This might just be a filesystem error when writing the configured header file. 
I would try message() printing the value of ${exportHeader} and 
${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR} before calling GEH to make sure the filepath looks 
valid and writeable.

[CMake] Error from GenerateExportHeader.cmake (configure_file)

[Miroslav Drahos]

Hi,

I am getting errors emanating from GenerateExportHeader.cmake and hope someone 
has any pointers on this. The error:


CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-3.5/Modules/GenerateExportHeader.cmake:362 
(configure_file):
  configure_file Problem configuring file
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  /usr/share/cmake-3.5/Modules/GenerateExportHeader.cmake:378 
(_do_generate_export_header)
  
/slave/workspace/build-1.7.0/aurissw/Main/CMake/AsrCreateLibraryMacro.cmake:161 
(generate_export_header)


The relevant portion of the custom AsrCreateLibraryMacro.cmake is pretty 
standard, according to cmake docs:


  unset(exportMacro)
  string(TOUPPER ${TARGET} exportMacro)
  set(exportMacro "${exportMacro}_DLLSPEC")
  set(exportHeader ${TARGET}_export.h)
  generate_export_header(${TARGET}
BASE_NAME ${TARGET}
EXPORT_MACRO_NAME ${exportMacro}
EXPORT_FILE_NAME ${exportHeader}
)

where TARGET is always set to a valid string (library name).

The error is not consistent among machines -- on some machines this error is 
never seen, on others, it consistently fails. All of these machines run a 
pretty standard Linux distribution (most of them Ubuntu 16.04), and use the 
same cmake 3.5.1.

Here is the system version that we are using:
Linux version 4.4.0-36-generic (buildd@lcy01-01) (gcc version 5.4.0 20160609 
(Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.2) ) #55-Ubuntu SMP Thu Aug 11 18:01:55 UTC 2016
We have a machine with the exact same system version that builds fine and a 
machine that cmake consistently fails.

Has anyone experienced a similar error? Any clues on what may be the problem?
Thank you tons,
Miro
