CMake is a windows program that happens to know how to generate MSYS makefiles. It does not try to reproduce the native build behavior for EXEC* commands during processing of CMakeLists.txt code. Windows programs do not know how to interpret #! lines in scripts they execute. You'll have to invoke it using the second form. It should work everywhere anyway. -Brad _______________________________________________ CMake mailing list CMake@cmake.org http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
