I'm starting to think the best option is to simply change the default for BUILD_EXAMPLES
and BUILD_DOCS
from enabled to disabled. I can't think of a clever way to set things up that would have better defaults and still retain full configurability.
If we did something simlilar to what we do for testing, like...
if(CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME STREQUAL PROJECT_NAME OR BUILD_EXAMPLES)
... we could also keep building the examples or the docs by default when this project is the root project, but we also wouldn't have any mechanism to disable building the samples or the docs when this project is the root project, either, and I think this type of configurability is important.
Is there a way to set the default for the option to enabled when this project is the root project, and disabled otherwise, but still allow explicitly enabling and disabling the option in both cases? I'm aware of CMakeDependentOption but this doesn't seem to do what I'd like to do since it hides the option vs. changing the default when the dependencies are not satisfied.
The following describes a discrepancy in the CMake scripts of the OpenCL-CLHPP project:
BUILD_TESTING
and if the current project is the root CMake project (or if the project specificOPENCL_CLHPP_BUILD_TESTING
option is set).BUILD_EXAMPLES
andBUILD_DOCS
options, even though they are also likely to be unneeded by the parent project.BUILD_EXAMPLES
andBUILD_DOCS
as seen with theBUILD_TESTING
option.
