[CMake] Unwanted quoting of $

[Jarl Lindrud]

| 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 .

Just $$. I had the same problem and googled it here:

I tried that and it doesn't work either. I've also tried cmake 2.4.8, no luck with that either. I'm using the VS2008 generator.

Essentially, this means that it is impossible for me to get the following string into the compiler command line, as seen in Visual Studio:

/FU $(FrameworkDir)/v2.0.50727/System.dll

Whether I use ADD_DEFINES or SET_SOURCE_FILES_PROPERTIES, and regardless of any cmake escaping mechanism I've tried (e.g. \$, $$), what I get in Visual Studio is 

/FU "$"(FrameworkDir)/v2.0.50727/System.dll

Strangely, if the $ is part of a /D compiler switch, then it _is_ passed through verbatim. But not for any other compiler switch.

This appears to be a bug to me. Should I file it somewhere? 

Regards,
Jarl.
