There are lots of questions on this CMake variable and the consensus
is DO NOT USE IT. PERIOD. The implementation is basically broken for
all but the most trivial case.

Hi all,
I tried to use:
set(CMAKE_USE_RELATIVE_PATHS ON)
in my CMakeLists.txt.
But I noticed, that some cmake variables can't be changed in that
way.
In the CMakeCache.txt, it is still OFF?
I have no idea about CMAKE_USE_RELATIVE_PATHS since I have never
needed/wanted to use that however for the other cases that it appears
the CMake does not let me change a value I usually get around this
using the following examples:
SET (CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX ${PGM_FILES}/UPMC/${CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME}
CACHE STRING "Default Install Path" FORCE)
IF (MAKE_DEBUGRELEASE)
SET (CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES "Debug;RelWithDebInfo" CACHE STRING
"Debug;RelWithDebInfo" FORCE)
SET (RELEASE_BUILD_NAME "RelWithDebInfo")
ELSE(MAKE_DEBUGRELEASE)
SET (CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES "Debug;Release" CACHE STRING
"Debug;Release" FORCE)
SET (RELEASE_BUILD_NAME "Release")
ENDIF (MAKE_DEBUGRELEASE)
The keys are CACHE and FORCE.
John
