[CMake] re-config on make all

[Vandenbroucke Sander]

That would be 2.4 patch 7... :-( So I try the update first before adding the :STRING.

Thanks!

Now we're getting somewhere...

Which 2.4 are you on?

To force caching of "-D" variables with older cmake versions, specify a type for each one (the ":STRING" in the modified version below). Also, I would put the -D values before naming the source directory:

  cmake -G "MSYS Makefiles" -DCMAKE_SYSTEM:STRING=Generic -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER_WORKS:STRING=1
    -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_WORKS:STRING=1 -DCMAKE_COMPILER_IS_GNUCC:STRING=1
    -DCMAKE_COMPILER_IS_GNUCXX:STRING=1 -DTARGET:STRING=nios2 ../

The reason we are all confused trying to answer your question is that you can do this without the ":STRING" in CMake 2.6. (In fact, I think the caching behavior changed in one of the 2.4.x patch releases because people were mainly confused about why ":STRING=" values were cached but simple "=" values were not.) I think 2.4.8 works the same as 2.6 in this regard.


HTH,

They are my project specific options to define a target architecture. I have not cached them my self. So to fix this 'problem' I should cache all my -D options.

I'm still on 2.4. Upgrading is planned some time in the future.

set CC=distcc nios2-elf-gcc
set CXX=distcc nios2-elf-g++
cmake -G "MSYS Makefiles" ../ -DCMAKE_SYSTEM=Generic -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER_WORKS=1 -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_WORKS=1 -DCMAKE_COMPILER_IS_GNUCC=1 -DCMAKE_COMPILER_IS_GNUCXX=1 -DTARGET=nios2
