The final args to set_target_properties are any number of name/value pairs:
http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.3/command/set_target_properties.html The only thing we could do there is look for an even number of args, and catch possible problems half the time... I'm not sure if there are any restrictions on property names, but for this command, and its historical args composition, we are stuck with "prop1 value1 prop2 value2 ..." as the final args. Having said all that, there are some checks on the args to the function, so it looks like you got "unlucky" with the number of paths in the prop value. I would advise against playing roulette for a while... ;-) https://github.com/Kitware/CMake/blob/422d3f68/Source/cmSetTargetPropertiesCommand.cxx#L36-L40 HTH, David C.
