One alternative that comes into my mind would be to invoke cmake like

cmake -C initialCache.cmake
where initialCache.cmake is a script that preloads a set of cache variables, i.e., with entries like
set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER icpc CACHE STRING "CXX compiler." FORCE)

Would this accomplish what you want?


Thank you for the solution! I think that would accomplish what I am going for in most cases. The only problem I see with that approach (and it's a small problem that I'm willing to deal with) is the difference in build procedure between cross-compiling and non cross-compiling environments. Actually, will the initial cache work properly with cross-compiling if I set CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE in the initial cache file? If that will work, then I think this solution will work just fine for our needs.

Thanks again,

no definitive answer..
    So, I'll try to raise this issue from a different angle, perhaps
this will make more sense to the developers.
    Take a look at this line:

    cmake \
       -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=icpc \
       -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=icc \
       -DCMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER=ifort \
       -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELWITHDEBINFO='-O2 -g -debug
    inline-debug-info'  \
       -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS_RELWITHDEBINFO='-O2 -g -debug inline-debug-info'  \
       -DCMAKE_Fortran_FLAGS_RELWITHDEBINFO='-O2 -g -debug
    inline-debug-info'  \
       -DBLA_VENDOR=Intel \
       -DBLA_BLA \
       /path/to/source

    Now, the thing I want to emphasize about this "configuration" line
    is that the settings are not specific to a given project. It just
    "activates" a custom compiler suite. Another perfectly reasonable
    scenario is further refinements made for specific platforms.
    And, really, compilation being cross or native is an orthogonal
issue here. The earlier dialog was:

    So, now my question is, how can I reduce the above cmake configure
    line muddied with plethora of compiler (and/or platform) specific
    definitions (or preceding environment variables for that matter) into:

    cmake
    -DCMAKE_OK_NOT_TOOLCHAIN_BUT_WHAT_FILE=site/macros/intel.cmake
    /path/to/source

?
