✗ Old path cython-cmake/cmake/FindCython.cmake

Since v0.2.0, CMake modules are vendored and paths changed. Use FetchContent to download and include.

Create a CMakeLists.txt with FetchContent to download cython-cmake and use its CMake modules.

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.14) project(MyProject) include(FetchContent) FetchContent_Declare( cython-cmake GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/scikit-build/cython-cmake.git GIT_TAG v0.2.2 ) FetchContent_MakeAvailable(cython-cmake) list(APPEND CMAKE_MODULE_PATH ${cython-cmake_SOURCE_DIR}/cmake) find_package(Cython REQUIRED) # Now use add_cython_target() etc.

Debug

Known issues

breakingv0.2.0 renamed CMake targets and variables. Old FindCython.cmake targets (Cython::cython, Cython::cythonize) changed to Cython::Cython and Cython::Cythonize.

fix

Update CMake code to reference Cython::Cython and Cython::Cythonize instead of old names.

affects: <0.2.0

breakingv0.2.0 changed how to include CMake modules. Previously modules were installed site-wide; now they must be fetched via FetchContent or vendored.

fix

Use FetchContent to download cython-cmake and append its cmake directory to CMAKE_MODULE_PATH.

affects: <0.2.0

gotchaRequires Cython to be installed. If Cython is not present, find_package(Cython) will fail. Install Cython via pip or conda.

fix

pip install cython or conda install cython before running cmake.

affects: all

gotchaVERSION_VAR in FindCython.cmake was broken in v0.2.1 and fixed in v0.2.2. If you specify a version, upgrade to v0.2.2.

fix

Upgrade to cython-cmake>=0.2.2.

affects: 0.2.1
