I've tried this again, but on OSX. The first example,
cmake_minimum_required( VERSION 3.0 )
project( "cmakefindlibtest" )
list( APPEND CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH "/Users/tmiddleton/lib" )
find_library( punycode_library_test punycode )
message( "punycode_library_test is now ${punycode_library_test}" )
doesn't work - perhaps because find_library() doesn't have any paths to
prepend with CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH? But this,
cmake_minimum_required( VERSION 3.0 )
project( "cmakefindlibtest" )
list( APPEND CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH "/Users/tmiddleton" )
list( APPEND CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH "lib" )
find_library( punycode_library_test punycode )
message( "punycode_library_test is now ${punycode_library_test}" )
and this,
cmake_minimum_required( VERSION 3.0 )
project( "cmakefindlibtest" )
list( APPEND CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH "/Users/tmiddleton" )
find_library( punycode_library_test punycode PATHS "lib" )
message( "punycode_library_test is now ${punycode_library_test}" )
DO work, as expected. Should I raise a bug for the Windows version? Is the
first example supposed to work too?
