Bug 307051 – [CMake] Avoid confusing message about Ruby not being found

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: CMake

[Adrian Perez]

When CMake searches for Ruby, typically it can happen that it is reported as not found:

-- The CMake build type is: Release
-- Could NOT find Ruby (missing: Ruby_INCLUDE_DIR Ruby_LIBRARY Ruby_CONFIG_INCLUDE_DIR) (found suitable version "3.2.3", minimum required is "2.5")
-- Enabling ccache: Setting ccache prefix for compiler.

But then only the Ruby executable is needed, as per the comment in WebKitCommon.cmake:

    # We cannot check for RUBY_FOUND because it is set only when the full package is installed and
    # the only thing we need is the interpreter. Unlike Python, cmake does not provide a macro
    # for finding only the Ruby interpreter.

We could improve this by passing the QUIET flag to find_package() and print the message ourselves after checking the version.
