I have a list of compiler flags: GET_DIRECTORY_PROPERTY(EXCESSIVE_CPPFLAGS_LIST DIRECTORY ${Chicken_SOURCE_DIR} DEFINITIONS ) I want to turn this list into a string with NO SEMICOLONS. I need to shove this into a .scm file and semicolons won't be appreciated. I keep trying all these different FOREACH and STRING functions, and nothing works! I always end up with semicolons. What's the answer? It's like CMake is too smart about string handling, the double quotes " " always have side effects. It won't let me manipulate a plain old dumb string. This failed: STRING(REPLACE ";" " " EXCESSIVE_CPPFLAGS "${EXCESSIVE_CPPFLAGS_LIST}") This failed: MACRO(TO_STRING list string) SET(${string} "") FOREACH(elem ${${list}}) SET(${string} "${${string}} ${elem}") ENDFOREACH(elem) ENDMACRO(TO_STRING) Everything I try fails. HEEEELLLLPPPP!!!!! Cheers, Brandon Van Every Have you tried "${Chicken_SOURCE_DIR}"? That's not the problem.  I assure you I've got a list of stuff.  Here's what finally ends up being substituted into csc.scm.  The part with semicolons between the entries is from CMake script substitution.  I can't get rid of the semicolons! $ csc -cflags -DHAVE_CHICKEN_CONFIG_H -DHIERARCHICAL_INSTALL;-DC_USE_C_DEFAULTS;-DC_INSTALL_HOME="E:/Program Files/Chicken";-DC_INSTALL_BIN_HOME="E:/Program Files/Chicken/bin";-DC_INSTALL_INCLUDE_HOME="E:/Program Files/Chicken/include";-DC_INSTALL_LIB_HOME="E:/Program Files/Chicken/lib";-DHAVE_DIRECT_H;-DHAVE_GCVT;-DHAVE_STDINT_H;-DHAVE_WINDOWS_H;-DHAVE_LOADLIBRARY;-DHAVE_GETPROCADDRESS;-DHAVE_WINSOCK2_H;-DHAVE_WS2TCPIP_H;-DC_ENABLE_PTABLES;-DC_STACK_GROWS_DOWNWARD=1 -DC_NO_PIC_NO_DLL -I "E:/Program Files/Chicken/include"
