Hello, A wiki article mentions some details about how parameters are handled for CMake commands. http://cmake.org/Wiki/CMake/Language_Syntax#CMake_splits_arguments_unless_you_use_quotation_marks_or_escapes.
I would like to try out the following command with unquoted parameters in a small build script. configure_file(${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/t1.txt.in ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/t1.txt @ONLY) The application "CMake GUI 2.8.12.2" reports some "internal errors" as I would expect it if I dare to use the following setting. CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR: ... /Probe/quoting/contains s p a c e s;COPYONLY ESCAPE_QUOTES CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR: ... /build/quoting/contains s p a c e s;COPYONLY ESCAPE_QUOTES But I wonder about the result that the configuration command works if the shown file names do not contain semicolons. http://cmake.org/cmake/help/cmake_tutorial.html#s1 Would you like to explain such an observation?
