I am a CMake newbie (like, just this week), and this is only a partial solution
(I think I could probably flesh it out if we knew what the version string would
look like in all situations), but maybe something like this:
CMakeLists.txt:
set(CMAKE_MODULE_PATH ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR})
find_package(ClangFormat)
if(CLANG_FORMAT_FOUND)
message("clang-format executable: ${CLANG_FORMAT_EXECUTABLE}")
message("clang-format version: ${CLANG_FORMAT_VERSION}")
else()
message("clang-format executable not found")
endif()
FindClangFormat.cmake (in the CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR):
string(REPLACE ":" ";" _PATH $ENV{PATH})
foreach(p ${_PATH})
file(GLOB cand ${p}/clang-format*)
if(cand)
set(CLANG_FORMAT_EXECUTABLE ${cand})
set(CLANG_FORMAT_FOUND ON)
execute_process(COMMAND ${CLANG_FORMAT_EXECUTABLE} -version
OUTPUT_VARIABLE clang_out )
string(REGEX MATCH .*\(version[^\n]*\)\n version ${clang_out})
set(CLANG_FORMAT_VERSION ${CMAKE_MATCH_1})
break()
else()
set(CLANG_FORMAT_FOUND OFF)
endif()
endforeach()
