I would like a MESSAGE(WARNING ...) feature. This would pop up a dialog box in CMakeSetup, or readily appear in a display on CCMake, but it wouldn't skip the generation. It would get the user's attention that there's something not quite right about what's going to happen with the build, but that it's not a dealbreaker. For instance, I need Chicken 2.310 to generate .exports files, but if the available Chicken is too low, I can still do the build. There just won't be any .exports files. The user should know this because it's important, and there's something they can do about it. Namely, obtain a higher Chicken or compile it a 2nd time.

On the command line, a WARNING would display the same as a STATUS. The problem is with the CMakeSetup and CCMake front ends. There's no good way to communicate information except by SEND_ERROR.


Cheers,
Brandon Van Every
