CMake: Skip Compiler Check

Posted on Edited on In Views: Word count in article: 53 Reading time ≈ 1 mins.

CMake will try to check compiler is working or not if project language was set to C/CXX. However, sometimes we just want to skip this test…

Solution 1: Manually Set COMPILER_WORKS Flag

2
set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER_WORKS 1)
set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_WORKS 1)

Solution 2: Set project language to NONE

project(<PROJECT-NAME> NONE)
