Hi Petr,
thank you very much for your answer! Indeed, comment string arguments seem to be mandatory. I modified my configuration file like this: set(ENABLE_DOWNLOAD True CACHE BOOL "Automatic installation of third-party libraries") set(GCC_ROOT "/local/cdoucet/gcc/4.9.2/" CACHE PATH "Root of GCC") Now, I get the following error message: CMake Error: The source directory "/local/cdoucet/simol/config.cmake" is a file, not a directory. I am quite surprised about this message because I thought a file was required to the command 'cmake -C'. Do you have any idea of what I am doing wrong here? ----- Petr Kmoch <petr.km...@gmail.com> a écrit : >Hi Cedric. I believe the comment string argument is mandatory in a set(... CACHE), so it should be something like this: set(ENABLE_DOWNLOAD True CACHE BOOL "Should download be enabled") set(GCC_ROOT "/local/cdoucet/gcc/4.9.2/" CACHE PATH "Path to root directory of GCC installation") Petr On Thu, Jan 21, 2016 at 3:43 PM, Cedric Doucet <cedric.dou...@inria.fr> wrote: Hello, I do not manage to pass a configuration file to cmake.

Hi Cedric. I have never used it myself, but I believe you're looking for CMake's command-line option '-C <initial-cache>': https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/manual/cmake.1.html Petr On Mon, Dec 21, 2015 at 1:12 PM, Cedric Doucet <cedric.dou...@inria.fr> wrote: Hello, I would like to know if it's possible to pass a configuration file to CMake.I have to pass a lot of information to CMake and the resulting command line is very long to type.Would it be possible to create a file containing all needed definitions and pass it to CMake? For exemple, instead of typing cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/me/there -D CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/usr/local/gcc/4.9.3/g++ would it be possible to create a file containing CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=DebugCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/me/thereCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/usr/local/gcc/4.9.3/g++ and pass it to CMake?
