Summary | 0010743: Add dependencies to OPTION | ||||||||
Description | It would be useful if OPTION had an additional DEPENDS argument. If the argument is evaluated to boolean false (applying the usual rules of IF()) and it is still selected an error is raised. | ||||||||
Additional Information | Example: OPTION(bar "enables bar" OFF) OPTION(foo "enables foo" OFF DEPENDS bar) Should be equivalent to OPTION(bar "enables bar" OFF) OPTION(foo "enables foo" OFF) IF (foo AND NOT bar) MESSAGE(SEND_ERROR "You can't select \"foo\" because it's dependencies (bar) were not met") ENDIF () The GUI then could gray out all options with unmet dependencies to make the user's life easier. | ||||||||

Are you aware of the CMakeDependentOption module? http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/cmake-2-8-docs.html#module:CMakeDependentOption [^] It does not "gray things out" in the GUI, but it does give some help to making options depend on other options. It also does not raise any errors. But perhaps it suffices for the use case you were thinking of when you entered this issue? |
(0021948) Rolf Eike Beer (developer) 2010-08-25 08:44 |
Yes, that sounds very helpful. Maybe this should be mentioned in the documentation of the OPTION command then, how should anyone find this if he does not know what name to search for? |
(0021956) David Cole (manager) 2010-08-25 11:11 |
Good point. How does this sound as additional documentation for the OPTION command: "If you have options that depend on the values of other options, see the module help for CMakeDependentOption." |
(0021961) Rolf Eike Beer (developer) 2010-08-25 13:37 |
Yes, that sounds good. Now the GUI just has to know to also look on this makro added options ;) |
(0021965) David Cole (manager) 2010-08-25 15:28 |
Documentation added to the OPTION command to point to the CMakeDependentOption command. In 'next' branch of CMake as of now: http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=9e62ac0b400c5aff953b74c8f8187ba9f4f71969 [^] We are not going to add anything to the cmake-gui app for now related to this issue. |
