There are two different ways to configure with cmake ; one is to run cmake in a fresh directory passing some options on the command line, and the other is to run ccmake and use its editor to change options. For both, assume you are in a directory called debug and the IMP source is in a directory at ../imp .
If you create the cache variable in the CMakeLists. txt file and then pass the argument via calling cmake, won't the CMakeList. txt file keep overwriting the argument value? No, the cache is populated on the first run with either the default value, or the value supplied on the command line if it is provided.
When CMake is first run in an empty build tree, it creates a CMakeCache. txt file and populates it with customizable settings for the project. This option may be used to specify a setting that takes priority over the project's default value. The option may be repeated for as many CACHE entries as desired.
Delete the CMakeCache.txt file and try this:
cmake -G %1 -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON -DBUILD_STATIC_LIBS=ON -DBUILD_TESTS=ON ..
You have to enter all your command-line definitions before including the path.
An additional option is to go to your build folder and use the command ccmake .
This is like the GUI but terminal based. This obviously won't help with an installation script but at least it can be run without a UI.
The one warning I have is it won't let you generate sometimes when you have warnings. if that is the case, exit the interface and call cmake .
this works for me:
cmake -D DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON DBUILD_STATIC_LIBS=ON DBUILD_TESTS=ON ..
