Cmake Set Option In Cmakelists

Lots of people use gtest surely someone has run into this before.
Cmake set option in cmakelists. When executing cmake configuration for the second time the option command would be ignored because there is already a value in the cache and the value from the set command would be used. By default source file properties are only visible to targets added in the same directory cmakelists txt. Scope may name zero or more existing targets. How does one set an option declared by a subdirectory before entering that subdirectory.
See also the set target properties command. Using msiexec to install cmake and i ve tried to specify the install folder using the targetdir installdir command line options. Now if the parent and the child project provide the same option for example a compiler option the parent gets the first chance to add a user editable option to the cache. Visibility can be set in other directory scopes using one or both of the following sub options.
After all it has nothing to do with catch so better leave the catch target as it is. When you create a new project clion generates cmakelists txt file automatically and places it in the project root directory. Scope may name zero or more source files. G whatever doption on works fine for me with cmake 3 16 2.
Cmakelists txt file contains a set of directives and instructions describing the project s source files and targets executable library or both. Cmake always installs to c program files. Is there a way to work around this. This would lead to some strange behavior that the configuration between two cmake runs would be different.
I m using the cmake version 3 15 5. I tried to set the options on top level cmakelists txt but nothing change. So now what. But when i make ccmake s project b build the options appears in default.
Alexander revo jan 21 at 8 53. Any pointer about what i m doing wrong is really welcome. I m starting to suspect that everyone who needs this to work unattended edits the gtest source to change the default there. It seems you no longer have to pass the options before the path.
To open a project you can point clion to the top level cmakelists txt and choose open as project. Hi chenli thanks for the question. The child project has its own cmakelists txt which is included from the parent cmakelists txt using add subdirectory. On wed nov 2 2011 at 6 36 pm dan kegel hidden email wrote.
