[CMake] find_library and mac os x SDKs

[Simmons, Aaron]

Actually, it's a framework.  The docs say find_library will work with frameworks (which are also folders). E.g., find_library(carbon Carbon) will work.

find_library finds a library. MacOSX10.4u is a directory, not a library.
You just want:
if(EXISTS "/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u")

When compiled on Mac OS X, my project links against the 10.4 SDK.  This SDK is often not installed by default on newer systems (10.6, for example).  I would like to put in a check for whether the SDK is present before compiling (otherwise the developer gets all kinds of hard-to-understand compile errors).

I'm trying to use find_library like this:
      find_library(sdk MacOSX10.4u PATHS /Developer/SDKs)
      message("sdk= ${sdk}")
but the result is
      sdk= sdk-NOTFOUND
even on a system where the 10.4 sdk is present.

What am I missing?


Thanks,
