Let CMake be more strict?

Closed this issue · 1 comments

the cmake build script I wrote has all the backends enabled, but still works if the dependencies for the backends are missing. A backend can be disabled with the -DDISABLE_<BACKEND>=Yes configuration flag.

I don't like this fallback behavior. I'd rather have -DWITH_ALSA=Yes and fail with an error if alsa was not found. Per default I would enable all the backends and let the user disable them one by one and have the user have an active decision.

@quiniouben how does the autotools build system handle missing dependencies? With fallback or strict?

It is strict, and I would also prefer that cmake behaves so.
