On Windows, CMake will use the backslash
\
as the default character to compose the prefix path. However, when it is passed to the template, the\
means differently as the escape character in Python. Therefore, a wrong string will be used in such case.Currently, to workaround it, one needs to explicitly define the prefix path like
set CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=c:/opt/ros/noetic
.This pull request is to use the raw string literal to remove the need of using forward slash in such case, so the default CMake would work directly with
catkin
.
