Additional CMake Modules

Introduction

This is a collection of additional CMake modules. Most of them are from Ryan Pavlik (http://academic.cleardefinition.com).

How to Integrate

These modules are probably best placed wholesale into a "cmake" subdirectory of your project source.

If you use Git, try installing git-subtree, so you can easily use this repository for subtree merges, updating simply.

For the initial checkout:

cd projectdir

git subtree add --squash --prefix=cmake [email protected]:bilke/cmake-modules.git master

For updates:

cd projectdir

git subtree pull --squash --prefix=cmake [email protected]:bilke/cmake-modules.git master

For pushing to upstream:

cd projectdir

git subtree push --prefix=cmake [email protected]:bilke/cmake-modules.git master

How to Use

At the minimum, all you have to do is add a line like this near the top of your root CMakeLists.txt file (but not before your project() call):

list(APPEND CMAKE_MODULE_PATH "${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/cmake")

Licenses

The modules that are written by Ryan Pavlik are all subject to this license:

(See accompanying file LICENSE_1_0.txt or copy at http://www.boost.org/LICENSE_1_0.txt)

Modules based on those included with CMake as well as modules added by me (Lars Bilke) are under the OSI-approved BSD license, which is included in each of those modules. A few other modules are modified from other sources - when in doubt, look at the .cmake.

Important License Note!

If you find this file inside of another project, rather at the top-level directory, you're in a separate project that is making use of these modules. That separate project can (and probably does) have its own license specifics.
