| Summary | 0015575: Ambiguous documentation for how to define a (cached) variable in cmake from command line | ||||||||
| Description | As discussed in http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30319646/ambiguous-documentation-for-how-to-define-a-cached-variable-in-cmake-from-comm: [^] In the command line synopsis there's -D<var>=<value> While in the option description we read: -D <var>:<type>=<value> The two entries differ by a space between -D and the variable definition, and by the presence/absence of :<type>. Does the space make any difference? What is the difference between specifying or not the type? Is it cached in any case? Is it shown in the gui afterwards? | ||||||||

This was partially resolved by a recent commit: Help: Document conversion of PATH/FILEPATH cache values to absolute paths http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=77d466ec [^] I've updated the documentation further to clarify: Help: Spell '-D' option consistently across documentation http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=b0ea3673 [^] |
