<p class=MsoNormal>Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>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, $(FrameworkDir), I want to pass the following compiler options
verbatim to Visual Studio:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=SV>/FU </span><span lang=SV>$(FrameworkDir)/v2.0.50727/System.dll<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=SV><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=SV>But if I go<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=SV><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>ADD_DEFINES( /FU $(FrameworkDir)/v2.0.50727/System.dll ),<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>, what I end up with in Visual Studio is <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>/FU “$”(FrameworkDir)/v2.0.50727/System.dll<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>, which obviously is not going to work.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>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 .<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Jarl.<o:p></o:p></p>
