I can't tell you why because the syntax rules of CMake are still obscure
to me but this works:
SET(ENV{FOO} ON)
MESSAGE(FOO = $ENV{FOO}) # prints "FOO = ON"
SET( A $ENV{FOO} )
MESSAGE(A = ${A})
IF(A)
MESSAGE("FOO is set")
ELSE(A)
MESSAGE("FOO is not set")
ENDIF(A)
EXECUTE_PROCESS( COMMAND bash -c 'echo EDITOR=$EDITOR' )
EXECUTE_PROCESS( COMMAND bash -c 'echo FOO=$FOO' )
