Hello,
If I have a FIND_LIBRARY entry that depends on a variable, such as LIB_DIR here:
FIND_LIBRARY(XXX_LIB lib_name ${LIB_DIR}/lib)
How can I force the FIND_LIBRARY to run again upon changing the
LIB_DIR value. Regularly it won't do it because there is a XXX_LIB
entry for it already in the cache, right?
Well, It seems I found a solution to this... I post here for whoever
is interested, but I also would welcome feedback about it, specially
from the cmake gurus on whether or not I'm doing things right.
I set an INTERNAL CACHE entry OLD_LIB_DIR to store the LIB_DIR value.
Then if LIB_DIR changes I set the XXX library that had a
LIB_DIR-dependent path to "XXX-NOTFOUND". The assumption (which
obviously is working for me here) is that if the value of the library
variable is its variable name plus a "-NOTFOUND" tag appended to it
then FIND_LIBRARY tries to find it again when cmake is rerun. Is this
right?
Below the code that I'm using.
Thanks, Miguel
