Currently, using cmake2.5, I am finding the lookup order of FIND_PATH / FIND_LIBRARY to be counter productive, so I'm wondering if this is a bug or intended behavior. If intended behavior, I would also want to know what's the proper way around it.
Currently I have a project that may require some newer libraries than those shipped with my Unix system. Those get manually compiled with autoconf and placed under /usr/local. My problem is that FIND_PATH / FIND_LIBRARY locate the equivalent libraries in /usr/ instead of those in /usr/local, leading to problems. Sure enough, if I print: MESSAGE( "CMAKE_SYSTEM_INCLUDE_PATH=${CMAKE_SYSTEM_INCLUDE_PATH}" ) MESSAGE( "CMAKE_SYSTEM_LIBRARY_PATH=${CMAKE_SYSTEM_LIBRARY_PATH}" ) I find that: CMAKE_SYSTEM_INCLUDE_PATH=/include;/usr/include;/usr/local/include;... CMAKE_SYSTEM_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib;/usr/lib;/usr/local/lib;/usr/lib/w32api;... That is: /usr/local/include and /usr/local/lib are placed *after* the main includes for the system. This makes it impossible to override some system library with a local one. Now... isn't this totally backwards!? I mean, my LD_LIBRARY_PATH is usually this: /usr/local/lib:/usr/lib:/lib:/usr/local/lib32/:/usr/lib32:/lib32: /usr/local/lib is usually a directory where a local admin may have access to, while /usr is closed to everybody except root. -- Gonzalo Garramuño [EMAIL PROTECTED] AMD4400 - ASUS48N-E GeForce7300GT Kubuntu Edgy _______________________________________________ CMake mailing list CMake@cmake.org http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
