# CheckVariableExists
# -------------------
#
# Check if the variable exists.
#
# ::
#
# CHECK_VARIABLE_EXISTS(VAR VARIABLE)
#
#
#
# ::
#
# VAR - the name of the variable
# VARIABLE - variable to store the result
# Will be created as an internal cache variable.
#
#
# This macro is only for C variables.
#
# The following variables may be set before calling this macro to modify
# the way the check is run:
#
# ::
#
# CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS = string of compile command line flags
# CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS = list of macros to define (-DFOO=bar)
# CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES = list of libraries to link
# CMAKE_REQUIRED_QUIET = execute quietly without messages
