Hi,

I get the error

CMake Error: Error in cmake code at
.../CMakeLists.txt:295:
STRING no output variable specified

by this peace of code:


set (requiredPackages
 ZLIB
 BZip2
 XercesC
 CURL
 Log4cxx
)

foreach (package ${requiredPackages})
 find_package(${package} REQUIRED)
 include_directories(${${package}_INCLUDE_DIRS})
 string(TOUPPER ${${package}_LIBRARIES} PACKAGE_LIBRARIES)
 link_directories(${PACKAGE_LIBRARIES})
 target_link_libraries(${app_name} ${PACKAGE_LIBRARIES})
endforeach()

Imo there is an output variable of course. Anyway, I have to work around
the upper/lower case depencies from FindXXX naming ...

How to solve this?

I find the most useful (only?) way to debug CMake scripts is to use
MESSAGE(...) to print out intermediate results such as
${${package}_LIBRARIES}.  Once you do that, my guess is you will find that
variable does not exist for some/all of your packages so that the effective
command was string(TOUPPER PACKAGE_LIBRARIES) leading to the error message
you obtained.
