CMake version: 2.6.3

History
#1 Updated by Roland Landertshamer about 15 years ago
- Status changed from New to Closed
- Resolution set to fixed
Following errors were detected:
1) the backslash (followed by a character) is interpreted by cmake as escape sequence
2) the spaces are interpreted as separators between different definitions
Possible solutions:
1) either use double backslash (\\) instead of single ones for path separation or you can use a single slash (/) instead of a backslash.
2) escape the spaces with a single backslash so that cmake can interpret it correctly
e.g.:
set (OPENSG_DIR C:\\Program\ Documents\\OpenSG)
set (OPENSG_DIR C:/Program\ Documents/OpenSG)
