Try set( CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_DEBUG "/vmg /MDd") The problem is that whitespace separated items are interpreted as a list. In CMake, a list is stored as a string of semicolon-separated list elements. String, list, and quote behavior is one of those "chapter topic" issues that unfortunately, isn't documented because we don't have chapter-oriented documentation. I suppose that people with energy could write "chapter topics" on the wiki, but what happens in the real world is, once you've learned this stuff you tend to not care anymore. It's the classic programmer vs. documenter dilemma. That said, I'm adding a FAQ entry about this. Is all this written up nicely in the "Mastering CMake" book? I've never read it. I learned CMake by hacking. Cheers, Brandon Van Every _______________________________________________ CMake mailing list [email protected] http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
