<br>
  On windows, I pass CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX on the command line e.g.<br>
&quot;-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=c:\some\path&quot;.  In my cmake code I use<br>
variable which contain the suffixes  /lib, /man/man1 etc...<br>
<br>
The install commands end up looking like this,<br>
<br>
  C:\some\path/man/man1/some_man_file<br>
<br>
In 2.4 this appears to work, in 2.6 it throws an error about invalid<br>
escape sequences.<br>
<br>
I have tried to use<br>
<br>
FILE(TO_CMAKE_PATH &quot;${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}&quot; TEMP_PREFIX)<br>
SET(CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX &quot;${TEMP_PREFIX}&quot; CACHE INTERNAL &quot;my prefix&quot;)<br>
<br>
But that doesn&#39;t seem to stick, I suspect it&#39;s because I am passing it<br>
in on the command line.<br>
<br>
What is the best way to deal with this?<br>
<br>
TIA,<br>
George<br>
