on Microsoft Windows
Finds Cygwin, a POSIX-compatible environment that runs natively on Microsoft
Windows.
.. note::
This module is primarily intended for use in other :ref:`Find Modules` to help
locate programs when using the ``find_*()`` commands, such as
:command:`find_program`. In most cases, direct use of those commands is
sufficient. Use this module only if a specific program is known to be
installed via Cygwin and is usable from Windows.
Result Variables
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This module defines the following variables:
``CYGWIN_INSTALL_PATH``
The path to the Cygwin root installation directory.
Examples
^^^^^^^^
Finding the Cygwin installation and using its path in a custom find module:
.. code-block:: cmake
:caption: FindFoo.cmake
find_package(Cygwin)
find_program(Foo_EXECUTABLE NAMES foo PATHS ${CYGWIN_INSTALL_PATH}/bin)
include(FindPackageHandleStandardArgs)
find_package_handle_standard_args(Foo REQUIRED_VARS Foo_EXECUTABLE)
See Also
^^^^^^^^
* The :module:`FindMsys` module to find MSYS path in a similar way.
