Sorry about the typo.
In order to have the environment variable persist you need to set it
in the parent process. I know if no mechanism of setting environment
variables in a parent process using CMake or otherwise.
The script mechanism I described was intended to set the environment
before calling the command you need. In essense the CMake script
becomes the parent process from which all child processes will inherit
environment variables from.

A nice solution to my problem would be to simply extend the set-
command with an option like:
set(ENV_KEEP{VAR} some_info)
which means that the environment variable VAR will be set to
'some_info' and will NOT will be cleared when the script is
terminated. What do you think about this? would this be possible?

Thanks, but I do not think this is what I want. set($ENV{VAR}
"some_data") in a cmake-script will set an enviroment variable AND
delete it when the script terminates. Is this not true when using -
P? Do I actually need an execute_process-command (or anything else)
in my script that will set the environment variable?

Hello and sorry for my late response!
I can not get this to work. When i execute the command COMMAND $
{CMAKE_COMMAND} -E ${template.cmake}
I get an error saying something like:
I believe there was a minor typo in the post. The flag you probably
want is "-P" which is "process script mode".
