My need is roughly the same as in [CMake] Can an option enforce a default, even if cache is present?.
I understand, from this thread, that cmake may relaunch a configuration by itself, without using the command line arguments but looking into the cache.
Let say, for instance, that I have an option to use -Werror warning option, lets call it WAE.
If the user don’t set value to WAE or write -DWAE=OFF, I would expect the WAE variable to be set to OFF (inside the cache).
If the user write -DWAE=ON, I would expect the WAE variable to be set to ON (inside the cache).
Is it possible to achieve this behavior? (beyond merely documenting that WAE is mandatory?)
Maybe I could unset the variable at the end of configuration/generation but how can I do that (in the scenario where cmake has to relaunch itself, the unset must not occurred until the task has successfully terminated)?
Thanks,
A.
