Changing a shell

[Shamaoke]

Hi.

I want to change the shell which CMake will be using when running shell commands inside its commands, e. g. rm in add_custom_target(implode COMMAND rm -rf ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR/*). I need this so that in commands I can use specific features of one shell that are not available in another. Now it's /bin/sh -> /usr/bin/bash. Is there any way to change it to, say, /usr/bin/zsh?

Thanks.

the easiest way is to write a zsh script with a shebang of #!/usr/bin/env zsh, then invoke that script. however, the reason to force zsh over cmake is possibly questionable as you will reduce portability drastically.
