I noticed that if I have a buried CMakeLists.txt file which contains the following
file(GLOB_RECURSE DICOM_TEST_SERVER_SRC src *.cpp ) and INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES( include ) Where src contains cpp files and include contains include files CMake uses absolute paths for include path, but relative directories for the source. examples produced by cmake: src: Creating temporary file "c:\projects\NIH2009\source\branches\trunk\build\dvip4-Win64\cpp_source\app\dicomserver\dvipdicomsvr.dir\Debug\RSP00006D57442788.rsp" with contents [ /Od /I "C:\projects\NIH2009\source\branches\trunk\source\cpp\lib\3rdParty\Win\NVIDIA_GPU_Computing_SDK_2.2\common\inc" /I "C:\projects\NIH2009\source\branches\trunk\build\Windows-6.1\install\include" /I "C:\projects\NIH2009\source\branches\trunk\source\cpp\app\testing\dicomserver\include" /I "C:\projects\NIH2009\source\branches\trunk\source\cpp\lib\3rdParty\Win\CUDA_Toolkit_2.2\include" /D "WIN32" /D "_WINDOWS" /D "_DEBUG" /D "CMAKE_INTDIR=\"Debug\"" /D "_MBCS" /Gm /EHsc /RTC1 /MTd /Fo"dvipdicomsvr.dir\Debug\\" /Fd"C:/projects/NIH2009/source/branches/trunk/build/Windows-6.1/ouput/bin/Debug/dvipdicomsvr.pdb" /W3 /c /Zi /TP /Zm1000 "..\..\..\..\..\source\cpp\app\testing\dicomserver\src\main.cpp" "..\..\..\..\..\source\cpp\app\testing\dicomserver\src\dcmtksvr.cpp" ] include: C:\projects\NIH2009\source\branches\trunk\source\cpp\app\testing\dicomserver\include Why? Why I care: Lets say that I someone wants to check the Visual Studio project goop produced by CMake in trunk and check out in a diffrent directory in their branch on another machine. With absolute paths sprinkled all over effectively makes this impossible. -- Brian J. Davis
