That doesn't work at all, come to think of it. I suspect your best bet is to handle the caching yourself (likely using a file in ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR} and maybe "include(... OPTIONAL)"). That should allow whatever behaviour you want. I note that llvm's builds have the same sort of problem, so whatever fix is required isn't obvious even to obviously bright people. (That is, when the version switched from 4.0.0 to 5.0.0 my builds didn't change their version number. I had to remove the build directory and build again from clean.) -- 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.
