I've already searched for a feature like this but was not able to find it. Then i've looked up in the cmake-gui source code but couldn't find anything related.
What I'm looking for: If cmake is used directly from the command line, it's possible to pass a bunch of options ( http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v2.8.12/cmake.html#section_Options). This is nice because with this it's possible to use default settings - even if the cache get deleted. I'm actually really interested in this because it would be possible to set the CMAKE_MODULE_PATH variable via batch file - which is neat for custom find modules in custom locations. My Request: I would like to see a feature which makes it possible to pass command line options to cmake-gui which get forwarded to cmake when it gets called. To make this work the cmake-gui could look for parameters which look like "forward-*" (where the * is a cmake option name) and pass it to cmake. Are there any counter-arguments against this? In my opinion it would make things much cleaner.
