Current Behavior

For a while now I wondered why my gvmd builds fail during linking if I try to enable e.g ENABLE_OPENVASD (but this also applies to other options like ENABLE_AGENTS, ENABLE_CONTAINER_SCANNING, etc.) by passing -DENABLE_OPENVASD:BOOL=TRUE

It turned out that I need to pass -DENABLE_OPENVASD:STRING=1 which is kind of unusual (https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/prop_cache/TYPE.html). This also leads to e.g. the CMake gui not actually showing any options at all.

Where for example gvm-libs appears to handle things correctly/normally already:

Expected Behavior

Handle build options like CMake intends them to (and gvm-libs already does).

Steps To Reproduce

1. Pass e.g. -DENABLE_OPENVASD:BOOL=TRUE
2. See final linking step fail

Operating System

Exherbo Linux

Version

gvmd-26.29.0

Anything else?

Feel free to provide a PR for that issue. This is very old school CMake that doesn't distinguish between BOOL and INT. Both -DENABLE_FOO=true and -DENABLE_FOO=1 work at the moment.
