Summary: CMAKE_COMMAND variable must always be quoted when
using Mac application bundle
Description:
When you install the Mac application bundle for CMake, the CMAKE_COMMAND
variable ends up being "/Applications/CMake 2.8-9.app/Contents/bin/cmake". Note
the presence of a space in the path. Any time you try to use the
execute_process() function to run cmake using the ${CMAKE_COMMAND} variable, it
will silent fail because it thinks you're trying to run the command
"/Applications/CMake" with a first argument of "2.8-9.app/Contents/bin/cmake".
To avoid this, you must enclose ${CMAKE_COMMAND} in quotes every time you use
it.
All of the example usage I found of ${CMAKE_COMMAND} online does not quote it
and would be bitten by this behavior.
We use execute_process() to run ${CMAKE_COMMAND} with the -E option in numerous
places in our build files, and it would be easy for someone to forget to quote
${CMAKE_COMMAND}. The best solution we have for now is to manually rename the
application bundle on our Macs to remove the space.
I believe this same problem applies to the variables CMAKE_CTEST_COMMAND and
CMAKE_EDIT_COMMAND.
