* find_package: Use PackageName_ROOT variables as search prefixesBrad King2018-03-161-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This feature was originally added by commit v3.9.0-rc1~71^2~2 (find_*: Add a new PackageRoot search path group, 2017-05-03) and documented by commit v3.9.0-rc1~71^2 (find_*: Add docs for PackageRoot search path group, 2017-05-03). However, we had to disable the feature and remove the documentation in commit v3.9.1~2^2 (find_*: Disable the PACKAGE_ROOT search path group for CMake 3.9, 2017-08-08) due to breaking projects that used `PackageName_ROOT` variables themselves. Add policy `CMP0074` to restore the `PackageName_ROOT` variable behavior in a compatible way. Also revise the stack of root paths to store the paths themselves rather than the package names. This way the policy can be considered at the `find_package` call site instead of individual `find_` calls inside a find module. Co-Author: Chuck Atkins <chuck.atkins@kitware.com> Issue: #17144
* find_*: Disable the PACKAGE_ROOT search path group for CMake 3.9Brad King2017-08-081-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Disable the feature added by commit v3.9.0-rc1~71^2~2 (find_*: Add a new PackageRoot search path group, 2017-05-03) and remove documentation added by commit v3.9.0-rc1~71^2 (find_*: Add docs for PackageRoot search path group, 2017-05-03). Unfortunately the name `<pkg>_ROOT` may already be set by projects for their own incompatible purposes. Disable the behavior change for now to fix the regression for CMake 3.9. We can restore it later with a policy. In order to keep the implementation and tests working, add an undocumented variable we can use in the tests to enable the behavior before the policy is introduced. Fixes: #17144

* find_program: Optionally consider all names in each directoryBrad King2015-09-021-1/+6
| | | | | | | When more than one value is given to the NAMES option this command by default will consider one name at a time and search every directory for it. Add a NAMES_PER_DIR option to tell this command to consider one directory at a time and search for all names in it.
* Help: Improve documentation formatting of find_* commandsBrad King2015-06-081-6/+9
| | | | | Use inline reStructuredText markup and add cross-references in more places.
* Help: Document the CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH* variables.Stephen Kelly2013-11-271-1/+1
| | | | | Add a replacement template for the variables, and link to them from the documentation for the find_* commands.
* Help: Factor out find_* command duplicationBrad King2013-10-161-143/+17
| | | | | | | These documents were represented in the builtin documentation using a common starting point with placeholders substituted by each command. Convert them back to this approach using the reStructuredText include directive and substitutions to avoid duplication.

Run the convert-help.bash script to convert documentation: ./convert-help.bash "/path/to/CMake-build/bin" Then remove it.
