I'm using KDevelop from git master (2010-12-03).

I have this issue with KDevelop's CMake configuration: Suppose I spent quite some time to find out the cmake variables needed to properly compile my project in Debug mode using clang. So I set all those variables there in the dialog, but if I delete the build directory (because, for example, it screws up the build), all my custom-set variables are gone.

So, I'd like to be able to specify per-configuration cmake variables that don't get erased along with the build directory. Maybe in a separate list, or a line that gets passed as an argument to cmake at configure stage (I would specify several -DCMAKE_VAR=something entries there). The last one is probably easier to implement.

Thanks

Reproducible: Always

adding history to the lineedit for custom cmake parameters in the initial "select build dir" dialog would be good

I sumbitted a patch to add history for extra arguments in the build directory configuration dialog: https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/104755/
