Re: [CMake] passing a URL to cmake on the command line

[Szilárd Páll]

Hi,

My bad, looks like we had an offending line in our CMake scripts, something like

set(MY_URL
"http://default-url.com/foobar.tar.gz; CACHE PATH
"URL from where to download")

The PATH type seems to have caused the issue rather than the mechanism
of passing the URL to on the bash command line to cmake.

Thanks for the quick feedback!

Cheers,

Hi Szilard,

I tried it in CMake 3.10 and it works fine(No slash is dropped).  Which
version of CMake are you using?
