[CMake] [PATCHES] debian packaging

[Pierre Habouzit]

  Hi,

  I recently got involved in cmake packaging in Debian. Will follow
a couple of patches that we include in Debian's cmake.

  We also have an issue, with cmake on debian and 64 bits platforms.
Cmake on 64 bits platforms searches libraries in */lib64 whereas in
debian this is intended to be a compatibility symlink (to comply with
the FHS) but 64 bits libraries do live in */lib. Hence basically on
Debian, cmFindLibraryCommand::AddLib64Paths should just do... nothing.

  I have no patches to provide for that issue (in Debian I just put the
whole function in a #if 0, but that's clearly not acceptable for you),
I'd suggest though that if the 64bits paths are symlinks on the machine
you'd just ignore them, because it's then likely that the 64bits paths
are compability links.

  btw this means that cmake is broken wrt those paths for every
Debian-based distribution (ubuntu included).

Cheers,
