cmake_find_package¶
This is the reference page for
cmake_find_package generator.
Go to Integrations/CMake if you want to learn how to integrate your project or recipes with CMake.The cmake_find_package generator creates a file for each requirement specified in the conanfile.
The name of the files follow the pattern Find<package_name>.cmake. So for the zlib/1.2.11@conan/stable package,
a Findzlib.cmake file will be generated.
Variables in Find{name}.cmake¶
Being {name} the package name:
| NAME | VALUE |
|---|---|
| {name}_FOUND | Set to 1 |
| {name}_INCLUDE_DIRS | Containing all the include directories of the package |
| {name}_INCLUDES | Same as the XXX_INCLUDE_DIRS |
| {name}_DEFINITIONS | Definitions of the library |
| {name}_LIBRARIES | Library paths to link |
| {name}_LIBS | Same as XXX_LIBRARIES |
Target in Find<package_name>.cmake¶
A target named {name}::{name} target is generated with the following properties adjusted:
INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES: Containing all the include directories of the package.INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES: Library paths to link.INTERFACE_COMPILE_DEFINITIONS: Definitions of the library.
The targets are transitive. So, if your project depends on a packages A and B, and at the same time
A depends on C, the A target will contain automatically the properties of the C dependency, so
in your CMakeLists.txt file you only need to find_package(A) and find_package(B).
