[CMake] Problem in escape sequence while add_definition.

[David Cole]

add_definitions( -DSTORE="XYZ" )

should do what you want.

If you have a cmake_minimum_required of at least version 2.6, then the
cmake_policy call is unnecessary -- it is simply implied by the minimum
required version of CMake for 2.6 and later.

What version of CMake are you using?
What OS and compiler?
