This looks as if it is a **make** error not a CMake one. Are you able build a simplistic project on this machine? (try one with which only does install(FILES somefile.txt DESTINATION .) ...) Is "xyz.application.minimum_drag_install" a custom target of yours? I did find trace of similar error here http://www.redantigua.com/msys-win.html in that case it seems that a bad mix of "make" command from MSYS or mingw32 or unxutil was the culprit. is the "epd-make" the one that comes with your MSYS install ? > PS.

Nope, it would break backward compatibility, you can dig the ML for discussion about that "issue". My opinion is that building in-source is a bad habit that ought to be discouraged but the fact is, this is not currently easy to enforce out-of-source: http://www.cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=6672 -- Erk Le gouvernement représentatif n'est pas la démocratie -- http://www.le-message.org -- 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://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
