<p>Check if a language can be enabled</p>
<p>Usage:</p>
<div class="highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">check_language</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="o">&lt;</span><span class="n">lang</span><span class="o">&gt;</span><span class="p">)</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>where &lt;lang&gt; is a language that may be passed to enable_language()
such as &#8220;Fortran&#8221;. If CMAKE_&lt;lang&gt;_COMPILER is already defined the
check does nothing. Otherwise it tries enabling the language in a
test project. The result is cached in CMAKE_&lt;lang&gt;_COMPILER as the
compiler that was found, or NOTFOUND if the language cannot be
enabled.</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<div class="highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">check_language</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">Fortran</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="k">if</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">CMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="n">enable_language</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">Fortran</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="k">else</span><span class="p">()</span>
<span class="n">message</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">STATUS</span> <span class="s2">&quot;No Fortran support&quot;</span><span class="p">)</span>
