FindIconv — CMake 4.3.0 Documentation

# FindIconv

Added in version 3.11.

Finds the `iconv()` POSIX.1 functions on the system:

    find_package(Iconv [<version>] [...])

Iconv functions might be provided in the standard C library or externally in the form of an additional library.

## Imported Targets

This module provides the following Imported Targets:

`Iconv::Iconv`

  Target encapsulating the iconv usage requirements, available only if iconv is found.

## Result Variables

This module defines the following variables:

`Iconv_FOUND`

  Boolean indicating whether the (requested version of) iconv support was found.

`Iconv_VERSION`

  Added in version 3.21.

  The version of iconv found (x.y).

  Note

  Some libiconv implementations don't embed the version in their header files. In this case the variables `Iconv_VERSION*` will be empty.

`Iconv_VERSION_MAJOR`

  Added in version 3.21.

  The major version of iconv.

`Iconv_VERSION_MINOR`

  Added in version 3.21.

  The minor version of iconv.

`Iconv_INCLUDE_DIRS`

  The include directories containing the iconv headers.

`Iconv_LIBRARIES`

  The iconv libraries to be linked.

## Cache Variables

The following cache variables may also be set:

`Iconv_IS_BUILT_IN`

  A boolean variable indicating whether iconv support is stemming from the C standard library or not. Even if the C library provides `iconv()`, the presence of an external `libiconv` implementation might lead to this being false.

`Iconv_INCLUDE_DIR`

  The directory containing the iconv headers.

`Iconv_LIBRARY`

  The iconv library (if not implicitly given in the C library).

Note

On POSIX platforms, iconv might be part of the C library and the cache variables `Iconv_INCLUDE_DIR` and `Iconv_LIBRARY` might be empty.

## Examples

Finding iconv and linking it to a project target:

    find_package(Iconv)
    target_link_libraries(project_target PRIVATE Iconv::Iconv)
