The only warning that is enabled by default is to warn you about
misspelled -D options that you pass on the command line. (We think
they *may* be misspelled because they are not referenced in the
configure/generate steps... So it's just a warning.)

You can suppress this by also passing "--no-warn-unused-cli" on the
CMake command line. Or by avoiding passing in the unused variables in
the first place. Or by sticking with CMake 2.8.3 that does not produce
this warning.

Those are your 3 options for avoiding this warning.

HTH,
