[CMake] Bug when $ is in the directory path

[Peng Yu]

Hi,

I have the following example copied from the cmake Tests/Tutorial
directory. cmake works fine.



/tmp/xxx/src$ cat.sh *
==> CMakeLists.txt <==
cmake_minimum_required (VERSION 2.6)
project (Tutorial)

# The version number.
set (Tutorial_VERSION_MAJOR 1)
set (Tutorial_VERSION_MINOR 0)

# configure a header file to pass some of the CMake settings
# to the source code
configure_file (
  "${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/TutorialConfig.h.in"
  "${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/TutorialConfig.h"
  )

# add the binary tree to the search path for include files
# so that we will find TutorialConfig.h
include_directories("${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}")

# add the executable
add_executable(tutorial.exe tutorial.cpp)

==> TutorialConfig.h.in <==
// the configured options and settings for Tutorial
#define Tutorial_VERSION_MAJOR ${Tutorial_VERSION_MAJOR}
#define Tutorial_VERSION_MINOR ${Tutorial_VERSION_MINOR}


==> tutorial.cpp <==
// A simple program that computes the square root of a number
#include <stdio.h>
#include "TutorialConfig.h"

int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
    fprintf(stdout,"%s Version %d.%d\n",
            argv[0],
            Tutorial_VERSION_MAJOR,
            Tutorial_VERSION_MINOR);
  return 0;
}


When I mv xxx to '$'
/tmp/$$ dir
build  src

I get the following error. This is must be due to a bug in cmake such
that it can not handle directory path with '$' in it. Could anybody
fix it? Thanks!
