| Product Version | CMake 2.8.12.2 | ||||||||
| Target Version | Fixed in Version | ||||||||
| Summary | 0014964: Command line scanning is bad with spaces | ||||||||
| Description | If the -D or -C options are used with a space between the flag and the argument after the path to the project, cmake will interpret the argument to the flag as being the intended source directory. | ||||||||
| Steps To Reproduce | cmake . -D OPTION=VALUE # verbatim, run anywhere cmake . -C initial-script # idem | ||||||||
| Additional Information | Works fine with -DOPTION=VALUE or -Cinitial-script or if the options are placed (with spaces) before the build directory. | ||||||||

This works fine for me, especially if I follow the correct syntax and specify the path to the source directory last. |

I am aware that the correct syntax is with the source directory last, but I think that placing options afterwards should either always work or never work, because working only without a space is a rather odd quirk. It's also not particularly obvious that the source directory has to be the last argument. |

Bump -- I still think it would be good if CMake were less obtuse about this -- perhaps *consistently* outputting an error message if there's anything else after the source directory, or if the behaviour were at least clearly documented. |

Moving to backlog because no one is working on it. The command-line argument handling needs a non-trivial cleanup anyway to do things like complain about unrecognized options. This issue is just one of symptoms. |
