FindIconv

Added in version 3.11.

This module finds the iconv() POSIX.1 functions on the system. These functions might be provided in the standard C library or externally in the form of an additional library.

Imported Targets

This module provides the following Imported Targets:

Iconv::Iconv

Target encapsulating the iconv usage requirements, available only if iconv is found.

Result Variables

This module defines the following variables:

Iconv_FOUND

Boolean indicating if the iconv support was found.

Iconv_INCLUDE_DIRS

The include directories containing the iconv headers.

Iconv_LIBRARIES

The iconv libraries to be linked.

Iconv_VERSION

Added in version 3.21.

The version of iconv found (x.y).

Note

Some libiconv implementations don't embed the version in their header files. In this case the variables Iconv_VERSION* will be empty.

Iconv_VERSION_MAJOR

Added in version 3.21.

The major version of iconv.

Iconv_VERSION_MINOR

Added in version 3.21.

The minor version of iconv.

Iconv_IS_BUILT_IN

A boolean variable indicating whether iconv support is stemming from the C standard library or not. Even if the C library provides iconv(), the presence of an external libiconv implementation might lead to this being false.

Cache Variables

The following cache variables may also be set:

Iconv_INCLUDE_DIR

The directory containing the iconv headers.

Iconv_LIBRARY

The iconv library (if not implicitly given in the C library).

Note

On POSIX platforms, iconv might be part of the C library and the cache variables Iconv_INCLUDE_DIR and Iconv_LIBRARY might be empty.

Examples

Finding iconv and linking it to a project target:

find_package(Iconv)
target_link_libraries(project_target PRIVATE Iconv::Iconv)
