In the command line synopsis there's -D<var>=<value> While in the option description we read: -D <var>:<type>=<value> The two entries differ by a space between -D and the variable definition, and by the presence/absence of :<type>. Does the space make any difference? What is the difference between specifying or not the type? Is it cached in any case? Is it shown in the gui afterwards? ====================================================================== Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 2015-05-20 04:56 Claudio CaraffiNew Issue ====================================================================== -- 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.
