Indeed, I use CONFIGURE_FILE() to replace paths to tools and source files in an XML file. I'm using WiX to make a windows installer package, and this required an XML file to describe the project. I need to package things like Qt DLLs, my applications translation files, and other components whose paths I do not know until build time. Is there a better way to solve such a problem on Windows?
