[CMake] Unwanted quoting of $

[Jarl Lindrud]

Hi,

 

I've run into a problem trying to pass command line parameters to Visual
C++, that contain the $ character. I'm building a C++/CLI module, and
need to reference some .NET assemblies, with the /FU compiler option.
Since Visual Studio stores the installation location of .NET in one of
its own macros,  $(FrameworkDir), I want to pass the following compiler
options verbatim to Visual Studio:

 

/FU $(FrameworkDir)/v2.0.50727/System.dll

 

But if I go

 

ADD_DEFINES( /FU $(FrameworkDir)/v2.0.50727/System.dll ),

 

, what I end up with in Visual Studio is 

 

/FU "$"(FrameworkDir)/v2.0.50727/System.dll

 

, which obviously is not going to work.

 

So what do I need to do to pass a $ character through to Visual Studio,
without the quotes? I'm using cmake 2.6.0 .

 

Thanks,

Jarl.
