Hello, Recently I migrated from cmake 2.8.12 to cmake 3.8 and FILE(TIMESTAMP ...) behaviour changed. Now it reports symbolic link timestamp instead of pointed file timestamp.
Looking through CMake documentation, it seems I could workaround this issue using the command get_filename_component which documentation states there is a parameter that seems to fix my problem: REALPATH = Full path to existing file with symlinks resolved However, it does not resolves symlinks under Windows. I am working on a patch to fix both get_filename_compoment and FILE(TIMESTAMP ...) and make their behaviour consistent among architectures (under unix systems symlinks are resolve in the refered commands). What troubles me is that symlink under Windows is a feature introduced in Windows Vista and the change for handling them will break Windows XP compatibility. Is this acceptable? Regards.
