Another option, which I feel is a nice middle ground, would be the following: ``` option(${PROJECT_NAME}_ENABLE_DOCUMENTATION "Enable building documentation" ON) ``` Here all options for SRecord would be based upon...

I would agree having some kind of link checker on a periodic basis would be beneficial to make sure links are still valid.

Something to consider is what generators to support. CMake supports single-target (Ninja, Makefile) and multi-target (XCode, VSCode). I believe SRecord should support only single-target, which will then simplify some CMake...

> Keen to know more. Why would you suggest excluding multi-target builds? After doing some more digging I mixed up multi config and multi target builds. Two generators, XCode and...

I prototyped an updated CMake which addresses some of the improvements. If your interested can take a look within my [fork of the repository](https://github.com/oceanofthelost/srecord/tree/feature/updated-cmake-build).
