Re: [CMake] how to ignore errors/keep going using cmake
This depends on the projects use of message in the CMakeLists.txt files. If a project call to message uses FATAL_ERROR it stops immediately and returns an error. If they use SEND_ERROR it continues processing and returns an error when it is done configuring. In either case, it will not generate new makefiles. Since this distinction is made at the project's discretion based on the particular error that is occurring, we do not provide a continue on error option. We already automatically continue on error if SEND_ERROR is used. But if there's a FATAL_ERROR, you must correct it and then re-configure to get past that.

I am not sure, but you may be confusing cmake with make. At least for the default Unix Makefiles generator on Linux systems, cmake configures a bunch of (GNU) Makefiles. You then run those with the ordinary make command where you have access to the ordinary make -k option. My experience is cmake often tries to continue after an error occurs, but almost always it is that first error (say caused by some screwup in a CMakeLists.txt file) that is the most important one so ordinarily I ignored the attempt to continue if it occurs.
