Re: [CMake] CMake target_link_libraries items should be quoted or not? Linux/Ubuntu 14.04 cmake 3.4.1

Hi, yes, that is indeed expected behaviour. target_link_libraries() takes a CMake list of arguments - one library per argument. When you surround the thing with quotes, it's a single argument (containing some spaces). So for this call: target_link_libraries(Debug "${VTK_LIBRARIES}

Reading docs trying to understand why my build works when I write target_link_libraries(Debug ${VTK_LIBRARIES} -lsri-spatialfft -lsri-spatial -lsri-memory) but does not work when everything is protected in quotes: target_link_libraries(Debug "${VTK_LIBRARIES} -lsri-spatialfft -lsri-spatial
