cmaize.user_api/dependencies/find_dependency.cmaize_find_dependency(_cfd_name)

Wraps finding a dependency that CMaize can not build.

There are some dependencies which are not easily built, or whose build process takes a long time (and thus should be pre-installed). Such dependencies are still needed in build systems, but the build system will not be able to build them if they are not already installed. This function wraps the process of looking for a dependency and aborting the build if an already installed variant of the dependency can not be located.

Parameters:

• name (desc) – The name of the dependency we are looking for.

• **kwargs –

  Keyword arguments describing the behavior of the search. See the documentation for _fob_parse_arguments for a complete list.

Raises:

UNKNOWN_PM – When pm_name does not correspond to a known package manager. Strong throw guarantee.
