Thank you guys - it works perfectly, that is exactly what I was looking for. I was just confused by using SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES( ... DEFINE_SYMBOL / COMPILE_FLAGS ...).

I have another question concerning Visual Studio and SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES. Is there a way to specify a working directory for a debugging session in Visual Studio?

I tried:

SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(shortDemo PROPERTIES DEBUG_LOCATION "${GPDemos_SOURCE_DIR}/bin")

but it does not work.
I would like to debug/start my executable from within Visual Studio. I build the executable in a directory named project_root/bin. Unfortunately I am not able to start my application in the right way (all relative paths seem to be wrong) unless I have defined a proper working directory for Debug in Visual Studio project settings.

Thank you so much,
Mick
