Thanks that works great. I just wrote an eval macro that does that

Subject: Re: [CMake] Using a variable as a method name
Not directly, but as a workaround, you could write that into a file, and then
include the file.
i.e.:
file(WRITE "${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/tmp.cmake" "BAR_${FOO}(arg1 arg2)")
include(${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/tmp.cmake)
You may need to do some quoting and/or escaping to get things working depending
on how complex arg1 and arg2 are in reality.
This sort of "eval" functionality has been requested (and denied ;-) before:

Hello
I would like to call a method based on a variable name such as
set( FOO "123")
BAR_${FOO}(arg1 arg2)
would do the same as
BAR_123(arg1 arg2)
Does any way exist to do this in CMake, such as a call() or eval() command?
