-C <initial-cache>
Pre-load a script to populate the cache.
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 file from which
to load cache entries before the first pass through the project's cmake listfiles. The loaded
entries take priority over the project's default values. The given file should be a CMake script
containing SET commands that use the CACHE option, not a cache-format file.
|
-D <var>:<type>=<value>
Create a cmake cache entry.
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.
|
-U <globbing_expr>
Remove matching entries from CMake cache.
This option may be used to remove one or more variables from the CMakeCache.txt file, globbing
expressions using * and ? are supported. The option may be repeated for as many cache entries as
desired.
Use with care, you can make your CMakeCache.txt non-working.
