What I did (and solved the issue) is:
file(READ "zconf.in.h" ZCONF_H)
STRING(REPLACE "HAVE_STD_HEADERS_H" ${HAVE_STD_HEADERS_H} "${ZCONF_H}")
file(WRITE "zconf.test" "${ZCONF_H}")Especially the quotes around the variable are important as otherwise CMake think it's an array and not a string... I think :) 2009/3/25 David Cole <[email protected]> > ";" is the CMake list element separator character.
