TRACE
The CMake command-line tool displays STATUS
to TRACE
messages on stdout with the message preceded by two hyphens and a space. All other message types are sent to stderr and are not prefixed with hyphens. The CMake GUI
displays all messages in its log area. The curses interface
shows STATUS
to TRACE
messages one at a time on a status line and other messages in an interactive pop-up box. The --loglevel
command-line option to each of these tools can be used to control which messages will be shown.
CMake Warning and Error message text displays using a simple markup language. Non-indented text is formatted in line-wrapped paragraphs delimited by newlines. Indented text is considered pre-formatted.
