If "if()" is never fixed people will still run into that and be confused. Adding another command will leave people with the decision about which one to use in what cases and be even more confused. As I have explained every other time it has come up there is exactly one way to fix it: a policy that makes expansion happen only for unquoted arguments. Someone just has to do it. -Brad -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
