CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_SORT_ORDER

Добавлено в версии 3.7.

Изменено в версии 4.2: The default sort order has changed from NONE to NATURAL.

The default order for sorting directories which match a search path containing a glob expression found using find_package(). It can assume one of the following values:

NONE

No attempt is done to sort directories. The first valid package found will be selected.

NAME

Sort directories lexicographically before searching.

NATURAL

Default. Sort directories using natural order (see strverscmp(3) manual), i.e. such that contiguous digits are compared as whole numbers.

Natural sorting is employed by default to return the highest version when multiple versions of the same library are available to be found by find_package(). For example suppose that the following libraries have package configuration files on disk, in a directory of the same name, with all such directories residing in the same parent directory:

• libX-1.1.0

• libX-1.2.9

• libX-1.2.10

The default order of NATURAL will select the one with the highest version number, i.e. libX-1.2.10.

The sort direction can be controlled using the CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_SORT_DIRECTION variable (by default descending, i.e. libX-1.2 will be tested before libX-1.0 and lib-B will be tested before lib-A).
