 May we use it? Or is it not intended for users to use it?

Just bumping this thread up, but I think this is a valid question.
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX_INITIALIZED_TO_DEFAULT is not only widely
used in projects, but also used in the semi(?)-officially solution 
to setting an install prefix without overwriting user-choices.

If it's internal and we should not use it, quite a number of 
projects will have to be changed...

Cheers,
  Johannes

It is internal. But we are aware that many projects are using it. It
is unlikely to change. It would probably be a good idea to document it
officially, even though it's internal...

[CMake] Documentation for CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX_INITIALIZED_TO_DEFAULT missing?

2011-03-07 Thread Johannes Zarl
Hi,

I just wanted to read the documentation on 
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX_INITIALIZED_TO_DEFAULT, but discovered
that the variable is not listed in the cmake docs.

Is there a reason for this? Should I open a bugreport on it?

Cheers,
  Johannes

It's an internal variable.

No.
