The following issue has been SUBMITTED. ====================================================================== http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=13490 ====================================================================== Reported By: sigma Assigned To: ====================================================================== Project: CMake Issue ID: 13490 Category: CPack Reproducibility: always Severity: major Priority: normal Status: new ====================================================================== Date Submitted: 2012-08-25 17:11 EDT Last Modified: 2012-08-25 17:11 EDT ====================================================================== Summary: CMAKE_ERROR_ON_ABSOLUTE_INSTALL_DESTINATION not honored Description: When I set CMAKE_ERROR_ON_ABSOLUTE_INSTALL_DESTINATION to OFF this is not honored. I am basically trying to use it with CPack:
SET(CPACK_INSTALL_COMMANDS "cmake -DCMAKE_ERROR_ON_ABSOLUTE_INSTALL_DESTINATION=OFF -DCPACK_ERROR_ON_ABSOLUTE_INSTALL_DESTINATION=OFF -P cmake_install.cmake") so as to overcome the very annoying fatal error: ... ABSOLUTE path INSTALL DESTINATION forbidden (by caller): ... Some of my install(FILES .. DESTINATION ... ) use absolute paths, but I am not even sure why installing files with an absolute path as the install destination would be a fatal error, if anything it should be a warning at most. cmake_install.cmake has checks for these variables, but they are always set to 1. Is there another way to set these variables to 0 (OFF) that works? Is there a way to convert absolute to relative paths? ====================================================================== Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 2012-08-25 17:11 sigma New Issue ====================================================================== -- 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://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cmake-developers
