I'm trying to use CMake with an admittedly odd toolchain (Adobe's Alchemy project) and it's failing at configure time while detecting the C/C++ ABI info with the error "CMake Error: Could not COPY_FILE"
I'm sure this is a bug in the toolchain and not CMake, but I'm not sure how to diagnose it. How would I go about debugging this? What is CMake doing at this step? Is there a "verbose" mode for configuration so I can see the params its passing the gcc?
