Alex Well, I don't know how many variables might be affected by this. Maybe it's breaking more things that it's supposed to fix. I was just wondering, because I ran into this problem more than once. Besides, you do not have to specify the absolute path to the CMakeLists.txt file you're feeding to cmake (I agree, though, that that's not exactly the same thing.)
