Issue

I wish to replicate in CMake the following:

#define mydef a, b, c

However

target_compile_definitions(myproject PRIVATE mydef="a, b, c")

seems to result in

#define mydef "a, b, c"

What would be the correct syntax to achieve the desired result?

Solution

You need to quote the whole parameter including the name of the symbol you want to define:

target_compile_definitions(myproject PRIVATE "mydef=a, b, c")
