I’m getting an error using CMake 4.0.0-rc2 (Not sure if it’s specific to this version).
```auto
~/projects/glslang$ cmake-gui -S . -B build
Error: could not load cache
```
However, it loads perfectly fine in cmake-gui. Minor issue that would be nice to fix before the official release.

This is long-standing behavior. I don’t plan to delay 4.0 for a fix to it, but I’d welcome a merge request addressing it.

Makes sense, no reason to block on this then. I’ll update the title.
