My earlier question still stands, but at the time I wrote it I had only tested it for Debug builds where ${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_DEBUG} consisted of a single item, '-g'. I've since tried doing the same thing for a Release build, and this failed because ${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELEASE} has two items, '-O3 -DNDEBUG'. When the custom command is executed, this somehow becomes "-O3\ -DNDEBUG" on the command line, and the presence of the stray backslash causes the compilation to fail with the message, "cc1plus: error: argument to '-O' should be a non-negative integer. 'g', 's' or 'fast'" So why isn't the cmake variable placed properly onto the command line, and what can I do to prevent this behaviour? -- 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.
