No, the current behavior is intentional. The problem is that find_package has two modes. First it looks for a FindXXX.cmake file and loads that if it finds one (module mode). If it does not then it looks for XXXConfig (config mode) with XXX_DIR. When the command was originally created we assumed that anyone that wants it to use FindXXX would ensure that it is in the CMAKE_MODULE_PATH before calling find_package(XXX). Therefore we made the default error message talk about just XXX_DIR and not mention the module mode at all. This is the type of message you seem to want. However, people that *did* want to use FindXXX in module mode but failed to put it in the CMAKE_MODULE_PATH complained that the error message gave no information about missing FindXXX and talked only about XXX_DIR. Now the message talks about both options. -Brad _______________________________________________ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
