The following issue has been SUBMITTED. ====================================================================== https://cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=15810 ====================================================================== Reported By: bchretien Assigned To: ====================================================================== Project: CMake Issue ID: 15810 Category: Modules Reproducibility: always Severity: minor Priority: normal Status: new ====================================================================== Date Submitted: 2015-10-27 01:29 EDT Last Modified: 2015-10-27 01:29 EDT ====================================================================== Summary: FindPkgConfig.cmake: error returned to the user may be wrong when checking for package existence Description: In some cases, CMake returns the following error:
-- Checking for module 'foo' -- Package 'foo' not found When the actual error returned by pkg-config is actually: Package 'bar', required by 'foo', not found This seems related to https://cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=14310, however I did not have the exact same problem: CMake does stop with an error, just not the correct one. Steps to Reproduce: I used the same example as in https://cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=14310 CMakeLists.txt ============== cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8) include(FindPkgConfig) pkg_check_modules(FOO REQUIRED foo) foo.pc ====== Name: foo Description: foo Version: 0 Requires: bar Cflags: -I/usr/include/foo Steps ===== # store both files in a directory $ PKG_CONFIG_PATH=. cmake . Expected ======== Failure, explaining that 'foo' was found but `bar` was not. Current ====== Failure, explaining that 'foo' was not found. Additional Information: I made a patch that solves this issue. Now, the actual error is forwarded to the user, for instance: -- Checking for module 'foo' -- Package 'bar', required by 'foo', not found For the standard case (i.e. the package was indeed not found), the CMake error was: -- Checking for module 'foo' -- Package 'foo' not found But with this patch, it now prints: -- Checking for module 'foo' -- No package 'foo' found ====================================================================== Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 2015-10-27 01:29 bchretien New Issue 2015-10-27 01:29 bchretien File Added: 0001-FindPkgConfig-return-the-actual-error-when-a-package.patch ====================================================================== -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
