[CMake] Issues with execute_process and svn

[David Cole]

Take the double quotes off the set commands for your args variables.
And put spaces in between the dereferences of those vars in the
execute_process command.

Like this:

# No double quotes here:
if(NOT $ENV{CMAKE_SVN_USERNAME} STREQUAL "")
  set(_SvnCredPart --no-auth-cache)
  set(_SvnUserPart --username $ENV{CMAKE_SVN_USERNAME})
endif()
if(NOT $ENV{CMAKE_SVN_PASSWORD} STREQUAL "")
  set(_SvnCredPart --no-auth-cache)
  set(_SvnPassPart --password $ENV{CMAKE_SVN_PASSWORD})
endif()

# Spaces in between dereferenced vars here:
execute_process(COMMAND "${svnexe}" --non-interactive
  ${_SvnCredPart} ${_SvnUserPart} ${_SvnPassPart}
  info .
  OUTPUT_VARIABLE _out
  ERROR_VARIABLE _err
  RESULT_VARIABLE _res)

message(STATUS "out: ${_out}")
message(STATUS "err: ${_err}")
message(STATUS "res: ${_res}")


HTH,
David
