     -------------
+    - Fixed syntax of generator expressions used by CMake
+
+      Add quotes around the generator expression should allow CMake to
+      correctly parse the expression. Generator expressions are typically
+      parsed after command arguments. If a generator expression contains
+      spaces, new lines, semicolons or other characters that may be
+      interpreted as command argument separators, the whole expression
