Hello, I have CMake installed via apt-get on a few Debian-derived operating systems. My question is version independent, and I haven't checked, but I think version 2.8.0+ describes all the machines.
There is a software project that I am wanting to become involved in that uses cmake, but I have never used makefiles of any sort within the last 20 years. I have a vague understanding of how they function and what their goals are, it's just that I've never written anything that had a level of complexity to require it. I don't necessarily need to be able to create any kind of makefiles, but I only need to know how to use them at compile time. I could be talked into authoring them in the future, but presently there is no need. The software project I am interested in has very few members where forum questions can take several days to answer (there seems to be only 1 or 2 active participants whom are mostly absent) So lets get to the specifics, the project is open62541.org. Somebody wrote a wonderful PDF tutorial (link below) that suggests that compilation flags, such as BUILD_SHARED_LIBS, UA_ENABLE_METHODCALLS, or UA_ENABLE_AMALGAMATION, but fails to explain exactly how they are enabled. Would these be passed as parameters to cmake or would they have to be inserted into a file that the CMake tool suite expects to find upon execution of cmake?
