How to set a CMake option() at command line

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 .

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.
