For most users, macros should be a taboo anyways. They are much better
served by functions, IMHO. In all of my projects I had only one case
where I actually needed a macro. That was when I wrapped a function
that set some variables in the PARENT_SCOPE and I had to propagate them
outside of the
Out of all the suggestions so far I'd like to say that my preferred solution
is Michael's one of:
SET( ... CONCAT [SEP ])
I haven't seen any discussion yet of my 2nd alternative of getting cmake to
automatically convert lists to space separated strings for certain variables
like CMAKE_EXE_LI

example:
append_property(SOURCE COMPILE_FLAGS "-x objective-c++"
translate.cpp stuff.cpp)
or
append_property(TARGET COMPILE_FLAGS "foo" mytarget)
etc
Would be nice to have that as an included macro, or at least a comment in
the d
