The fact that a separate find_library is called for it and the result is stored in a separate (user-settable) cache entry means that it is possible to get two different values. This convention is well established in several find modules. > Having the PROTOBUF_LIBRARIES variable getting the afore mentioned > value messes up the client code using `find_package(Protobuf)` on Unix. The only supported use for PROTOBUF_LIBRARIES is to pass it to target_link_libraries, and that interprets the 'optimized' and 'debug' keywords. This is shown in the module documentation example: target_link_libraries(bar ${PROTOBUF_LIBRARIES}) The documentation makes no other guarantees about the variable value. -Brad -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
