"Try compiling a srcfile. Return TRUE or FALSE for success or failure "
"in COMPILE_RESULT_VAR. Then if the compile succeeded, run the "
"executable and return its exit code in RUN_RESULT_VAR. "
"If the executable was built, but failed to run, then RUN_RESULT_VAR "
"will be set to FAILED_TO_RUN. "
"COMPILE_OUTPUT_VARIABLE specifies the variable where the output from "
"the compile step goes. RUN_OUTPUT_VARIABLE specifies the variable "
"where the output from the running executable goes.\n"
"For compatibility reasons OUTPUT_VARIABLE is still supported, which "
"gives you the output from the compile and run step combined.\n"
"Cross compiling issues\n"
"When cross compiling, the executable compiled in the first step "
"usually cannot be run on the build host. try_run() checks the "
"CMAKE_CROSSCOMPILING variable to detect whether CMake is in "
"crosscompiling mode. If that's the case, it will still try to compile "
"the executable, but it will not try to run the executable. Instead it "
"will create cache variables which must be filled by the user or by "
"presetting them in some CMake script file to the values the "
"executable would have produced if it would have been run on its actual "
"target platform. These variables are RUN_RESULT_VAR (explanation see "
"above) and if RUN_OUTPUT_VARIABLE (or OUTPUT_VARIABLE) was used, an "
"additional cache variable "
"RUN_RESULT_VAR__COMPILE_RESULT_VAR__TRYRUN_OUTPUT."
"This is intended to hold stdout and stderr from the executable.\n"
"In order to make cross compiling your project easier, use try_run "
"only if really required. If you use try_run, use RUN_OUTPUT_VARIABLE "
"(or OUTPUT_VARIABLE) only if really required. Using them will require "
"that when crosscompiling, the cache variables will have to be set "
"manually to the output of the executable. You can also \"guard\" the "
"calls to try_run with if(CMAKE_CROSSCOMPILING) and provide an "
"easy-to-preset alternative for this case.\n"
"Set variable CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_CONFIGURATION to choose a build "
"configuration."
