[CMake] find_package REQUIRED

[Alexander Bubnov]

Hello!
I am exploring cmake features. Now I have stopped at find_package,
REQUIRED parameter. As I can see from manual:

"The REQUIRED option stops processing with an
 error  message  if  the  package cannot be found."
(cmake 2.6-patch 0)

My CMakeLists.txt looks like:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.6)

project (TRIAL)

FIND_PACKAGE(XMLRPC REQUIRED)
if ( NOT XMLRPC_FOUND )
    message("The process is not interrupted!")
endif ( NOT XMLRPC_FOUND )


the output:
cmake/CMakeExample> rm CMakeCache.txt ; cmake .

/usr/local/share/cmake-2.6/Modules/FindXMLRPC.cmake looks like:
...

# Report the results.
IF(NOT XMLRPC_FOUND)
  SET(XMLRPC_DIR_MESSAGE
    "XMLRPC was not found. Make sure the entries XMLRPC_* are set.")
  IF(NOT XMLRPC_FIND_QUIETLY)
    MESSAGE(STATUS "${XMLRPC_DIR_MESSAGE}")
  ELSE(NOT XMLRPC_FIND_QUIETLY)
    IF(XMLRPC_FIND_REQUIRED)
      MESSAGE(FATAL_ERROR "${XMLRPC_DIR_MESSAGE}")
    ENDIF(XMLRPC_FIND_REQUIRED)
  ENDIF(NOT XMLRPC_FIND_QUIETLY)
ENDIF(NOT XMLRPC_FOUND)

...

in order to interrupt the process XMLRPC_FIND_QUIETLY should be set by
hand at my CMakeLists.txt.

I guess it is not a bug because almost all (or all) Find*.cmak files,
which I sow, do not interrupt the process. So, can you please find an
answer how I should use find_package to stop script in case of a
component is not found?


Thanks for you greate works under cmake tool.
