Hi,
I started working with a project that shows what I think is inconsistent
`find_package(Qt5 ...)` behaviour. In its stock form, the general Qt5 component
isn't found while the rest is except for 1 evident exception:
find_package(Qt5 5.3.0 REQUIRED
COMPONENTS
Core Gui Network PrintSupport Svg Test Widgets Xml)
find_package(Qt5 5.3.0 QUIET
COMPONENTS
Declarative Quick Sql ...)
--->
* Qt5Core
* Qt5Gui
* Qt5Network
* Qt5PrintSupport
* Qt5Svg
* Qt5Test
* Qt5Widgets
* Qt5Xml
* Qt5Qml (required version >= 5.7.1)
* Qt5Sql
<snip>
-- The following REQUIRED packages have not been found:
* Qt5 (required version >= 5.3.0)
When I remove "Declarative" from the 2nd find_package call above, all of a
sudden Qt5 is found. When I remove the REQUIRED keyword from the 1st call (but
not "Declarative"), Qt5 is still not found but I only get a warning.
The components requested in the 2nd call are all set as RECOMMENDED or OPTIONAL
in subsequent statements, so the proper way to handle this (assuming the
project wants to continue supporting QtQuick1) appears to be to add a dedicated
find_package(Qt5Declarative 5.3.0 QUIET)
All in all this seems inconsistent and at least counterintuitive behaviour to
me (which took me a while to figure out). That 2nd, QUIET find_package()
doesn't set the REQUIRED property, and also shouldn't override the status of a
package that has already been found (not as long as it finds the same
installation).
Is this something that can be rectified in Qt's cmake modules, or is it another
CMake issue?
R.
