NAME

ecm-find-modules - ECM Find Modules Reference

Find modules are used by the CMake find_package command to search for packages that do not provide their own CMake package config files. CMake provides an extensive set of find modules, and Extra CMake Modules (ECM) adds to that.

To use ECM’s find modules, you need to tell CMake to find the ECM package, and then add either ${ECM_MODULE_PATH} or ${ECM_FIND_MODULE_DIR} to the CMAKE_MODULE_PATH variable:

find_package(ECM REQUIRED NO_MODULE)
set(CMAKE_MODULE_PATH ${ECM_FIND_MODULE_DIR})

Using ${ECM_MODULE_PATH} will also make the modules intended for direct use by CMake scripts available (see ecm-modules(7) and ecm-kde-modules(7)).

You can also make local copies of find modules using the ecm_use_find_modules function from ECMUseFindModules, which is automatically included when ECM is found:

find_package(ECM REQUIRED NO_MODULE)
ecm_use_find_modules(
DIR "${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/cmake"
MODULES FindEGL.cmake
)
set(CMAKE_MODULE_PATH "${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/cmake")

This allows selective use of ECM’s find modules, and the NO_OVERRIDE argument can be used to ensure that if CMake ships its own version of that find module, it will be used instead.

ALL FIND MODULES

Find7Zip
Try to find 7-Zip.

If the 7-Zip executable is not in your PATH, you can provide an alternative name or full path location with the 7Zip_EXECUTABLE variable.

This will define the following variables:
7Zip_FOUND

TRUE if 7-Zip is available

7Zip_EXECUTABLE

Path to 7-Zip executable

If 7Zip_FOUND is TRUE, it will also define the following imported target:
7Zip::7Zip

Path to 7-Zip executable

NOTE:

It will see to only find the original 7-Zip, not one of the p7zip forks.

Since 5.113.0.

Find7z
Try to find 7z.

If the 7z executable is not in your PATH, you can provide an alternative name or full path location with the 7z_EXECUTABLE variable.

This will define the following variables:
7z_FOUND

TRUE if 7z is available

7z_EXECUTABLE

Path to 7z executable

If 7z_FOUND is TRUE, it will also define the following imported target:

7z::7z

Path to 7z executable

NOTE:

Only works on Windows.

Deprecated: since 5.113, use Find7Zip.

Since 5.85.0.

FindCanberra
Try to find Canberra event sound library.

This will define the following variables:

Canberra_VERSION

The version of Canberra

Canberra_LIBRARIES

The libraries of Canberra for use with target_link_libraries()

Canberra_INCLUDE_DIRS

The include dirs of Canberra for use with target_include_directories()

If Canberra_FOUND is TRUE, it will also define the following imported target:

The Canberra library

In general we recommend using the imported target, as it is easier to use. Bear in mind, however, that if the target is in the link interface of an exported library, it must be made available by the package config file.

Since 5.56.0.

FindEGL
Try to find EGL.

This will define the following variables:
EGL_FOUND

True if (the requested version of) EGL is available

EGL_VERSION

The version of EGL; note that this is the API version defined in the headers, rather than the version of the implementation (eg: Mesa)

EGL_LIBRARIES

This can be passed to target_link_libraries() instead of the EGL::EGL target

EGL_INCLUDE_DIRS

This should be passed to target_include_directories() if the target is not used for linking

EGL_DEFINITIONS

This should be passed to target_compile_options() if the target is not used for linking

If EGL_FOUND is TRUE, it will also define the following imported target:

Gperf_EXECUTABLE

The gperf executable.

Gperf_VERSION

The gperf version. (since 5.85)

If Gperf_FOUND is TRUE, it will also define the following imported target:
GPerf::Gperf

The gperf executable.

and the following public function:

ecm_gperf_generate(<GperfInput> <OutputFile> <OutputVariable(|target (since 5.83))>
[GENERATION_FLAGS <flags>])

Run gperf on <GperfInput> to generate <OutputFile>, adding it to the <OutputVariable> variable which contains the source for the target where <OutputFile> is going to be built or, since KF 5.83, if the given argument is a target, to the list of private sources of that target. The target must not be an alias. The optional GENERATION_FLAGS argument is needed to pass extra parameters to gperf (note you cannot override that way the output file).

A simple invocation would be:

ecm_gperf_generate(simple.gperf ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/simple.h MySources)

Since 5.35.0.

Inotify_INCLUDE_DIRS

This has to be passed to target_include_directories()

On Linux and SunOS, the libraries and include directories are empty, even though Inotify_FOUND may be set to TRUE. This is because no special includes or libraries are needed. On other systems these may be needed to use inotify.

This will use the package config files provided by the individual frameworks. For example, if you wish to find KArchive, which presents itself to CMake as KF5Archive (ie: you would do find_package(KF5Archive) to find it directly), you can do

find_package(KF5 COMPONENTS Archive)
