<br></div><div>What I'm looking for:<br>
</div><div>If cmake is used directly from the command line, it's possible to pass a bunch of options (<a href="http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v2.8.12/cmake.html#section_Options" target="_blank">http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v2.8.12/cmake.html#section_Options</a>). 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. <br>
<br></div><div>My Request:<br></div><div>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.<br>
</div><div><br>Are there any counter-arguments against this? <br></div><div>In my opinion it would make things much cleaner.<br></div></div>
