Description

Use a target.CMakeCacheEntry object to define a CMake cache entry for the CMake tool. The software adds the cache entry to the command that invokes CMake, using one of these forms:

  • -D Name:Type=Value

  • -D Name=Value

Name, Type, and Value are object properties.

To create a target.CMakeCacheEntry object, use the target.create function.

This code snippet shows how you can use the target.CMakeCacheEntry object to define CMake cache entries for the CMake tool.

tc = target.create('Toolchain', 'Name', 'CMake/Ninja for all hosts');
tc.Builder = target.create('CMakeBuilder');
tc.Builder.Generator = 'Ninja';
tc.Builder.CommandLineCacheEntries(end+1) = ...
   target.create('CMakeCacheEntry', 'Name', 'CMAKE_C_COMPILER', 'Value', 'gcc');
tc.Builder.CommandLineCacheEntries(end+1) = ...
   target.create('CMakeCacheEntry', 'Name', 'CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER', 'Value', 'g++');
