Gradle with cmake doesn't escape the generator parameter, hence cmake is failing

Old Forum

in my gradle build, I’m encountering the following:

:generateProjectLinuxX64Debug FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

  • What went wrong: Execution failed for task ‘:generateProjectLinuxX64Debug’. > Command finished with non-zero exit value (1):

cmake -DDO_NOT_TREAT_WARNINGS_AS_ERRORS=ON -DDO_NOT_USE_LTO=ON -DGRADLE=true -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -G Eclipse CDT4 - Unix Makefiles …/…/…

the reason this is failing is that the parameter “Eclipse CDT4 - Unix Makefiles” is not escaped, and thus the error message from cmake is:

CMake Error: Could not create named generator Eclipse

because it only interprets the first word of the -G parameter as the parameter

wonder how this can be fixed, so that the above call is made the following way:

cmake -DDO_NOT_TREAT_WARNINGS_AS_ERRORS=ON -DDO_NOT_USE_LTO=ON -DGRADLE=true -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -G “Eclipse CDT4 - Unix Makefiles” …/…/…

this is on ubuntu linux 13.10 x86_64

What type of task is ‘:generateProjectLinuxX64Debug’?

please disregard. the issue was an outdated version of cmake
