[Cmake] Re: Escape Characters VS and Unix

[William A. Hoffman]

The escaping is not the problem.  The variable $(InputDir) is part
of the visual studio IDE, and is not part of CMake, and would not be
expanded on Unix.

To be portable you should use the project_SOURCE_DIR and project_BINARY_DIR 
variables that cmake defines.  For example:

ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND(OUTPUT
  ${bit_streamer_BINARY_DIR}/AddressTableParser.cpp 
  COMMAND java
  ARGS -classpath ${THIRD_PARTY_PATH}lib/vc/antlr.jar antlr.Tool -o
  ${bit_streamer_BINARY_DIR}   ${bit_streamer_SOURCE_DIR}/AddressTable.g
  MAIN_DEPENDENCY ${bit_streamer_SOURCE_DIR}/AddressTable.g
  )
