Should it be configure_file(GENERATE or file(CONFIGURE_AND_GENERATE ??
The first (or configure_file_generate, see below) would be my preference.
In the meantime, while it is certainly clumsy to do the two separate commands everywhere, you could write a CMake language function(configure_file_generate ...) that takes the same args as configure_file, but does the two step in its implementation.
That is a good idea that should be straightforward for me to implement as part of the PLplot build system. Is there a standard way such a function could be used officially as part of CMake? In other words, are there some official CMake functions now that are not written in C++ but are instead written as CMake language functions? Alan __________________________ Alan W.
