- Module documentation updated and synced with other similar find
  modules.
- Added examples section highlighting the usage of the FindwxWidgets
  module instead.

Find wxWindows (wxWidgets) installation
Finds the wxWidgets (formerly known as wxWindows) installation and determines
the locations of its include directories and libraries, as well as the name of
the library.
This module finds if wxWindows/wxWidgets is installed and determines
where the include files and libraries are. It also determines what
the name of the library is. This code sets the following variables:
wxWidgets 2.6.x is supported for monolithic builds, such as those compiled in
the ``wx/build/msw`` directory using:
::
WXWINDOWS_FOUND = system has WxWindows
WXWINDOWS_LIBRARIES = path to the wxWindows libraries
on Unix/Linux with additional
linker flags from
"wx-config --libs"
CMAKE_WXWINDOWS_CXX_FLAGS = Compiler flags for wxWindows,
essentially "`wx-config --cxxflags`"
on Linux
WXWINDOWS_INCLUDE_DIR = where to find "wx/wx.h" and "wx/setup.h"
WXWINDOWS_LINK_DIRECTORIES = link directories, useful for rpath on
Unix
WXWINDOWS_DEFINITIONS = extra defines
OPTIONS If you need OpenGL support please
.. code-block:: cmake
set(WXWINDOWS_USE_GL 1)
in your CMakeLists.txt *before* you include this file.
::
HAVE_ISYSTEM - true required to replace -I by -isystem on g++
For convenience include Use_wxWindows.cmake in your project's
CMakeLists.txt using
include(${CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR}/Use_wxWindows.cmake).
USAGE
.. code-block:: cmake
set(WXWINDOWS_USE_GL 1)
find_package(wxWindows)
NOTES wxWidgets 2.6.x is supported for monolithic builds e.g.
compiled in wx/build/msw dir as:
::
.. code-block:: shell
nmake -f makefile.vc BUILD=debug SHARED=0 USE_OPENGL=1 MONOLITHIC=1
Result Variables
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This module defines the following variables:
DEPRECATED
``WXWINDOWS_FOUND``
Boolean indicating whether the wxWidgets is found.
``WXWINDOWS_LIBRARIES``
Libraries needed to link against to use wxWidgets. This includes paths to
the wxWidgets libraries and any additional linker flags, typically derived
from the output of ``wx-config --libs`` on Unix/Linux systems.
``CMAKE_WXWINDOWS_CXX_FLAGS``
Compiler options needed to use wxWidgets (if any). On Linux, this corresponds
to the output of ``wx-config --cxxflags``.
``WXWINDOWS_INCLUDE_DIR``
The directory containing the ``wx/wx.h`` and ``wx/setup.h`` header files.
``WXWINDOWS_LINK_DIRECTORIES``
Link directories, useful for setting ``rpath`` on Unix-like platforms.
``WXWINDOWS_DEFINITIONS``
Extra compile definitions needed to use wxWidgets (if any).
::
Hints
^^^^^
CMAKE_WX_CAN_COMPILE
WXWINDOWS_LIBRARY
CMAKE_WX_CXX_FLAGS
WXWINDOWS_INCLUDE_PATH
This module accepts the following variables before calling the
``find_package(wxWindows)``:
``WXWINDOWS_USE_GL``
Set this variable to boolean true to require OpenGL support.
``HAVE_ISYSTEM``
Set this variable to boolean true to replace ``-I`` compiler options with
``-isystem`` when the C++ compiler is GNU (``g++``).

Deprecated Variables
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
These variables are provided for backward compatibility:
``CMAKE_WX_CAN_COMPILE``
.. deprecated:: 1.8
Replaced by the ``WXWINDOWS_FOUND`` variable with the same value.
``WXWINDOWS_LIBRARY``
.. deprecated:: 1.8
Replaced by the ``WXWINDOWS_LIBRARIES`` variable with the same value.
``CMAKE_WX_CXX_FLAGS``
.. deprecated:: 1.8
Replaced by the ``CMAKE_WXWINDOWS_CXX_FLAGS`` variable with the same value.
``WXWINDOWS_INCLUDE_PATH``
.. deprecated:: 1.8
Replaced by the ``WXWINDOWS_INCLUDE_DIR`` variable with the same value.
Examples
^^^^^^^^
Example: Finding wxWidgets in earlier CMake versions
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
In earlier versions of CMake, wxWidgets (wxWindows) could be found using:
.. code-block:: cmake
find_package(wxWindows)
To request OpenGL support, the ``WXWINDOWS_USE_GL`` variable could be set before
calling ``find_package()``:
.. code-block:: cmake
set(WXWINDOWS_USE_GL ON)
find_package(wxWindows)
Using wxWidgets (wxWindows) in CMake was commonly done by including the
:module:`Use_wxWindows` module, which would find wxWidgets and set the
appropriate libraries, include directories, and compiler flags:
.. code-block:: cmake
include(Use_wxWindows)
Example: Finding wxWidgets as of CMake 3.0
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Starting with CMake 3.0, wxWidgets can be found using the
:module:`FindwxWidgets` module:
.. code-block:: cmake
find_package(wxWidgets)
