Well, maybe "ForwardsCompatibility" doesn't make the intent as clear as I thought. The actual intent is for different CMake behaviors to exist side-by-side. Default behavior is whatever CMake currently does; usually pretty conservative in the interest of backwards compatibility. But the user could select a behavior like set_properties(GLOBAL PROPERTIES CMAKE_REQUIRE_BOOL TRUE). That could be available in CMake 2.6.1, for instance. "Parse it like 2.6.1" doesn't mean anything; it could be the default parsing or the CMAKE_REQUIRE_BOOL parsing. You'd need to have an option like CMAKE_REQUIRE_BOOL being used for a long time. You couldn't make it the default until CMake 2.8.0 or 2.10.0 or some such, after lots of people have voted with their feet and the old behavior is clearly legacy. > Hint: there's already the > cmake_minimum_required command (at least in cmake-cvs, that is)... cmake_minimum_required has been around for awhile now. It does not solve the problem. Cheers, Brandon Van Every _______________________________________________ CMake mailing list [email protected] http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
