Since I was setting the variable back to its original value in the same file with the target, the change was being undone, even though I was setting it back after adding the target. If I just leave the value changed and let the normal scoping rules undo the change, it works perfectly.

[CMake] Removing default COMPILE_FLAGS
I am building a project that has a single managed c++ target, and I need to remove a compile flag for only this one target, since it conflicts with the -clr flag. Is it possible to remove a flag from the default CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS variable only for this target?

Re: [CMake] cmake 2.8.0, FindGTK2 on mac
That doesn't seem to help. But yeah, it seems the find_path returns the extra gtk... if I message() the contents of GTK2_GTK_INCLUDE_DIR I get /Library/Frameworks/Gtk.framework/Headers/gtk While gtkversion's full name is /Library/Frameworks/Gtk.framework/Headers/gtk/gtkversion.h Maybe some kind of if(APPLE) then apple "../" to alot of these paths are in order. I'm not sure what approach to take that would require the least amount of hacking. I think find_path is probably trying to be compatible with the mac style of framework installs, which may put a part of the include (gtk/) as part of the base framework name (Gtk.framework). This is a pure guess though, but man gcc under the -F switch has some info on this.

I read in a past post that Kitware (or the authors) has another edition planned for the book "Mastering CMake."

I did not thoroughly test the CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES problem that I previously reported. I must have confused this problem with a similar problem that I encountered when I tried (and failed) to set CMAKE_BINARY_DIR when running the command-line cmake. I re-tested this problem and found that cmake is functioning properly. Thank you for your suggestions.

Re: [CMake] Is there a way to omit relative path from the name of the comilation output file ()?
Such a long path imposes several constrains/inconveniences:
1) It limits number of objects that could be passed to link command to
~1300 (which is OK with us for now).
2) It substantially increases the size and readability of the build log
files. (hence makes it difficult to debug build problems)
3) We use build procedures that glob for object files (for example in
order to clean orphan objects that are no longer listed in
CMakeLists.txt). We'll have to use more complex logic in those
procedures.
