Agreed same here. CMake 2.6.4 on Linux. I should add that on my side ONLY ccmake and make edit_cache do unconditionnally modify the cache. cmake-gui does NOT do that, Dominik can you confirm that your cmake-gui does modify the cache? The modification seems to concern, this var: //Advanced flag for variable: CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL-ADVANCED:INTERNAL=1 "ccmake" and "make edit_cache" do suppress this var unconditionnally and rewrite the CMakeCache.txt > Is it possible that in your CMake code you unconditionally modify (e.g. > re-create) a central header file, such as config.h?

That may be the reason but I think Dominik is right the unconditionnal modification of the CMakeCache.txt is not an expected behavior and deserve a bug report. Dominik would you like to file the bug report? http://public.kitware.com/Bug/main_page.php In the meantime, I think cmake-gui seems to be more CMakeCache.txt friendly -- Erk Membre de l'April - « promouvoir et défendre le logiciel libre » - http://www.april.org _______________________________________________ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
