If I install 2.0, swig is found correctly. The attached patch fixes it. Seems like find_program is not called with conventions from the documentation. Steps to Reproduce: project(TestFindSWIG) cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8) find_package(SWIG)
Brad has accepted this patch and closed the bug. However, I am interested because PLplot uses swig-1.3 with no user reports of problems (has done for years). I personally have never seen swig finding problems for Linux and also a MinGW/MSYS/wine platform. Furthermore, I cannot reproduce the bug even with the simple test example above for my platform (Debian stable with CMake-2.8.4 that I built myself, and swig version 1.3.40-3). On the other hand, the patch does look correct to me. So, Brad, how in the world does find_package(SWIG) work at all for both my Linux and wine platforms? Or to put it another way, for what platforms (with swig-1.3) will this bug be triggered (until the fix goes into a release)? Alan __________________________ Alan W.
