Hi, I'm new to cmake. I asked at #cmake how to prefix a string to a list of paths. I got the reply that I should use a foreach loop which worked.
Can I abstract this pattern using a macro such as this? # prefix and suffix each element of list by ${prefix}elemnt${suffix} macro(PREFIXSUFFIX list_name prefix suffix) # create empty list - necessary? SET(${list_name}_TMP) # prefix and suffix elements foreach(l ${list_name}) list(APPEND ${list_name}_TMP ${prefix}${l}${suffix} ) endforeach() # replace list by tmp list SET(${list_name} ${list_name}_TMP) UNSET(${list_name}_TMP) endmacro(PREFIXSUFFIX) When running make I get something like: make[2]: *** No rule to make target `/pr/tasks/terraView_trunk/build/cmake/UI_FILES_TMP', needed by `UI_FILES_TMP.h'. Stop. So what's the missing piece I don't understand yet?
