[CMake] SET(ENV {environment_variable} {value])

[Richard Fuchs]

I need to set an environment variable so I'm doing this:

SET(ENV{ACE_ROOT} 
"/work/secore-dev/secore/external/ACE_TAO/ACE_wrappers/ace")

but after cmake is run and the Makefiles are generated, I do an env and 
the environment variable ACE_ROOT is not set.

When the documentation refers to an environment variable, is it 
referring to an internal cmake environment variable?

VAR can be an environment variable such as:

  SET( ENV{PATH} /home/martink )

in which case the environment variable will be set.


Thanks
Richard
