[Cmake] feature request - separate user and system cmake cache files

[Tony Pan]

I tried to configure vtk 4.2.1 using cmake 1.6.5.  I created
VTK421.cmake file, which just sets a bunch of name-value pairs for the
options I want.  The file is attached.  When I run "cmake -CVTK421.cmake
vtksrcdir", the generated CMakeCache.txt has only the default values
from CMakeLists.txt.

I tried "cmake -DVTK_USE_HYBRID:BOOL=ON".  This works, the syntax is
different than what you quoted.  The user's guide has the correct
syntax, as above.  This is why I had trouble earlier.  The command line
is going to be pretty long....

Thanks for your help.

Tony

Hey Tony,

Please provide an example of a value that does not work. As far as I
know either –C or -D should work. In fact I use both so I know for the
values I’m setting they work fine. I would like to fix any problems that
exist with these approaches.

Thanks
Ken
