The CMake language does not actually know anything about generator expressions. They are just strings like any other command arguments as far as it knows. See the command argument syntax documentation here: http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.0/manual/cmake-language.7.html#command-arguments In order to ensure the command receives a generator expression in its entirety it should be double-quoted if it contains any literal spaces or ${var} evaluations that may have ; in them. Otherwise it is not necessary to quote and sometimes looks nicer not to. It is always safe to quote generator expressions though. -Brad -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
