This macro presents an option to the user only if a set of other -conditions are true. When the option is not presented a default value -is used, but any value set by the user is preserved for when the -option is presented again. Example invocation: +conditions are true. + +Usage: + +.. code-block:: cmake + + cmake_dependent_option(<option> "<help_text>" <value> <depends> <force>) + +Where ``<option>`` is available to the user if ``<depends>`` is true. When +``<option>`` is available, the given ``<help_text>`` and initial ``<value>`` +are used. If the ``<depends>`` condition is not true, ``<option>`` will not be +presented and will always have the value given by ``<force>``. Any value set by +the user is preserved for when the option is presented again. Each element in +the fourth parameter is evaluated as an if-condition, so +:ref:`Condition Syntax` can be used. + +Example invocation: .. code-block:: cmake - CMAKE_DEPENDENT_OPTION(USE_FOO "Use Foo" ON + cmake_dependent_option(USE_FOO "Use Foo" ON "USE_BAR;NOT USE_ZOT" OFF) -If USE_BAR is true and USE_ZOT is false, this provides an option -called USE_FOO that defaults to ON. Otherwise, it sets USE_FOO to -OFF. If the status of USE_BAR or USE_ZOT ever changes, any value for -the USE_FOO option is saved so that when the option is re-enabled it -retains its old value.
