[...] COMMAND DUMMY=${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR} printenv DUMMYThis works fine if there are no embedded blanks in CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR, and the bash result of the above cmake COMMAND in a custom target is DUMMY=/home/software/plplot_svn/HEAD/build_dir/examples printenv DUMMY with the expected output /home/software/plplot_svn/HEAD/build_dir/examples However, if CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR has an embedded blank, e.g., /home/software/plplot svn/HEAD/build_dir/examples then the resulting generated command is "DUMMY=/home/software/plplot svn/HEAD/build_dir/examples" printenv DUMMY which gives the bash error /bin/sh: DUMMY=/home/software/plplot svn/HEAD/build_dir/examples: No such file or directory because bash does not like quotes around variable assignment statements. To solve this issue, VERBATIM should simply put the quotes around everything after the equal sign when there are embedded blanks, e.g., DUMMY="/home/software/plplot svn/HEAD/build_dir/examples" printenv DUMMY which I have verified works fine on the bash command line. If the CMake developers here agree that is a VERBATIM bug, I will write up the appropriate bug report in the cmake bug tracker to keep track of the issue.
