FindIconv — CMake 3.28.3 Documentation

# FindIconv

New in version 3.11.

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

The following variables are provided to indicate iconv support:

Iconv_FOUND

  Variable indicating if the iconv support was found.

Iconv_INCLUDE_DIRS

  The directories containing the iconv headers.

Iconv_LIBRARIES

  The iconv libraries to be linked.

Iconv_VERSION

  New in version 3.21.

  The version of iconv found (x.y)

Iconv_VERSION_MAJOR

  New in version 3.21.

  The major version of iconv

Iconv_VERSION_MINOR

  New in version 3.21.

  The minor version of iconv

Iconv_IS_BUILT_IN

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

Additionally, the following `IMPORTED` target is being provided:

Iconv::Iconv

  Imported target for using iconv.

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.

Note

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