I was discussing with Brad about using SelectLibraryConfigurations in
FindGTK2.cmake, but there are a couple of things that I don't like in
this module:
SelectLibraryConfigurations module currently cache and mark as advanced
the variable ${basename}_LIBRARY.
${basename}_LIBRARY_RELEASE and ${basename}_LIBRARY_DEBUG are usually
cached, because they often come from find_library().
${basename}_LIBRARY on the other hand is always of type
"optimized;${${basename}_LIBRARY_RELEASE};debug;${${basename}_LIBRARY_DEBUG}"
or just "${basename}_LIBRARY_RELEASE" or "${basename}_LIBRARY_DEBUG" if
only one version of the library is not found, if both have the same
value, or if configuration types are not supported.
I believe that caching and marking as advanced just
${basename}_LIBRARY_RELEASE and ${basename}_LIBRARY_DEBUG is enough,
just by modifying these two variables, the user has enough control on
finding the library, and having 3 variables is IMO redundant and confusing.
So, is there a reason why ${basename}_LIBRARY is cached?
Another issue is that if one of the libraries (_DEBUG or _RELEASE) is
not set, the value is set to the value of the other one.
FindQt4, from which the macro is extracted, sets the values to
XXX_LIBRARY_{DEBUG,RELEASE}-NOTFOUND instead.
In both cases the XXX_LIBRARY is correct, but IMO using NOTFOUND makes
it easier to understand which one is missing.
I tried to fix these issues, you can find the patches attached.
Regards,
Daniele
