[CMake] moving project folder

[abhijeet mhatre]

HI David
  Actually I wanted to change the compiler from g++ to m68k-g++ (compiler for motorola architecture) so I just edited CMakeCache.txt where it was defined.
 
 I think I did it all wrong and should have put something in CMakeLists.txt instead of CMakeCache.txt.
 
 Could you tell me how to change the compiler in CMakeLists.txt ?
 
 Thanks a lot
 
 Abhijeet

Suppose if I want distribute my project with the source code, 
CMake files and all, how do I do this? I dont mind regenerating
build files using "cmake ." but I dont want to edit the CMakeLists.txt

and CMakeCache.txt when I distriubute my project. Is this doable?
