It's both :) . FileExists is implemented using access() rather than something like lstat(), so that would indeed be not a "program" since the file doesn't "exist". It was on my list to fix, but the backwards compatibility argument (IIRC) made it near impossible to change. --Ben -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
