What are you going to do with it once it's in the value ARCH or x?
It's hard to see the literal contents of a cmake variable without
using "" in the message command.
This code:
set(x "-DCMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES=i386\\;x86_64")
message("${x}")
produces this output:
-DCMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES=i386\;x86_64
The "\" needs escaping, and needs to be doubled up in the set call.
The arg to message needs to be quoted so that semi-colons do not get
eaten.
Does that help?
If not, we need more context......
Cheers,
David
