"complete CMake project with a CMakeLists.txt file and all sources. The "
"bindir and srcdir will not be deleted after this command is run. "
"If <target name> is specified then build just that target "

"Try compiling a srcfile. In this case, the user need only supply a "
"source file. CMake will create the appropriate CMakeLists.txt file "
"to build the source. If COPY_FILE is used, the compiled file will be "
"copied to the given file.\n"
"In this version all files in bindir/CMakeFiles/CMakeTmp, "
"will be cleaned automatically, for debugging a --debug-trycompile can "
"be passed to cmake to avoid the clean. 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. "
"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"

"In both versions of the command, "
"if OUTPUT_VARIABLE is specified, then the "
"output from the build process is stored in the given variable. "
"Return the success or failure in "
"RESULT_VAR. CMAKE_FLAGS can be used to pass -DVAR:TYPE=VALUE flags "
"to the cmake that is run during the build. "
