Hi ,
I am getting a problem wherein the if I add the flag say -DWITH_DATE=1
and do a cmake I get it enabled. But now if I do not use this flag and
again do cmake , it still remains DEFINED i.e. it is still present in
CMakeCache.
I do not want it to be DEFINED if I have not specified it in cmake
command line. i.e. I want the CMakeCache to be rebuilt everytime I do a
cmake.
-D sets a cache variable. I don't think regular variables can be set
from the command line.
You could replace (set() with FORCE) or remove (unset() with CACHE) the
existing cache variable from within your CMakeLists.txt every time it is
set but that will probably break what ever logic you have associated
with the variable in implicit cmake runs.
Would an environment variable be an option?
They can be accessed from within cmake with $ENV{NAME}.
I assume you would want to keep the variable value intact for implicit runs.
For that case an environment variable scoped to a configure/build
session could work?
