Hi Christoph, Thanks for working on this.

The varying tools do not all come in the same package on Linux distros. Of course most projects will want most or all of the tools. For this I think the FindLATEX module should implement support for the find_package COMPONENTS option. Then projects can specify what they need: find_package(LATEX COMPONENTS latex pdflatex bibtex ...) and the module will compute the proper LATEX_FOUND value based on the availability of all the requested components. > If this is still to restrictive, I propose to only test for the LaTeX > compiler and let the user check for the other binaries (with > if(MAKEINDEX_COMPILER) ) With proper component support I think that proposal makes sense. If no components are listed then LATEX_FOUND should be based only on LATEX_COMPILER. If components are listed then all of them must be found. Of course this approach can be implemented first to get FPHSA working and component support added later. Any components listed would just be added to the list given to the REQUIRED_VARS option of FPHSA. > In any case, I'll have to clarify this in the documentation for my next > patch.
