[Cmake] Question regarding CMakeCache.txt

[Bill Hoffman]

The following works :
PROJECT(foo)
SET(CMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE 1)


However, note that the Cache file will NOT be changed.  However, you will
get correct behavior.  To change the cache file, you have to use
FORCE option for the SET command.

Then, in the CMakeLists.txt of my application, I include my library's configuration file (INCLUDE(myLibrary.cmake)) and nothing happens. Everything that I found so far is that I need to either run ccmake or edit the CMakeCache.txt file.  Is there a more automatic way to "inherit" this value from a project to another?  Anyway to modify this value from a CMakeLists.txt?
