Hello,
I know this topic isn't new, but I like to bring it up again.
>From
Modules/readme.txt
I get the following. A Find*.cmake file should _always_ set the plural forms
like:
XXX_INCLUDE_DIRS
XXX_LIBRARY_DIRS
...
while the singular forms are appropriate for UI entries and internal usage.
There are many modules which don't define the plural form. Adding sections
like this
<FindXXX.cmake>
...
# forwards to plural variable names: See Modules/readme.txt
SET(XXX_INCLUDE_DIRS ${XXX_INCLUDE_DIR})
...
<FindXXX.cmake>
doesn't break any backwards compatibility.
The only problem might be a projects developed with a consistent version of
cmake doesn't build with an inconsistent one. IMHO cmake-2.6 is the good
staring point for this.
Before I start sending patches I would like to hear if there are objections
against.
Best,
-- Maik
