How do I expand CMake list to multiple values?

Question

I would like to use list operation with REMOVE_ITEM and multiple values in order to remove the file names of temporary files which are created by Emacs.

aux_source_directory(${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/src SOURCES) file(GLOB TMP_FILES "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/src/.#*") list(REMOVE_ITEM SOURCES TMP_FILES)

But list does not accept list as an argument, so the example above does not work as expected.

How do I expand a list to multiple values in this case?

In the list command you want the value of the variable TMP_FILES so you should use :

list(REMOVE_ITEM SOURCES ${TMP_FILES})
