CMake cache

Last modified: 28 August 2024

CMake caches variables and settings in the CMakeCache.txt file. When you load a project for the first time, this file is generated in the build directory (cmake-build-debug or cmake-build-release by default) according to the contents of CMakeLists.txt.

If required, you can open and edit CMakeCache.txt as a regular text file. For this, click in the CMake Tool Window or locate the file in the project tree.

You can view and edit values of CMake cache variables in the CMake profile settings.
