FindMsys

Added in version 3.21.

Finds MSYS, a POSIX-compatible environment that runs natively on Microsoft Windows.

Note

This module is primarily intended for use in other Find Modules to help locate programs when using the find_*() commands, such as find_program(). In most cases, direct use of those commands is sufficient. Use this module only if a specific program is known to be installed via MSYS and is usable from Windows.

Result Variables

This module defines the following variables:

MSYS_INSTALL_PATH

The path to the MSYS root installation directory.

Examples

Finding the MSYS installation and using its path in a custom find module:

FindFoo.cmake

find_package(Msys)
find_program(Foo_EXECUTABLE NAMES foo PATHS ${MSYS_INSTALL_PATH}/usr/bin)

include(FindPackageHandleStandardArgs)
find_package_handle_standard_args(Foo REQUIRED_VARS Foo_EXECUTABLE)
