Hello list,
I was wondering if a better way to handle failed find_library under
windows would be to give the user a chance to manually find the package
before giving an error. I know the user always has the chance to specify
the path afterwards in the GUI, but I think that for users that are new
to CMake it may be slightly intimidating to get error messages if
find_library fails. I think it would be a good idea to add a new
find_library option that would turn on user intervention when find
package fails that would pop up a file picker dialog with a custom
message like "select the root boost directory, eg. boost_1_26". I think
this would be most helpful under windows when running in the gui dialog.
I would prefer to use the gui. That is exactly what it is for. The
project should be able to customize warnings and give proper instruction
to the user. I don't want the command line cmake to pop anything up on
windows or any os.
