The following issue has been SUBMITTED. ====================================================================== http://www.cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=15403 ====================================================================== Reported By: Laurent Demailly Assigned To: ====================================================================== Project: CMake Issue ID: 15403 Category: CMake Reproducibility: always Severity: text Priority: normal Status: new ====================================================================== Date Submitted: 2015-02-11 18:03 PST Last Modified: 2015-02-11 18:03 PST ====================================================================== Summary: configure_file documentation could be more useful by specifing exactly where the files are generated Description: configure_file doc's ( http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.1/command/configure_file.html )
would be more useful if we changed "If <output> is a relative path it is evaluated with respect to the current binary directory." to one of "If <output> is a relative path it is evaluated with respect to the current binary directory (CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR)" or "If <output> is a relative path it is evaluated with respect to the current binary directory (PROJECT_BINARY_DIR)" or whichever _BINARY_DIR is the correct one (which is also not super clear in the doc of those) Adding an example of which include_directories to use to use said generated file (which is often a .h) would be great (a bit like http://www.cmake.org/cmake-tutorial/ ) ====================================================================== Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 2015-02-11 18:03 Laurent DemaillyNew Issue ====================================================================== -- 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.
