[CMake] SET_CXX_COMPILER

[Sören Freudiger]

Hi folks

two questions:

1. my macro:
  MACRO(SET_CXX_COMPILER compiler)
    SET(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER ${compiler} CACHE STRING "C++ compiler" FORCE)
  ENDMACRO(SET_CXX_COMPILER)

and my implementation:
  SET_CXX_COMPILER("distcc mpicxx")
  
results in a build.cmake file with

  distcc\ mpicxx ...

the problem is the backslash "\" before the blank. How can the be avoided?
Like this I cannot execute make.

2. why does the compiler not change at the build.cmake file by changing the
C++ compiler within the advanced options in ccmake? I can set the compiler
within ccmake e.g. to gcc, but I always get the "c++"-compiler at the build
file?
(of course only if I am not using my SET_CXX_COMPILER macro...). 

Hoping for answers,
