"Try building a project. In this form, srcdir should contain a "
"complete CMake project with a CMakeLists.txt file and all sources. "
"The bindir and srcdir will not be deleted after this command is run. "
"Specify targetName to build a specific target instead of the 'all' or "
"'ALL_BUILD' target."
"\n"

" [CMAKE_FLAGS flags...]\n"

"Try building an executable from one or more source files. "
"In this form the user need only supply one or more source files "
"that include a definition for 'main'. "
"CMake will create a CMakeLists.txt file to build the source(s) "
"as an executable. "
"Specify COPY_FILE to get a copy of the linked executable at the "
"given fileName and optionally COPY_FILE_ERROR to capture any error."
"\n"
"In this version all files in bindir/CMakeFiles/CMakeTmp "
"will be cleaned automatically. For debugging, --debug-trycompile can "
"be passed to cmake to avoid this clean. However, multiple sequential "
"try_compile operations reuse this single output directory. If you "
"use --debug-trycompile, you can only debug one try_compile call at a "
"time. The recommended procedure is to configure with cmake all the "
"way through once, then delete the cache entry associated with "
"the try_compile call of interest, and then re-run cmake again with "
"--debug-trycompile."
"\n"
"Some extra flags that can be included are, "
"INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES, LINK_DIRECTORIES, and LINK_LIBRARIES. "
"COMPILE_DEFINITIONS are -Ddefinition that will be passed to the "
"compile line.\n"
"The srcfile signature also accepts a LINK_LIBRARIES argument which "
"may contain a list of libraries or IMPORTED targets which will be "
"linked to in the generated project. If LINK_LIBRARIES is specified "
"as a parameter to try_compile, then any LINK_LIBRARIES passed as "
"CMAKE_FLAGS will be ignored.\n"
"try_compile creates a CMakeList.txt "
"file on the fly that looks like this:\n"
" add_definitions( <expanded COMPILE_DEFINITIONS from calling "
"cmake>)\n"
" include_directories(${INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES})\n"
" link_directories(${LINK_DIRECTORIES})\n"
" add_executable(cmTryCompileExec sources)\n"
" target_link_libraries(cmTryCompileExec ${LINK_LIBRARIES})\n"
"In both versions of the command, "
"if OUTPUT_VARIABLE is specified, then the "
"output from the build process is stored in the given variable. "
"The success or failure of the try_compile, i.e. TRUE or FALSE "
"respectively, is returned in "
"RESULT_VAR. CMAKE_FLAGS can be used to pass -DVAR:TYPE=VALUE flags "
"to the cmake that is run during the build. "
"Set variable CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_CONFIGURATION to choose a build "
"configuration."
