FindPackageMessage
------------------
This module provides a command for printing find result messages and is
intended for use in :ref:`Find Modules`.
Load it in a CMake find module with:
.. code-block:: cmake
include(FindPackageMessage)
Commands
^^^^^^^^
This module provides the following command:
.. command:: find_package_message
Prints a message once for each unique find result to inform the user which
package was found and where:
.. code-block:: cmake
find_package_message(<PackageName> <message> <details>)
``<PackageName>``
The name of the package (for example, as used in the
``Find<PackageName>.cmake`` module filename).
``<message>``
The message string to display.
``<details>``
A unique identifier for tracking message display. The ``<message>`` is
printed only once per distinct ``<details>`` value. If ``<details>`` string
changes in a subsequent configuration phase, the message will be displayed
again.
If :command:`find_package` was called with the ``QUIET`` option, the
``<message>`` is not printed.
Examples
^^^^^^^^
Printing a result message in a custom find module:
.. code-block:: cmake
:caption: ``FindFoo.cmake``
find_library(Foo_LIBRARY foo)
find_path(Foo_INCLUDE_DIR foo.h)
include(FindPackageMessage)
if(Foo_LIBRARY AND Foo_INCLUDE_DIR)
find_package_message(
Foo
"Found Foo: ${Foo_LIBRARY}"
"[${Foo_LIBRARY}][${Foo_INCLUDE_DIR}]"
)
else()
message(STATUS "Could NOT find Foo")
endif()
When writing standard find modules, use the
:module:`FindPackageHandleStandardArgs` module and its
:command:`find_package_handle_standard_args` command which automatically
prints the find result message based on whether the package was found:
.. code-block:: cmake
:caption: ``FindFoo.cmake``
# ...
include(FindPackageHandleStandardArgs)
find_package_handle_standard_args(
Foo
REQUIRED_VARS Foo_LIBRARY Foo_INCLUDE_DIR
)
#]=======================================================================]
function(find_package_message pkg msg details)
# Avoid printing a message repeatedly for the same find result.
if(NOT ${pkg}_FIND_QUIETLY)
string(REPLACE "\n" "" details "${details}")
set(DETAILS_VAR FIND_PACKAGE_MESSAGE_DETAILS_${pkg})
if(NOT "${details}" STREQUAL "${${DETAILS_VAR}}")
# The message has not yet been printed.
string(STRIP "${msg}" msg)
message(STATUS "${msg}")
# Save the find details in the cache to avoid printing the same
# message again.
set("${DETAILS_VAR}" "${details}"
CACHE INTERNAL "Details about finding ${pkg}")
endif()
endif()
endfunction()
