For example when having a symlink /opt/toolchain/1.0.0/bin/cmake -> /opt/cmake/3.6.2/bin/cmake it can be used as: $ export PATH=/opt/toolchain/1.0.0/bin/:$PATH $ cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=/opt/toolchain/1.0.0/targets/t1.cmake Very nice is that then generated files do not depend on PATH, i.e. when make calls cmake, it calls the initially used cmake by using the (resolved) full path, in the example /opt/cmake/3.6.2/bin/cmake. When calling with full path: $ /opt/toolchain/1.0.0/bin/cmake \ -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=/opt/toolchain/1.0.0/targets/t2.cmake this full path is used (as it is). Also the correct ctest is executed by make test. This is just great, exactly what we need.

Yes, it definetly works, I tested with 3.0.2 and 3.6.2. My question is how it is intended to be used, what works best.

What do you think? Having multiple parallel versions of CMake in different directories works.
