Help: None of the find_...() command docs mention the find debugging features
Features have been added and recently extended for debugging the various find_...()
commands. The cmake
options --debug-find
, --debug-find-pkg
and --debug-find-var
, along with the CMAKE_FIND_DEBUG_MODE
variable are all useful, but should be discoverable from the documentation of those commands. The cmake(1)
manual documents the command line options, but they are only brief and you'd have to know to look for them. The find_package()
docs in particular would benefit from an added section on debugging features, since it is the most complicated case out of all the find_...()
commands.
