You don't want to "enable " ( see CMake command enable_language(languageName [OPTIONAL] ) C++ for people which do "only" use plain C. Thus the check_functions may be updated to be smart enough to try C++ free function if ever C++ language has been enabled? My be checking CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_WORKS is possible ? or may be it would be easier to explicitely tell this fact to the macro CHECK_FUNCTION_EXISTS(std::copy HAVE_COPY LANGUAGE CXX) -- Erk Membre de l'April - « promouvoir et défendre le logiciel libre » - http://www.april.org _______________________________________________ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
