    Description

      To add a configure option -foo that translates into a CMake argument -DQT_FOO=ON one has to

      • add a qt_commandline_option(foo TYPE boolean) call in qt_cmdline.cmake
      • add a translate_boolean_input(foo QT_FOO) call in QtProcessConfigureArguments.cmake
      • add this mapping to configure-cmake-mapping.md

      At least the second step could be omitted if we could say in qt_cmdline.cmake

      qt_commandline_option(foo TYPE boolean CMAKE_NAME QT_FOO)

      Make it so!

      Bonus question: Can we generate the configure->CMake mapping from this?
