Sorry - I should have said property rather than flag. That is, something along the lines of set_target_properties(the_target PROPERTIES C_DIALECT C99) Or set_source_files_properties(myfile.c PROPERTIES C_DIALECT C99) (I'm not entirely sure here whether the source file property should be C_DIALECT or just DIALECT. The language, after all, should be unambiguous at this point) It would then be the responsibility of the Cmake machinery to choose the right compiler and set it up for building code with the given dialect. -- Owen Shepherd http://www.owenshepherd.net owen.sheph...@e43.eu (general) / oshephe...@shef.ac.uk (academic) _______________________________________________ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
