Actually, neither.  I couldn't get them to work and went to plan B.
:-) I have a directory structure like:

top-level/
  +latex/
    +latex/build/
  +figures/

So, my figures are in figures/.  I thought this would do:

IMAGE_DIRS "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/../figures/"

but it wasn't working for me  I also tried IMAGES and that didn't work
as well.  I didn't pursue this further as I got:

\graphicspath{{@CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR@/../figures/}}

in the source LaTeX file to work and all my figures are in EPS format
anyway.  I will take a look at my imagemagick installation; but it
might also be that the figures aren't being located.

Yes, I've enabled that but I don't think that allows me to choose the
"pdf" target over the "safepdf" target.  Or is there something I'm
missing with this option?

Thank you!
