[CMake] Windows registry

Wed Aug 1 08:54:22 EDT 2007

Trying to read an installation path from the windows registry:

SET(FBXSDK_ROOT_PATH 
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\FBX\\File SDK 2006.11.1;Install_Dir] 
CACHE PATH "FBX")

and then using the variable FBXSDK_ROOT_PATH to setup the
include and lib directories.

INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(
${FBXSDK_ROOT_PATH}/include)
LINK_DIRECTORIES(${FBXSDK_ROOT_PATH}/lib)

But nothing seems to happen. The variable FBXSDK_ROOT_PATH got just the value :
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\FBX\\File SDK 2006.11.1;Install_Dir] like a simple string.

I tried also using the syntax :

SET(FBXSDK_ROOT_PATH 
"[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\FBX\\File SDK 2006.11.1;Install_Dir]"
CACHE PATH "FBX")

but nothing has changed.

What's wrong with it ?

thank you,

Bera
