I think I perfectly understand your point but I would say that adding "pre-parsing" phase where The main CMakeLists.txt "pre-parsed" in order to list the OPTION and their desc statement would indeed be feasible cmake -p would show INCONDITIONAL OPTION cmake -p -v may show ALL OPTION flagging those which may not be "resolved" without running CMake. I don't ask you (or Kitware) to do it since I personally don't NEED the feature. However, I wanted to note that it seems "possible". This may be an unwanted feature though if we wants CMake users to be fully "aware" of the CMake way of run you've described. -- Erk _______________________________________________ CMake mailing list CMake@cmake.org http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
