+1 I like the idea of the ["Apply Command Line Parameters" button appear whenever -Dvar=value parameters were passed.]
Would also be nice if parameter like "-G" ... could also be considered for the first configuration. Within some of our project, I envision user downloading a "bat" script named "BuildMyProjectWithVS2008.bat" that would pass all the expected option to cmake-gui. Aware the same could be done directly with cmake or ccmake .. but visual studio user often expects UI with buttons On Wed, Nov 6, 2013 at 3:33 PM, Brad King <brad.k...@kitware.com> wrote: > On 11/06/2013 02:55 PM, physhh . wrote: > > How should we proceed?
