Hi everyone, Sorry if this has been answered before, but google doesnt give me anything useful...
Lets say I have a list of source files : SOURCES holds : filea.c;fileb.c I want to pass them to an external program ( Astyle for example ) so I need to have a whitespace separated list there fore I use the trick here which gives me the correct solution : http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ#How_to_convert_a_semicolon_separated_list_to_a_whitespace_separated_string.3F So now SPACES_SOURCES holds : "filea.c fileb.c" however now I want to use that in a custom target : ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET(format ALL ${ASTYLE_EXECUTABLE} --style=ansi ${SPACES_SOURCES} VERBATIM ) Problem is that the command generated by cmake still includes the double quotes. therefore : astyle --style=ansi "filea.c fileb.c" doesnt work ( expects one file with a space in the name ) I cant even use a first shell to evaluate those because cmake would escape the single reverse quotes : astyle --style=ansi \` echo "filea.c fileb.c"\` which is the exact opposite of what I want... Any idea anyone ? I guess I must be missing something obvious here, but this has troubled me for a while now... Thanks a lot ! -- Alex
