That's a very good idea. May be adding a DEPENDS option to SET would be nice. SET(MYLIB "${MY_PATH_TO_TOOL}/whatever/lib" DEPENDS MY_PATH_TO_TOOL) then MYLIB is explicitely linked with MY_PATH_TO_TOOL such that if MY_PATH_TO_TOOL is reset or change CMake knows MYLIB should be deleted from cache or unset. Note that somehow "direct" dependency like that may even be added by CMake automatically since "${MY_PATH_TO_TOOL}/whatever/lib" does contains a ${MY_PATH_TO_TOOL} expansion. -- Erk _______________________________________________ CMake mailing list CMake@cmake.org http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
