This thread has covered use cases in which it makes sense to apply (or not apply) command-line parameters in cmake-gui for various cases. No one automatic behavior is going to satisfy everyone. Nobody picked up on Matthew's suggestion here: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.programming.tools.cmake.devel/8553/focus=8553 which was: On 11/05/2013 02:56 PM, Matthew Woehlke wrote: > What about having an option (e.g. a combo box) when to apply command > line options? > > - At startup (only initial / specified on command line build directory) > - New projects (when no CMakeCache.txt exists yet, but also at startup) > - Unconfigured projects (per my original proposal) > - Always (i.e. when selecting a different build directory) > > The default could be 'new projects' if no build directory is specified > on the command line (probably you are giving "common" rather than > project specific options in this case), otherwise 'at startup' (more > chance options are project specific). Another approach is to have an "Apply Command Line Parameters" button appear whenever -Dvar=value parameters were passed. This will allow users to put their command-line options into effect at any time without changing any settings. The button should not pay attention to command-line options that set the source/build trees. If that is not sufficient then Matthew's proposed combo box can be used to select when command-line parameters are applied automatically. -Brad -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
