Re: [CMake] Macro with strings: nmake/Visual

When I use add_definitions I must

string macro definitions:

1. source code: #define BOOST_USER_CONFIG=<config.h>

if(MSVC_IDE)
    add_definitions(-DBOOST_USER_CONFIG=&lt\;config.h&gt\;)
else(MSVC_IDE)
    add_definitions(-DBOOST_USER_CONFIG="<config.h>")
endif(MSVC_IDE)

2.  source code: #define DLOCALEDIR="."

if(MSVC_IDE)
        add_definitions(-DLOCALEDIR=".")
else(MSVC_IDE)
        add_definitions(-DLOCALEDIR=\\".\\" )
endif(MSVC_IDE)

Is there a simpler solution or is it a bug?

Passing angle brackets and quotes in definitions through the command 
line has never really been done with CMake before.  I'd say this is a 
bug, but I'm not sure how to fix it without breaking someone's project 
who already did your work-around.  Please report it to the bug tracker 
so at least it won't be lost.
