Below is my find script for sigc++. It's my understanding this approach is generally preferred because it will attempt to use pkg-config if it can, but will still search for the required things if it cannot.
# - Try to find SigC++-2.0 # Once done, this will define # # SigC++_FOUND - system has SigC++ # SigC++_INCLUDE_DIRS - the SigC++ include directories # SigC++_LIBRARIES - link these to use SigC++ include(LibFindMacros) # Use pkg-config to get hints about paths libfind_pkg_check_modules(SigC++_PKGCONF sigc++-2.0) # Main include dir find_path(SigC++_INCLUDE_DIR NAMES sigc++/sigc++.h PATHS ${SigC++_PKGCONF_INCLUDE_DIRS} PATH_SUFFIXES sigc++-2.0 ) # Glib-related libraries also use a separate config header, which is in lib dir find_path(SigC++Config_INCLUDE_DIR NAMES sigc++config.h PATHS ${SigC++_PKGCONF_INCLUDE_DIRS} /usr PATH_SUFFIXES lib/sigc++-2.0/include ) libfind_library(SigC++ sigc 2.0) # Set the include dir variables and the libraries and let libfind_process do the rest. # NOTE: Singular variables for this library, plural for libraries this this lib depends on. set(SigC++_PROCESS_INCLUDES SigC++_INCLUDE_DIR SigC++Config_INCLUDE_DIR) set(SigC++_PROCESS_LIBS SigC++_LIBRARY) libfind_process(SigC++) On Thu, 2012-02-09 at 15:52 +0100, Jens Bäckman wrote: > 9 feb 2012 kl. 15:44 skrev Rui Maciel: > > > I've started a small pet project with the purpose of getting acquainted > > with cmake, and I intended to use libsigc++ on that project.
