CheckVariableExists

Check if the variable exists.

CHECK_VARIABLE_EXISTS

CHECK_VARIABLE_EXISTS(VAR VARIABLE)

VAR      - the name of the variable
VARIABLE - variable to store the result
           Will be created as an internal cache variable.

This macro is only for C variables.

The following variables may be set before calling this macro to modify the way the check is run:

CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS

String of additional flags to pass to the compiler. The string must be space-delimited--a ;-list will not work. The contents of CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS and its associated configuration-specific variable are automatically added to the compiler command before the contents of CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS.

CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS

A ;-list of compiler definitions of the form -DFOO or -DFOO=bar. A definition for the name specified by <resultVar> will also be added automatically.

CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_OPTIONS

New in version 3.14.

A ;-list of options to add to the link command (see try_compile() for further details).

CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES

A ;-list of libraries to add to the link command. These can be the name of system libraries or they can be Imported Targets (see try_compile() for further details).

CMAKE_REQUIRED_QUIET

New in version 3.1.

If this variable evaluates to a boolean true value, all status messages associated with the check will be suppressed.
