Hi Tom: I have now dealt with this issue (see commit db396b9). Please look at that commit message for the detailed explanation. Bottom line though, is we rely on sharp-eyed users or developers to pay close attention whenever there is a CMP0054 related warning because it is normally a sure sign that our CMake code is no longer working correctly (e.g., this case) because of a subtle name clash. In this case the variable called "c" was defined by CMake-3.7.0, and that nameclashed with our previous logic if(BINDING STREQUAL "c") As soon as we adopt a minimum version of CMake that is not in the dark ages, CMP0054 will automatically take on the NEW behaviour (anything in quotes within an if statement will not be dereferenced) and these nasty and completely unexpected nameclashes will be a thing of the past!
