The following issue has been SUBMITTED. ====================================================================== http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=13950 ====================================================================== Reported By: Michael Riss Assigned To: ====================================================================== Project: CMake Issue ID: 13950 Category: Modules Reproducibility: always Severity: minor Priority: normal Status: new ====================================================================== Date Submitted: 2013-02-25 07:48 EST Last Modified: 2013-02-25 07:48 EST ====================================================================== Summary: FindBoost.cmake declares Boost_LIBRARY_DIRS as FILEPATH Description: FindBoost.cmake declares the variable "Boost_LIBRARY_DIRS" as FILEPATH, thereby instructing cmake-gui to search for a file instead of a directory. => the file requester function of cmake-gui cannot be used to choose the "Boost_LIBRARY_DIRS" directory
Suggestion: Change the type of the variable "Boost_LIBRARY_DIRS" in FindBoost.cmake from FILEPATH to PATH. Caution: The variable is declared in two locations in FindBoost.cmake, so two lines need to be edited. Steps to Reproduce: - use "find_package( Boost )" in a CMakeLists.txt file - configure the project with cmake-gui - try to change the Boost_LIBRARY_DIRS variable using the FileRequester button => it's not possible to choose a directory, as the FileRequester wants to choose a file Additional Information: Workaround: it's still possible to set the directory path manually in cmake-gui with the line edit field. PS: I did the suggested changes and now I can select the directory also with the file requester. ====================================================================== Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 2013-02-25 07:48 Michael Riss New Issue ====================================================================== -- Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cmake-developers
