Hello, I am trying to use a custom command to generate test certificate for a Universal Windows Platform app, and I can't find how to properly quote the executable paths from CMake. Here is how we add the custom command:
set(WIN64UWP_CERT_NAME "${PROJECT_NAME}_TemporaryKey") add_custom_command( OUTPUT "${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/${WIN64UWP_CERT_NAME}.pfx" COMMAND "$(WindowsSdkDir)/bin/x64/makecert.exe" -cy end -eku 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.3 -r -n "CN=${PRODUCT_COMPANY}" -sv ${RESOURCES_DIR}/${WIN64UWP_CERT_NAME}.pvk ${WIN64UWP_CERT_NAME}.cer COMMAND "$(WindowsSdkDir)/bin/x64/PVK2PFX.exe" -pvk ${RESOURCES_DIR}/${WIN64UWP_CERT_NAME}.pvk -spc ${WIN64UWP_CERT_NAME}.cer -pfx ${WIN64UWP_CERT_NAME}.pfx -f WORKING_DIRECTORY ${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR} COMMENT "Generating Test Certificate..." ) Because $(WindowsSdkDir) points within C:\Program Files\... Visual Studio is unable to execute these commands since the .vcxproj does not contain quotes around the executable paths. First I tried using \" around the command, but CMake refuses to escape quotes on the command with error "COMMAND may not contain literal quotes". Then I tried XML escaped character " but then CMake translate the ; as it if was a different element of an array surrounding both sides with quotes. Then I tried %22 but CMake outputs % as %% in the vcxproj file. So how do we setup a custom command that uses a Visual Studio variable that requires to be quoted to preserve spaces? Thanks!
