We have a quite large build and sometimes users want to rebuild part of our software automatically rather than use a preinstalled version. We can support this with recursive calls to cmake for the particular code they are trying to build but we need to also pass down whatever parameters they passed to the top-level cmake invocation. We don't know them all ahead of time, nor do we really want to hardcode them explicitly in the calls to cmake.<br>

</div></div>No, and I think in general this wouldn't make a lot of sense.<br>
What do you want to pass ?<br>
The generator ? There is the CMAKE_GENERATOR variable for that.<br>
Some values from cache ? Then pass explicitely these values.<br>
