Summary0009074: FindXXX.cmake files for guile, unixodbc, lua, gsl, pthreads, memcached, xerces, csockets, cxxtest, etc.
DescriptionI work on a project that has had to write a number of custom FindXXX files, and I would like to have them contributed back to the main cmake modules collection. At this time, I have files for the following:

 FindGuile.cmake FindLinkGrammar.cmake FindSTLPort.cmake
FindCSockets.cmake FindIODBC.cmake FindLua51.cmake FindUnixODBC.cmake
FindCxxtest.cmake FindLibMemCached.cmake FindLuabind.cmake FindXercesC.cmake
FindGSL.cmake FindLibUbiGraphClient.cmake FindPthreads.cmake

I can provide any/all of these files, let me know.

thanks for your effort, but which one is for CxxTest ?

The originaly submitted FindGuile.cmake file is buggy. I can't figure out how to delete it .. so instead, am attaching new version.

Hello! What is the status of this bug, and will you be adding any of these scripts to CMake?

Regarding...
FindLua51.cmake => Already is one
FindCxxTest.cmake => Already is one

The FindLua51 module looks very similar although the FindCxxTest module is different. If you have any usability problems with the existing modules as checked into CMake 2.6.4 please file new bugs.

FindPthreads.cmake => This looks familiar, considering I wrote it two years ago (lol). It never made it in since it got side-shelved owing to overlap with FindThreads.cmake. Ping this issue if interested. If you're on UNIX only just use FindThreads.cmake. The only thing FindPthreads has over FindThreads is Pthreads-Win32 support.

For your other modules if you really want to get them into CMake you'll have to find a maintainer or become one yourself and then tweak them to comply with the module writing guidelines.

See the following post for details on this process:

Thanks for your response, Philip. I can do this for some of the modules, so I guess I'll see you on the CMake mailing list.

FWIW, I'm the maintainer for link-grammar. I currently distribute
the CMakefile with link-grammar, but do not install it, as the
cmake distribution seems to be the one that wants to distribute the
file, rather than allowing me, the maintainer, to do this. (Right?
or did I misunderstand something?)

You are free to distribute the find module with link-grammar. Someone can also step forward and contribute the find module to CMake itself (see links above for details). The only (minor) advantage of doing this is all CMake users can call find_package(LinkGrammar) without downloading the find module from you and placing it in their CMAKE_MODULE_PATH.

I barely have time to maintain the modules I already have contributed to CMake. So, I have to close this bug (unfortunately) as I can't volunteer to support all of these new libraries. If you feel comfortable doing that see the links below. If not, people can always download the modules from the bugtracker.
