How to set PUBLIC_HEADER to a list of files?

I am building a shared library written in C++. It is made of 2 classes hence 2 source files and 2 header files. In addition, a 3rd header file includes the 2 others for simplicity of use. So I want to install 3 public headers.

The problem is that the PUBLIC_HEADER property is set to the 1st file only, instead of a list of 3 files (comma separated string). I checked it with get_target_property(). As a consequence, only this file is copied. The FRAMEWORK property doesn't seem to change anything.

Eventually, I managed to copy them all with install(FILES), but it does not seem to be very clean. How can I improve this ?

CMake version: 3.16.

set(RST_PUBLIC_HEADERS
    "rst.hpp"
    "CPrbs.hpp"
    "CRstController.hpp"
    )
set_target_properties( ${PROJECT_NAME} PROPERTIES
    VERSION ${PROJECT_VERSION}
    FRAMEWORK TRUE
    PUBLIC_HEADER ${RST_PUBLIC_HEADERS}
    )
install(TARGETS ${PROJECT_NAME}
    LIBRARY DESTINATION lib
    PUBLIC_HEADER DESTINATION include/lib${PROJECT_NAME}
    )
cmake

Does wrapping the variable in quotes address your problem?

set_target_properties( ${PROJECT_NAME} PROPERTIES
    VERSION ${PROJECT_VERSION}
    FRAMEWORK TRUE
    PUBLIC_HEADER "${RST_PUBLIC_HEADERS}"
)
