Ah, thank you very much! I was confused as the distinction between WIN32 and UNIX worked nevertheless.

If you need this information it needs to be passed in through additional "-Dvar=val" arguments prior to the -P argument. -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.
