Make the Find modules set and return their respective `pkg-config`
module name(s) to the CMake build process, which then adds those
to the `Requires:` list.
Before this patch, `pkg-config` module names were maintainted in two
separate places. After this patch, they are maintained in the Find
modules for dependencies that have one (most do).
Re-align existing modules with this change: msh3, mbedtls, rustls.
These modules return their `pkg-config` module name only when
detected via `pkg-config`.

brotli, c-ares, libpsl, libssh2, nghttp2, nghttp3, ntgcp2, zstd.
Also:
Add workaround for CMake reporting successful libssh2 detection, but
leaving the header directory empty, and causing `libssh2.h` not found
while compiling. It happens when `pkgconf` is not detecting libssh2
dependency libcrypto in Homebrew after `brew unlink openssl` (as in
GHA/macos). The workaround is to require a non-empty header directory
to consider the detection successful. This workaround may need to be
tweaked and/or applied to other Find modules.

Extend `INSTALL-CMAKE` document with the list of available options,
a short description and default values.
The list may not be 100% complete.
There are no component boundaries in CMake, so the line is blurry
between curl options, CMake options, CMake Find modules options.
I included certain CMake options that seemed useful, and/or have
dedicated use withing curl's CMake source. But, all CMake built-in
options are usable, as documented upstream in CMake.
The naming of the options has a heritage and the inconsistencies with
it, including a lack of clear namespace. This may be subject to future
updates, also after figuring out which name has special meaning within
CMake and/or CMake projects out of unwritten convention or something
more tangible.
CMake allows to initialize any internal variable via `-D`. This may be
useful to pre-initialize/override feature check results. The list
doesn't contain these, and they remain officially undocumented.
Also:
- make adjustments to keep the spellchecker happy.
- retrofit description changes to the cmake sources.
- stop documenting deprecated `Find*` variables.

Fixes https://github.com/curl/curl/discussions/14885Closes#15388
- add `NAMES` where missing.
- document input variables (including deprecated ones.)
- comment cleanups.
- FindWolfSSL: drop stray `QUIET` from `pkg_check_modules()`.
(`QUIET` may be re-added for all modules in the future.)
Closes#14579
Prefer `pkg_check_modules()` over `pkg_search_module()`.
`pkg_check_modules()` logs a line when there is a hit, and also warnings
if a sub-dependency is missing. In `QUIET` mode, both are silent.
The extra info is useful to see if a detection happened via
`pkg-config`.
Keep `pkg_search_module()` in `FindGSS`. We pass two dependencies
there and we want to keep stopping on the first one.
Partially reverts c2889a7b41#14388Closes#14573
- use `pkg-config` version when available and where it wasn't yet used.
- add manual version detection for dependencies where this is possible
(via a public header) and where it wasn't done yet.
Closes#14548
Smoothen out minor differences between Find modules.
- brotli, nghttp2: drop redundant `FOUND_VAR` specifiers from
`find_package_handle_standard_args()` calls.
This function sets both `<NAME_UPPER>_FOUND` and `<NAME>_FOUND`
by default.
- brotli: set result vars only when found.
- brotli: add missing `mark_as_advanced()` call.
- brotli: delete custom fail message.
- mbedtls, bearssl: use `REQUIRED_VARS` instead of `DEFAULT_MSG`.
- msh3, quiche: set `<NAME>_VERSION` (via pkg-config).
- wolfssl: also use `PC_WOLFSSL_INCLUDEDIR`, `PC_WOLFSSL_LIBDIR`
as hints.
- libpsl, libssh2, zstd: clear temporary variables used for version
detection.
- gss, msh3, nghttp2, nghttp3, ngtcp2, quiche, zstd: fix to apply
`mark_as_advanced()` to internal variables only.
Closes#14538
Add option to control whether to use `pkg-config` to detect
dependencies. Curl's CMake uses `pkg-config` by default for all targets
except for MSVC without vcpkg.
With the CMake option `-DCURL_USE_PKGCONFIG=ON` you can override it to
use `pkg-config` always.
If `pkg-config` is causing issues, e.g. in cross-builds or other cases,
`-DCURL_USE_PKGCONFIG=OFF` disables all use of `pkg-config`.
Also add it to `curl-config.cmake`. Not yet used, but will be once curl
starts referencing any curl-specific `Find*` module from this public
script.
Follow-up to 9dfdc6ff42#14483Closes#14504
Before this patch, `pkg-config` was used for `UNIX` builds only (with
a few exceptions like wolfSSL, libssh, gsasl, libuv). This patch extends
`pkg-config` use to all envs except: `MSVC` without vcpkg. Meaning MSVC
with vcpkg will now use it. Also mingw on Windows.
Also apply the new condition to options where `pkg-config` was used
unconditionally (= for all targets). These are:
`-DCURL_USE_WOLFSSL=ON`, `-DCURL_USE_LIBSSH=ON`,
`-DCURL_USE_GSASL=ON` and `-DCURL_USE_LIBUV=ON`
This patch may still cause regressions for cross-builds (e.g. mingw
cross-build from Unix) and potentially other cases. If that happens, we
recommend using some of these methods to explicitly disable `pkg-config`
when using CMake:
- CMake option: `-DPKG_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE=`
(or `-DPKG_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE=nonexistent` or similar)
This is similar to the (curl-specific) `PKG_CONFIG` env for autotools.
- export env: `PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=`
(or `PKG_CONFIG_PATH`, `PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR`,
or the CMake-specific `PKG_CONFIG`)
We may improve control over this in a future patch, also allowing opting
in MSVC (without vcpkg).

- quote string literals.
In the hope it improves syntax-highlighting and readability.
- use lowercase, underscore-prefixed local var names.
As a hint for scope, to help readability.
- prefer `pkg_search_module` (over `pkg_check_modules`).
They are the same, but `pkg_search_module` stops searching
at the first hit.
- more `IN LISTS` in `foreach()`.
- OtherTests.cmake: clear `CMAKE_EXTRA_INCLUDE_FILES` after use.
- add `PROJECT_LABEL` for http/client and unit test targets.
- sync `Find*` module comments and formatting.
- drop a few local variables.
- drop bogus `CARES_LIBRARIES` from comment.
- unquote numeric literal.
Follow-up to acbc6b703f#14197Closes#14388
- also detect nghttp2 via `pkg-config` to match nghttp3 detection
and autotools.
- enable nghttp2 by default to match autotools.
Cherry-picked from #14097Closes#14136
Add the static library name, nghttp2_static as a name to search.
This provides cmake parity with the winbuild Makefile.vc allowing
the cmake build to find and allow the link to static nghttp2 library.
- they are mostly pointless in all major jurisdictions
- many big corporations and projects already don't use them
- saves us from pointless churn
- git keeps history for us
- the year range is kept in COPYING
checksrc is updated to allow non-year using copyright statements
Closes#10205
Add licensing and copyright information for all files in this repository. This
either happens in the file itself as a comment header or in the file
`.reuse/dep5`.
This commit also adds a Github workflow to check pull requests and adapts
copyright.pl to the changes.
Closes#8869
Reported by the new script 'scripts/copyright.pl'. The script has a
regex whitelist for the files that don't need copyright headers.
Removed three (mostly usesless) README files from docs/
Closes#5141
- remove check for unsupported old CMake versions
- do not link to c-ares library twice
- modernize custom Find modules
- FindLibSSH2:
- pass version to FPHSA to show it in the output
- use LIBSSH2_VERSION define to extract the version number in
one shot. This variable exists in the header for 10 years.
- remove unneeded code
- FindNGHTTP2.cmake:
- drop needless FPHSA argument
- mark found variables as advanced
- FindNSS.cmake:
- show version number
- FindCARES.cmake:
- drop default paths
- use FPHSA instead of checking things by hand
- remove needless explict variable dereference
- simplify count_true()
- allow all policies up to version 3.16 to be set to NEW
- do not rerun check for -Wstrict-aliasing=3 every time
In contrast to every other compiler flag this has a = in it, which CMake
can't have in a variable name.
- only read the interesting strings from curlver.h
