Windows path conventions and CMake
Posted: Wed Jan 21, 2009 8:39 pm
This is not really a bug, but nevertheless I would like to share this knowledge with you:
Windows allows semicolons (";") to be used in paths and filenames. At the same time CMake uses semicolons to store lists in strings...
Bottom line is that you cannot run CMake with a semicolon in any of your relevant paths.
So when you encounter strange problems with CMake on a Windows box, be aware...
