Question

How can I add custom commands to the cmake when invoking something like

cmake -G"Visual Studio 9 2008"

I wish to be able to handle the case when the supplied library finder / configurator works wrong and I want to override the corresponding variables like

set BOOST_DIRECTORY = C:\boobs\

to solve problems like no boost libraries wer found.

I wish I could have found the corresponding way myself, but I couldn’t.

Thanks.

You can use the CMake gui programs to interactively set Cache values:

ccmake

or alternatively:

cmake-gui
