Hello list!

As a learning exercise, I am adding CMake and CTest to a small open- source library I made which currently has no build system:

        http://hostilefork.com/nstate/
        http://hostilefork.com/nocycle/

For the first step, I have been applying the "configure_file" methodology to this header:

        
http://github.com/hostilefork/nocycle/blob/1ac238aea7af9e02f3a49f0c7eb991074c8eb3fd/NocycleSettings.hpp

( Following these directions: http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/CMake_HowToDoPlatformChecks )

It seems the #cmakedefine lines are replaced with one of these two cases:

        #define VAR_THAT_IS_ON
        /* #undef VAR_THAT_IS_OFF */

However... in the past I have been persuaded by the argument that the use of #if is superior to #ifdef for conditional compilation. ( Roddy's comment here on StackOverflow summarizes the advantages pretty well: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/135069/ifdef-vs-if-which-is-bettersafer )

Is it possible to get CMake to produce something more like:

        #define VAR_THAT_IS_ON 1
        #define VAR_THAT_IS_OFF 0

There are other questions I have lined up. :) But I'll start with just that one, and if anyone wants to be proactive offer advice/ pointers/urls based on the existing source... please jump in!

Thanks!
---Brian
