Dear CMake Developers,
This is a feature request: Additional directory for customized/private
CMake modules.
It is very convenient that CMake comes with a lot of preconfigured modules
per default. There are a lot of usable modules in CMake's standard module
directory like:
:/usr/share/cmake-2.6/Modules$ ls Find*
FindAVIFile.cmake FindosgGA.cmake
FindBLAS.cmake FindosgIntrospection.cmake
FindBoost.cmake FindosgManipulator.cmake
FindBZip2.cmake FindosgParticle.cmake
FindCABLE.cmake FindosgProducer.cmake
FindCups.cmake FindosgShadow.cmake
But sometimes it is necessary to add or override these Modules.
Adding a customized module to CMake's standard module directory is
possible, but I see a problem if CMake delivers an own version of this
modulein an updated package.
Overriding a customized module in CMake's standard module directory is
more tricky. If I want to switch between my customized module and CMake's
module I have to backup files to do that. This is a source of a lot of
errors.
Is it possible that you add an additional directory for customized modules
where CMake is looking for modules? Modules in this directory should be
treated with a higher priority than Modules in CMake's standard module
directory.
Best
Dominique
