Summary0012658: On Microsoft Visual C++ 2008, even I set CMAKE_START_TEMP_FILE="" and CMAKE_END_TEMP_FILE="", the command line is still not show
DescriptionWhen the generator is "NMake Makefiles" with MSVC 2008, I wish to see the full command line, but what says here <http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ#Is_there_an_option_to_produce_more_.27verbose.27_compiling.3F> [^] does not help.
Steps To ReproduceWhen the generator is "NMake Makefiles" with MSVC 2008, I wish to see the full command line, thus I use the following command to generate:

cmake .. -G "NMake Makefiles" -DCMAKE_START_TEMP_FILE="" -DCMAKE_END_TEMP_FILE=""
nmake VERBOSE=1

But there is still something like "@" appears.

Then I tried:
cmake .. -G "NMake Makefiles"
nmake VERBOSE=1 CMAKE_START_TEMP_FILE="" CMAKE_END_TEMP_FILE=""

Nothing helped.

I updated the wiki page that you refer to with corrected information:

"-- be warned, however, you cannot set these as variables on the CMake command line with -D. Instead, see the very bottom of the file "Modules/Platform/Windows.cmake" and uncomment the lines that set these variables to the empty string."

Using -D to set these variables does not work in the normal case because that file simply sets the variables and overwrites whatever you give with -D as a local override value.

You actually have to edit the file "Windows.cmake" to get this to work.

Will there be a way to do this in an easy way? This would be very useful for debugging CMakeLists.txt

Sending old, not-recently-updated issues to the backlog.

(The age of the bug alone means that nobody is actively working on it...)

If an issue you care about is sent to the backlog when you feel it should have been addressed in a different manner, please bring it up on the CMake mailing list for discussion. Sign up for the mailing list here, if you're not already on it: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake [^]

It's easy to re-activate a bug here if you can find a CMake developer who has the bandwidth to take it on, and ferry a fix through to our 'next' branch for dashboard testing.
