We went through many iterations on the wording of that message in response to user feedback before settling on what is currently there. When someone wants a package to be found they need a good explanation when it is not and hints about how to resolve the problem. If a dependency is optional and it is not a problem to be missing then the project can use the find_package QUIET option and then optionally add its own message() about the missing package. -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.
