Hello, I do not manage to pass a configuration file to cmake.
I type 'cmake -C ../config.cmake' where config.cmake belongs to the parent directory and contains these lines: set(ENABLE_DOWNLOAD True CACHE BOOL) set(GCC_ROOT "/local/cdoucet/gcc/4.9.2/" CACHE PATH) I get the following error message but I don't understand why: loading initial cache file ../config.cmake CMake Error at /local/cdoucet/simol/config.cmake:1 (set): set given invalid arguments for CACHE mode. CMake Error at /local/cdoucet/simol/config.cmake:2 (set): set given invalid arguments for CACHE mode. CMake Error: The source directory "/local/cdoucet/simol/config.cmake" is a file, not a directory. Do you know how to solve this problem? ----- Cedric Doucet <cedric.dou...@inria.fr> a écrit : > Hi Peter! Thank you very much!It seems to be exactly what I want. :)I will try to use it.

Hi Cedric. I have never used it myself, but I believe you're looking for CMake's command-line option '-C <initial-cache>': https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/manual/cmake.1.html Petr On Mon, Dec 21, 2015 at 1:12 PM, Cedric Doucet <cedric.dou...@inria.fr> wrote: Hello, I would like to know if it's possible to pass a configuration file to CMake.I have to pass a lot of information to CMake and the resulting command line is very long to type.Would it be possible to create a file containing all needed definitions and pass it to CMake? For exemple, instead of typing cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/me/there -D CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/usr/local/gcc/4.9.3/g++ would it be possible to create a file containing CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=DebugCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/me/thereCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/usr/local/gcc/4.9.3/g++ and pass it to CMake?
