I assumed (without testing, admittedly) is that it would fail if someone used -D to set the value, then changed some CMakeLists.txt file, then executed the build command again. I'd expect that to rerun cmake to update the build files and I'd fear that you'd then get BUILD_VERSION from the CMakeLists.txt file rather than the value explicitly set. However, I haven't tried it, and maybe it works fine (with the generators you care about) even without caching? -- 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.
