For non-CMake project (especially VS native ones) you could use ${CMAKE_CFG_INT_DIR} variable instead (<a href="http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/cmake-2-8-docs.html#variable:CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR">http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/cmake-2-8-docs.html#variable:CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR</a>)<div>
<br></div><div>It will be evaluated into current solution's configuration. However please note that in this case configurations in CMake should be the same as in nested project.</div><div><br></div><div>And may be I misunderstood your question, but BUILD_COMMAND in external project should work without extra quotes (that is msbuild '/p:Configuraion' ...). I suppose /p gets converted to \p because CMake interprets this whole string as path to binary and converts path separator to native form (which is back-slash on windows).<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
I'm trying to build Google protocol buffers as an external project on<br>
Windows and am hitting an issue with over assuming something is a path.<br>
<br>
<br>
I need to be able to call msbuild with options. (/p:Configuration=Debug),<br>
but cmake converts this to \p:Configuration=Debug before passing the<br>
string to msbuild.<br>
<br>

This might work:<br>
<br>
cmake --build path/to/project --config Debug<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br>
