4 # VAR - the name of the variable
5 # VARIABLE - variable to store the result
7 # This macro is only for C variables.

10 # modify the way the check is run:
12 # CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS = string of compile command line flags
13 # CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS = list of macros to define (-DFOO=bar)
14 # CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES = list of libraries to link
