As I understand it, setting a variable in a "-C" cache file and with a
"-D" command-line argument is equivalent. The only difference is the
requisite precedence, and since we are not specifying "FORCE" for the
"-C" cache file entries any "-D" configure-flags from a Guix package
take precedence.
I also noticed the following in my simple test project, so I am
looking to also move these "-D" arguments into the "-C" cache file in
cmake-build's configure.
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
CMake Warning:
Manually-specified variables were not used by the project:
CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
This persistent cache is the lowest-level scope [1] so is overwritten
by a "set" command in any CMakeLists.txt. An "option" (for example
BUILD_TESTING in the CTest module) does not affect a normal or cache
variable [2].
