Created attachment 68503 [details] Use find_tool instead of find_package. Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.6.5) OS: Linux When Automoc4Config.cmake tries to locate the automoc4 binary it can fail when cross-compiling. Cmake has/is-going-to introduce a new function which should solve this problem: http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=11583 The output when finding automoc4 would be: Found Automoc4: AUTOMOC4_EXECUTABLE-NOTFOUND as noted in this related cmake bug: http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=8034 I have attached a patch for this, but it relies on a cmake with the find_tool function. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: My case is quite different from that of the cmake bugs, but related. When building anything using Automoc4Config.cmake on Exherbo the located bin becomes "AUTOMOC4_EXECUTABLE-NOTFOUND". Actual Results: AUTOMOC4_EXECUTABLE-NOTFOUND Expected Results: /usr/bin/automoc4
I find it unlikely that the current approach will be accepted, as we currently support 2.6.something and beyond, so using find_tool is not possible. I suggest posting your cross-compilations problems to the kde-buildsystem mailing list in case people can think of other ideas.
Adding something like find_tool() to cmake is currently not planned, it currently is "only" an entry in the bug tracker. I would actually prefer if the cross compiling support in cmake would get some real work done, it can need some, the requirements have changed since summer 2007.
