[Cdash] OPTIONS parameter of the ctest_configure() command

[David Cole]

Separate with semi-colons instead of spaces within the double quotes...

Something like:
  OPTIONS
"-DVENDOR_DIR=D:/vendors;-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=d:/regress/unit/transpire/target;-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release"

Or:
set(options
  -DVENDOR_DIR=D:/vendors
  -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=d:/regress/unit/transpire/target
  -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
)
...
OPTIONS "${options}"


HTH,
David
