Currently "-H" stands for "Home" which is an internal name within CMake's implementation and is not a name whose meaning is public-facing. * Allow the form `-H <value> -B <value>` with the new names. * Extend the test suite (e.g. RunCMake.CommandLine) with cases covering the public-facing options. -Brad -- 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.
