For creating a file at build time with a content like this: #define foo "bar"
I use this on Linux: add_custom_command(OUTPUT buildobj.h COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E echo "\\#define foo \\\"bar\\\"" > buildobj.h ) but that doesn't work on Windows, because it outpus: \#define foo "bar" Removing the backslashes before `#' fixes the problem on Windows, but then breaks the Linux build. This looks as if `echo' was using the system shell for doing the job, because the escapes works differently on each system. What's the right way to write the above command so it works on all platforms? _______________________________________________ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
