Summary

0012003: find_package fails but reports success with case in sensitive filesystems

Description

When using find_package (i.e. boost) on the mac, you can have a situation where you use (note the package case):
find_package(boost COMPONENTS thread)

And do not get a failure, because the "FindBoost.cmake" file has been run, because of the insensitivity of filename reads of the mac filesystem. However, this file expects it's variables to all be set in the form "${Boost_FIND_COMPONENTS}" - but the differently cased "${boost_FIND_COMPONENTS}" are the ones passed through.

The outcome is that the package is incorrectly configured, but no warnings or errors are reported. I would have at least expected a warning, because I can't imagine this behaviour ever being desired.

Steps To Reproduce

On Mac, CMakeList.txt:

find_package(boost 1.34 COMPONENTS thread )
message("Boost_LIBRARIES: " ${Boost_LIBRARIES})

Notes
(0030245) David Cole (manager) 2012-08-11 11:09	Sending old, never assigned issues to the backlog. (The age of the bug, plus the fact that it's never been assigned to anyone means that nobody is actively working on it...) If an issue you care about is sent to the backlog when you feel it should have been addressed in a different manner, please bring it up on the CMake mailing list for discussion. Sign up for the mailing list here, if you're not already on it: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake [^] It's easy to re-activate a bug here if you can find a CMake developer who has the bandwidth to take it on, and ferry a fix through to our 'next' branch for dashboard testing.
