Hello, In a previous thread discussion (http://www.cmake.org/pipermail/cmake/2007-October/017020.html) the following issue arose and I'm asking this as a separate thread so it can be noticed; as suggested by Alex.
There is a variable that I'm using named ImageMagick_EXECUTABLE_DIR. Initially I thought I should use ImageMagick_ROOT_DIR, but then I thought it could be misleading. When searching for a collection of utilities, such as ImageMagick's command-line executables or LaTeX set of binaries, it is often the case that you want to find the dir that contains this collection. I think this variable should be named XXX_EXECUTABLE_DIR. I don't think I should reuse the XXX_ROOT_DIR, because it can be misleading. For example, my first guess would associate the following in my windows installation: CMake_ROOT_DIR : C:/Program Files/CMake CMake_EXECUTABLE_DIR: C:/Program Files/CMake/bin If this makes sense (nobody objects to my philosophical analysis ;) ), then I will add the variable to the Modules/readme.txt as it is missing. --Miguel _______________________________________________ CMake mailing list [email protected] http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
