Ok. Then, he should use separate_arguments: ,---- | separate_arguments(CAIRO_LINK_FLAGS) `---- > But I think that his example is wrong, it should be: > set(a "-Lfoo -lbar") > message(STATUS "a = ${a}") > set(a_list ${a}) > message(STATUS "a_list = ${a_list}") > > Then the result should be > -- a = -Lfoo -lbar > -- a_list = -Lfoo;-lbar No, should it not. How should that be possible? ${a} is not a list, it's a string (ie. it does not contain semi colons). The output is: ,---- | -- a = -Lfoo -lbar | -- a_list = -Lfoo -lbar `---- Regards, Claudio _______________________________________________ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
