# FindIce

Find the ZeroC Internet Communication Engine (ICE) programs, libraries and datafiles.

This module supports multiple components. Components can include any of: `Freeze`, `Glacier2`, `Ice`, `IceBox`, `IceDB`, `IceGrid`, `IcePatch`, `IceSSL`, `IceStorm`, `IceUtil`, `IceXML`, or `Slice`.

This module reports information about the Ice installation in several variables. General variables:

    Ice_VERSION - Ice release version
    Ice_FOUND - true if the main programs and libraries were found
    Ice_LIBRARIES - component libraries to be linked
    Ice_INCLUDE_DIRS - the directories containing the Ice headers
    Ice_SLICE_DIRS - the directories containing the Ice slice interface
                     definitions

Imported targets:

    Ice::<C>

Where `<C>` is the name of an Ice component, for example `Ice::Glacier2`.

Ice slice programs are reported in:

    Ice_SLICE2CPP_EXECUTABLE - path to slice2cpp executable

    Ice_ICEBOX_EXECUTABLE - path to icebox executable
    Ice_ICEBOXADMIN_EXECUTABLE - path to iceboxadmin executable
    Ice_ICEBOXD_EXECUTABLE - path to iceboxd executable
    Ice_ICEBOXNET_EXECUTABLE - path to iceboxnet executable
    Ice_ICEGRIDADMIN_EXECUTABLE - path to icegridadmin executable
    Ice_ICEGRIDNODE_EXECUTABLE - path to icegridnode executable
    Ice_ICEGRIDNODED_EXECUTABLE - path to icegridnoded executable
    Ice_ICEGRIDREGISTRY_EXECUTABLE - path to icegridregistry executable
    Ice_ICEGRIDREGISTRYD_EXECUTABLE - path to icegridregistryd executable
    Ice_ICEPATCH2CALC_EXECUTABLE - path to icepatch2calc executable
    Ice_ICEPATCH2CLIENT_EXECUTABLE - path to icepatch2client executable
    Ice_ICEPATCH2SERVER_EXECUTABLE - path to icepatch2server executable
    Ice_ICESERVICEINSTALL_EXECUTABLE - path to iceserviceinstall executable
    Ice_ICESTORMADMIN_EXECUTABLE - path to icestormadmin executable
    Ice_ICESTORMMIGRATE_EXECUTABLE - path to icestormmigrate executable

Ice db programs (Windows only; standard system versions on all other platforms) are reported in:

    Ice_DB_ARCHIVE_EXECUTABLE - path to db_archive executable
    Ice_DB_CHECKPOINT_EXECUTABLE - path to db_checkpoint executable
    Ice_DB_DEADLOCK_EXECUTABLE - path to db_deadlock executable
    Ice_DB_DUMP_EXECUTABLE - path to db_dump executable
    Ice_DB_HOTBACKUP_EXECUTABLE - path to db_hotbackup executable
    Ice_DB_LOAD_EXECUTABLE - path to db_load executable
    Ice_DB_LOG_VERIFY_EXECUTABLE - path to db_log_verify executable
    Ice_DB_PRINTLOG_EXECUTABLE - path to db_printlog executable
    Ice_DB_RECOVER_EXECUTABLE - path to db_recover executable
    Ice_DB_STAT_EXECUTABLE - path to db_stat executable
    Ice_DB_TUNER_EXECUTABLE - path to db_tuner executable
    Ice_DB_UPGRADE_EXECUTABLE - path to db_upgrade executable
    Ice_DB_VERIFY_EXECUTABLE - path to db_verify executable
    Ice_DUMPDB_EXECUTABLE - path to dumpdb executable
    Ice_TRANSFORMDB_EXECUTABLE - path to transformdb executable

Ice component libraries are reported in:

    Ice_<C>_FOUND - ON if component was found
    Ice_<C>_LIBRARIES - libraries for component

Note that `<C>` is the uppercased name of the component.

This module reads hints about search results from:

    Ice_HOME - the root of the Ice installation

The environment variable `ICE_HOME` may also be used; the Ice_HOME variable takes precedence.

The following cache variables may also be set:

    Ice_<P>_EXECUTABLE - the path to executable <P>
    Ice_INCLUDE_DIR - the directory containing the Ice headers
    Ice_SLICE_DIR - the directory containing the Ice slice interface
                    definitions
    Ice_<C>_LIBRARY - the library for component <C>

Note

In most cases none of the above variables will require setting, unless multiple Ice versions are available and a specific version is required. On Windows, the most recent version of Ice will be found through the registry. On Unix, the programs, headers and libraries will usually be in standard locations, but Ice_SLICE_DIRS might not be automatically detected (commonly known locations are searched). All the other variables are defaulted using Ice_HOME, if set. It’s possible to set Ice_HOME and selectively specify alternative locations for the other components; this might be required for e.g. newer versions of Visual Studio if the heuristics are not sufficient to identify the correct programs and libraries for the specific Visual Studio version.

Other variables one may set to control this module are:

    Ice_DEBUG - Set to ON to enable debug output from FindIce.
