All,

I want to create a patch that modifies two *.desktop files during compile time. What is the correct syntax to use for the cmake variable in the *.desktop files?

For example:

Exec=%CMAKE_VARIABLE%

Thanks. :-)

Is it still actual? Anyway... for future generations... the syntax is:

Exec=@CMAKE_VARIABLE@

The desktop file is supposed to have ".cmake" extension. In CMakeLists.txt use configure_file() statement.

You can use e.g. tdebase/kdesktop/kdesktop.desktop.cmake as an example...

I think it is not. The question was intended for bug 853, which is already fixed in commit 7d6186b5. Precisely in this way that you describe.
