This is only true for in-source builds. CMake recommends out-of-source,
and then full paths are much more reliable. Even if one used relative
paths then your messages would still have a bunch of "../" in them for
an out-of-source build. Therefore I'll assume you're using in-source
builds.
Side note: To make relative paths behave right with __FILE__ you would
also need all include paths (-I) to be relative. Otherwise headers will
still get full paths. This would require much more work than just
trying to get compile lines to refer to source files with a relative
path.
So, assuming you have an in-source build then all sources and headers
must sit under a single prefix (the top of the source tree). With that
you can do something like:
string(LENGTH "${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/" SRC_DIR_LEN)
add_definitions(-DSRC_DIR_LEN=${SRC_DIR_LEN})
and then in the source code do:
#define MY__FILE__ (__FILE__+SRC_DIR_LEN)
That will give you a compile-time constant __FILE__ with a relative path
and no runtime overhead. Use MY__FILE__ in your log macros.
