disable the search for boost-cmake.

  FindCUDA

Changed in version 3.27: This module is available only if policy CMP0146 is not set to NEW. Port projects to CMake's first-class CUDA language support.

Deprecated since version 3.10: Do not use this module in new code.

It is no longer necessary to use this module or call find_package(CUDA) for compiling CUDA code. Instead, list CUDA among the languages named in the top-level call to the project() command, or call the enable_language() command with CUDA. Then one can add CUDA (.cu) sources directly to targets similar to other languages.

Added in version 3.17: To find and use the CUDA toolkit libraries manually, use the FindCUDAToolkit module instead. It works regardless of the CUDA language being enabled.

  Documentation of Deprecated Usage

Tools for building CUDA C files: libraries and build dependencies.

This script locates the NVIDIA CUDA C tools. It should work on Linux, Windows, and macOS and should be reasonably up to date with CUDA C releases.

Added in version 3.19: QNX support.

This script makes use of the standard find_package() arguments of <VERSION>, REQUIRED and QUIET. CUDA_FOUND will report if an acceptable version of CUDA was found.

The script will prompt the user to specify CUDA_TOOLKIT_ROOT_DIR if the prefix cannot be determined by the location of nvcc in the system path and REQUIRED is specified to find_package(). To use a different installed version of the toolkit set the environment variable CUDA_BIN_PATH before running cmake (e.g. CUDA_BIN_PATH=/usr/local/cuda1.0 instead of the default /usr/local/cuda) or set CUDA_TOOLKIT_ROOT_DIR after configuring. If you change the value of CUDA_TOOLKIT_ROOT_DIR, various components that depend on the path will be relocated.

It might be necessary to set CUDA_TOOLKIT_ROOT_DIR manually on certain platforms, or to use a CUDA runtime not installed in the default location. In newer versions of the toolkit the CUDA library is included with the graphics driver -- be sure that the driver version matches what is needed by the CUDA runtime version.

  Input Variables

The following variables affect the behavior of the macros in the script (in alphabetical order). Note that any of these flags can be changed multiple times in the same directory before calling cuda_add_executable(), cuda_add_library(), cuda_compile(), cuda_compile_ptx(), cuda_compile_fatbin(), cuda_compile_cubin() or cuda_wrap_srcs():

CUDA_64_BIT_DEVICE_CODE (Default: host bit size)
    Set to ON to compile for 64 bit device code, OFF for 32 bit device code. Note that making this different from the host code when generating object or C files from CUDA code just won't work, because size_t gets defined by nvcc in the generated source. If you compile to PTX and then load the file yourself, you can mix bit sizes between device and host.

CUDA_ATTACH_VS_BUILD_RULE_TO_CUDA_FILE (Default: ON)
    Set to ON if you want the custom build rule to be attached to the source file in Visual Studio. Turn OFF if you add the same cuda file to multiple targets.

    This allows the user to build the target from the CUDA file; however, bad things can happen if the CUDA source file is added to multiple targets. When performing parallel builds it is possible for the custom build command to be run more than once and in parallel causing cryptic build errors. VS runs the rules for every source file in the target, and a source can have only one rule no matter how many projects it is added to. When the rule is run from multiple targets race conditions can occur on the generated file. Eventually everything will get built, but if the user is unaware of this behavior, there may be confusion. It would be nice if this script could detect the reuse of source files across multiple targets and turn the option off for the user, but no good solution could be found.

CUDA_BUILD_CUBIN (Default: OFF)
    Set to ON to enable and extra compilation pass with the -cubin option in Device mode. The output is parsed and register, shared memory usage is printed during build.

CUDA_BUILD_EMULATION (Default: OFF for device mode)
    Set to ON for Emulation mode. -D_DEVICEEMU is defined for CUDA C files when CUDA_BUILD_EMULATION is TRUE.

CUDA_LINK_LIBRARIES_KEYWORD (Default: "")
    Added in version 3.9.

    The <PRIVATE|PUBLIC|INTERFACE> keyword to use for internal target_link_libraries() calls. The default is to use no keyword which uses the old "plain" form of target_link_libraries(). Note that is matters because whatever is used inside the FindCUDA module must also be used outside - the two forms of target_link_libraries() cannot be mixed.

CUDA_GENERATED_OUTPUT_DIR (Default: CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR)
    Set to the path you wish to have the generated files placed. If it is blank output files will be placed in CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR. Intermediate files will always be placed in CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR/CMakeFiles.

CUDA_HOST_COMPILATION_CPP (Default: ON)
    Set to OFF for C compilation of host code.

CUDA_HOST_COMPILER (Default: CMAKE_C_COMPILER)
    Set the host compiler to be used by nvcc. Ignored if -ccbin or --compiler-bindir is already present in the CUDA_NVCC_FLAGS or CUDA_NVCC_FLAGS_<CONFIG> variables. For Visual Studio targets, the host compiler is constructed with one or more visual studio macros such as $(VCInstallDir), that expands out to the path when the command is run from within VS.

    Added in version 3.13: If the CUDAHOSTCXX environment variable is set it will be used as the default.

CUDA_NVCC_FLAGS, CUDA_NVCC_FLAGS_<CONFIG>
    Additional NVCC command line arguments. NOTE: multiple arguments must be semi-colon delimited (e.g. --compiler-options;-Wall)

    Added in version 3.6: Contents of these variables may use generator expressions.

CUDA_PROPAGATE_HOST_FLAGS (Default: ON)
    Set to ON to propagate CMAKE_{C,CXX}_FLAGS and their configuration dependent counterparts (e.g. CMAKE_C_FLAGS_DEBUG) automatically to the host compiler through nvcc's -Xcompiler flag. This helps make the generated host code match the rest of the system better. Sometimes certain flags give nvcc problems, and this will help you turn the flag propagation off. This does not affect the flags supplied directly to nvcc via CUDA_NVCC_FLAGS or through the OPTION flags specified through cuda_add_library(), cuda_add_executable(), or cuda_wrap_srcs(). Flags used for shared library compilation are not affected by this flag.

CUDA_SEPARABLE_COMPILATION (Default: OFF)
    If set this will enable separable compilation for all CUDA runtime object files. If used outside of cuda_add_executable() and cuda_add_library() (e.g. calling cuda_wrap_srcs() directly), cuda_compute_separable_compilation_object_file_name() and cuda_link_separable_compilation_objects() should be called.

CUDA_SOURCE_PROPERTY_FORMAT
    Added in version 3.3.

    If this source file property is set, it can override the format specified to cuda_wrap_srcs() (OBJ, PTX, CUBIN, or FATBIN). If an input source file is not a .cu file, setting this file will cause it to be treated as a .cu file. See documentation for set_source_files_properties on how to set this property.

CUDA_USE_STATIC_CUDA_RUNTIME (Default: ON)
    Added in version 3.3.

    When enabled the static version of the CUDA runtime library will be used in CUDA_LIBRARIES. If the version of CUDA configured doesn't support this option, then it will be silently disabled.

CUDA_VERBOSE_BUILD (Default: OFF)
    Set to ON to see all the commands used when building the CUDA file. When using a Makefile generator the value defaults to VERBOSE (run make VERBOSE=1 to see output), although setting CUDA_VERBOSE_BUILD to ON will always print the output.

  Commands

The script creates the following functions and macros (in alphabetical order):

    cuda_add_cufft_to_target(<cuda_target>)

Adds the cufft library to the target (can be any target). Handles whether you are in emulation mode or not.

    cuda_add_cublas_to_target(<cuda_target>)

Adds the cublas library to the target (can be any target). Handles whether you are in emulation mode or not.

    cuda_add_executable(<cuda_target> <file>...
                        [WIN32] [MACOSX_BUNDLE] [EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL] [OPTIONS ...])

Creates an executable <cuda_target> which is made up of the files specified. All of the non CUDA C files are compiled using the standard build rules specified by CMake and the CUDA files are compiled to object files using nvcc and the host compiler. In addition CUDA_INCLUDE_DIRS is added automatically to include_directories(). Some standard CMake target calls can be used on the target after calling this macro (e.g. set_target_properties() and target_link_libraries()), but setting properties that adjust compilation flags will not affect code compiled by nvcc. Such flags should be modified before calling cuda_add_executable(), cuda_add_library() or cuda_wrap_srcs().

    cuda_add_library(<cuda_target> <file>...
                     [STATIC | SHARED | MODULE] [EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL] [OPTIONS ...])

Same as cuda_add_executable() except that a library is created.

    cuda_build_clean_target()

Creates a convenience target that deletes all the dependency files generated. You should make clean after running this target to ensure the dependency files get regenerated.

    cuda_compile(<generated_files> <file>... [STATIC | SHARED | MODULE]
                 [OPTIONS ...])

Returns a list of generated files from the input source files to be used with add_library() or add_executable().

    cuda_compile_ptx(<generated_files> <file>... [OPTIONS ...])

Returns a list of PTX files generated from the input source files.

    cuda_compile_fatbin(<generated_files> <file>... [OPTIONS ...])

Added in version 3.1.

Returns a list of FATBIN files generated from the input source files.

    cuda_compile_cubin(<generated_files> <file>... [OPTIONS ...])

Added in version 3.1.

Returns a list of CUBIN files generated from the input source files.

    cuda_compute_separable_compilation_object_file_name(<output_file_var>
                                                        <cuda_target>
                                                        <object_files>)

Compute the name of the intermediate link file used for separable compilation. This file name is typically passed into CUDA_LINK_SEPARABLE_COMPILATION_OBJECTS. output_file_var is produced based on cuda_target the list of objects files that need separable compilation as specified by <object_files>. If the <object_files> list is empty, then <output_file_var> will be empty. This function is called automatically for cuda_add_library() and cuda_add_executable(). Note that this is a function and not a macro.

    cuda_include_directories(path0 path1 ...)

Sets the directories that should be passed to nvcc (e.g. nvcc -Ipath0 -Ipath1 ...). These paths usually contain other .cu files.

    cuda_link_separable_compilation_objects(<output_file_var> <cuda_target>
                                            <nvcc_flags> <object_files>)

Generates the link object required by separable compilation from the given object files. This is called automatically for cuda_add_executable() and cuda_add_library(), but can be called manually when using cuda_wrap_srcs() directly. When called from cuda_add_library() or cuda_add_executable() the <nvcc_flags> passed in are the same as the flags passed in via the OPTIONS argument. The only nvcc flag added automatically is the bitness flag as specified by CUDA_64_BIT_DEVICE_CODE. Note that this is a function instead of a macro.

    cuda_select_nvcc_arch_flags(<out_variable> [<target_CUDA_architecture> ...])

Selects GPU arch flags for nvcc based on target_CUDA_architecture.

Values for target_CUDA_architecture:

•   Auto: detects local machine GPU compute arch at runtime.

•   Common and All: cover common and entire subsets of architectures.

•   <name>: one of Fermi, Kepler, Maxwell, Kepler+Tegra, Kepler+Tesla, Maxwell+Tegra, Pascal.

•   <ver>, <ver>(<ver>), <ver>+PTX, where <ver> is one of 2.0, 2.1, 3.0, 3.2, 3.5, 3.7, 5.0, 5.2, 5.3, 6.0, 6.2.

    Returns list of flags to be added to CUDA_NVCC_FLAGS in <out_variable>. Additionally, sets <out_variable>_readable to the resulting numeric list.

    Example:

        cuda_select_nvcc_arch_flags(ARCH_FLAGS "3.0" "3.5+PTX" "5.2(5.0)" "Maxwell")
        list(APPEND CUDA_NVCC_FLAGS ${ARCH_FLAGS})

    More info on CUDA architectures: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUDA. Note that this is a function instead of a macro.

        cuda_wrap_srcs(<cuda_target> <format> <generated_files> <file>...
                       [STATIC | SHARED | MODULE] [OPTIONS ...])

    This is where all the magic happens. cuda_add_executable(), cuda_add_library(), cuda_compile(), and cuda_compile_ptx() all call this function under the hood.

    Given the list of files <file>... this macro generates custom commands that generate either PTX or linkable objects (use PTX or OBJ for the <format> argument to switch). Files that don't end with .cu or have the HEADER_FILE_ONLY property are ignored.

    The arguments passed in after OPTIONS are extra command line options to give to nvcc. You can also specify per configuration options by specifying the name of the configuration followed by the options. General options must precede configuration specific options. Not all configurations need to be specified, only the ones provided will be used. For example:

        cuda_add_executable(...
          OPTIONS -DFLAG=2 "-DFLAG_OTHER=space in flag"
          DEBUG -g
          RELEASE --use_fast_math
          RELWITHDEBINFO --use_fast_math;-g
          MINSIZEREL --use_fast_math)

    For certain configurations (namely VS generating object files with CUDA_ATTACH_VS_BUILD_RULE_TO_CUDA_FILE set to ON), no generated file will be produced for the given cuda file. This is because when you add the cuda file to Visual Studio it knows that this file produces an object file and will link in the resulting object file automatically.

    This script will also generate a separate cmake script that is used at build time to invoke nvcc. This is for several reasons:

•   nvcc can return negative numbers as return values which confuses Visual Studio into thinking that the command succeeded. The script now checks the error codes and produces errors when there was a problem.

•   nvcc has been known to not delete incomplete results when it encounters problems. This confuses build systems into thinking the target was generated when in fact an unusable file exists. The script now deletes the output files if there was an error.

•   By putting all the options that affect the build into a file and then make the build rule dependent on the file, the output files will be regenerated when the options change.

    This script also looks at optional arguments STATIC, SHARED, or MODULE to determine when to target the object compilation for a shared library. BUILD_SHARED_LIBS is ignored in cuda_wrap_srcs(), but it is respected in cuda_add_library(). On some systems special flags are added for building objects intended for shared libraries. A preprocessor macro, <target_name>_EXPORTS is defined when a shared library compilation is detected.

    Flags passed into add_definitions with -D or /D are passed along to nvcc.

  Result Variables

The script defines the following variables:

CUDA_VERSION_MAJOR
    The major version of cuda as reported by nvcc.

CUDA_VERSION_MINOR
    The minor version.

CUDA_VERSION, CUDA_VERSION_STRING
    Full version in the X.Y format.

    Added in version 3.6: Whether a short float (float16, fp16) is supported.

CUDA_TOOLKIT_ROOT_DIR
    Path to the CUDA Toolkit (defined if not set).

CUDA_SDK_ROOT_DIR
    Path to the CUDA SDK. Use this to find files in the SDK. This script will not directly support finding specific libraries or headers, as that isn't supported by NVIDIA. If you want to change libraries when the path changes see the FindCUDA.cmake script for an example of how to clear these variables. There are also examples of how to use the CUDA_SDK_ROOT_DIR to locate headers or libraries, if you so choose (at your own risk).

CUDA_INCLUDE_DIRS
    Include directory for cuda headers. Added automatically for cuda_add_executable() and cuda_add_library().

CUDA_LIBRARIES

  FindDart

Deprecated since version 3.27: This module is available only if policy CMP0145 is not set to NEW.

Find DART

This module looks for the dart testing software and sets DART_ROOT to point to where it found it.

  FindGDAL

Find Geospatial Data Abstraction Library (GDAL).

Deprecated since version 4.0: GDAL 3.5 and above provide a GDALConfig.cmake package configuration file. Call find_package(GDAL CONFIG) to find it directly and avoid using this find module. For further details, see GDAL's documentation on CMake integration.

  Imported Targets

Added in version 3.14.

This module defines IMPORTED target GDAL::GDAL if GDAL has been found.

  Result Variables

This module will set the following variables in your project:

GDAL_FOUND
    True if GDAL is found.

GDAL_INCLUDE_DIRS
    Include directories for GDAL headers.

GDAL_LIBRARIES
    Libraries to link to GDAL.

GDAL_VERSION
    Added in version 3.14: The version of GDAL found.

  Cache variables

The following cache variables may also be set:

GDAL_LIBRARY
    The libgdal library file.

GDAL_INCLUDE_DIR
    The directory containing gdal.h.

  Hints

Set GDAL_DIR or GDAL_ROOT in the environment to specify the GDAL installation prefix.

The following variables may be set to modify the search strategy:

FindGDAL_SKIP_GDAL_CONFIG
    If set, gdal-config will not be used. This can be useful if there are GDAL libraries built with autotools (which provide the tool) and CMake (which do not) in the same environment.

GDAL_ADDITIONAL_LIBRARY_VERSIONS
    Extra versions of library names to search for.

  FindITK

This module no longer exists.

This module existed in versions of CMake prior to 3.1, but became only a thin wrapper around find_package(ITK NO_MODULE) to provide compatibility for projects using long-outdated conventions. Now find_package(ITK) will search for ITKConfig.cmake directly.

  FindPythonInterp

Changed in version 3.27: This module is available only if policy CMP0148 is not set to NEW.

Deprecated since version 3.12: Use FindPython3, FindPython2 or FindPython instead.

Find python interpreter

This module finds if Python interpreter is installed and determines where the executables are. This code sets the following variables:

    PYTHONINTERP_FOUND         - Was the Python executable found
    PYTHON_EXECUTABLE          - path to the Python interpreter

    PYTHON_VERSION_STRING      - Python version found e.g. 2.5.2
    PYTHON_VERSION_MAJOR       - Python major version found e.g. 2
    PYTHON_VERSION_MINOR       - Python minor version found e.g. 5
    PYTHON_VERSION_PATCH       - Python patch version found e.g. 2

The Python_ADDITIONAL_VERSIONS variable can be used to specify a list of version numbers that should be taken into account when searching for Python. You need to set this variable before calling find_package(PythonInterp).

If calling both find_package(PythonInterp) and find_package(PythonLibs), call find_package(PythonInterp) first to get the currently active Python version by default with a consistent version of PYTHON_LIBRARIES.

NOTE: A call to find_package(PythonInterp ${V}) for python version V may find a python executable with no version suffix. In this case no attempt is made to avoid python executables from other versions. Use FindPython3, FindPython2 or FindPython instead.

  FindPythonLibs

Changed in version 3.27: This module is available only if policy CMP0148 is not set to NEW.

Deprecated since version 3.12: Use FindPython3, FindPython2 or FindPython instead.

Find python libraries

This module finds if Python is installed and determines where the include files and libraries are. It also determines what the name of the library is. This code sets the following variables:

    PYTHONLIBS_FOUND           - have the Python libs been found
    PYTHON_LIBRARIES           - path to the python library
    PYTHON_INCLUDE_PATH        - path to where Python.h is found (deprecated)
    PYTHON_INCLUDE_DIRS        - path to where Python.h is found
    PYTHON_DEBUG_LIBRARIES     - path to the debug library (deprecated)
    PYTHONLIBS_VERSION_STRING  - version of the Python libs found (since CMake 2.8.8)

The Python_ADDITIONAL_VERSIONS variable can be used to specify a list of version numbers that should be taken into account when searching for Python. You need to set this variable before calling find_package(PythonLibs).

If you'd like to specify the installation of Python to use, you should modify the following cache variables:

    PYTHON_LIBRARY             - path to the python library
    PYTHON_INCLUDE_DIR         - path to where Python.h is found

If calling both find_package(PythonInterp) and find_package(PythonLibs), call find_package(PythonInterp) first to get the currently active Python version by default with a consistent version of PYTHON_LIBRARIES.

  FindQt

Deprecated since version 3.14: This module is available only if policy CMP0084 is not set to NEW.

Searches for all installed versions of Qt3 or Qt4.

This module cannot handle Qt5 or any later versions. For those, see cmake-qt(7).

This module should only be used if your project can work with multiple versions of Qt. If not, you should just directly use FindQt4 or FindQt3. If multiple versions of Qt are found on the machine, then The user must set the option DESIRED_QT_VERSION to the version they want to use. If only one version of qt is found on the machine, then the DESIRED_QT_VERSION is set to that version and the matching FindQt3 or FindQt4 module is included. Once the user sets DESIRED_QT_VERSION, then the FindQt3 or FindQt4 module is included.

    QT_REQUIRED if this is set to TRUE then if CMake can
                not find Qt4 or Qt3 an error is raised
                and a message is sent to the user.

    DESIRED_QT_VERSION OPTION is created
    QT4_INSTALLED is set to TRUE if qt4 is found.
    QT3_INSTALLED is set to TRUE if qt3 is found.

  FindUnixCommands

Deprecated since version 3.26: Use ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E subcommands instead.

Find Unix commands, including the ones from Cygwin

This module looks for the Unix commands bash, cp, gzip, mv, rm, and tar and stores the result in the variables BASH, CP, GZIP, MV, RM, and TAR.

  FindVTK

This module no longer exists.

This module existed in versions of CMake prior to 3.1, but became only a thin wrapper around find_package(VTK NO_MODULE) to provide compatibility for projects using long-outdated conventions. Now find_package(VTK) will search for VTKConfig.cmake directly.

  FindwxWindows

Deprecated since version 3.0: Replaced by FindwxWidgets.

Find wxWindows (wxWidgets) installation

This module finds if wxWindows/wxWidgets is installed and determines where the include files and libraries are. It also determines what the name of the library is. This code sets the following variables:

    WXWINDOWS_FOUND     = system has WxWindows
    WXWINDOWS_LIBRARIES = path to the wxWindows libraries
                          on Unix/Linux with additional
                          linker flags from
                          "wx-config --libs"
    CMAKE_WXWINDOWS_CXX_FLAGS  = Compiler flags for wxWindows,
                                 essentially "`wx-config --cxxflags`"
                                 on Linux
    WXWINDOWS_INCLUDE_DIR      = where to find "wx/wx.h" and "wx/setup.h"
    WXWINDOWS_LINK_DIRECTORIES = link directories, useful for rpath on
                                  Unix
