Another approach is to introduce a generator expression to transform the path slash style. Then it could be used both for ExternalProject and in other custom commands. E.g. $<PATH_FOR_SHELL:<SOURCE_DIR>/bootstrap${shell_ext}> In this case <SOURCE_DIR> would be replaced with forward slashes by ExternalProject but then at generate time CMake would evaluate the genex to convert slashes as needed. -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.
