Re: [CMake] access absolute path of parent directory

2011-08-09 Thread Vinay Raj Hampapur
Sure.
Here is what I have(I've tried it with double quotes as well):

set(Bob /..)
set(Dave   ${Bob}/Dave)
set(D_src ${Dave/Dave.cpp)

... and corresponding add executable command at which point the following
error is produced:

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:100 (add_executable):

Cannot find source file:

/../Dave/Dave.cpp

Tried extensions .c .C .c++ .cc .cpp .cxx .m .M .mm .h .hh .h++ .hm .hpp

.hxx .in .txx




Let me know if you would need more information.
Thanks for your help,
Vinay

[CMake] access absolute path of parent directory

2011-08-09 Thread Vinay Raj Hampapur
Hello,
  I've been trying to access the parent directory by using
CMakeLists.txt. However, the  "../" or ".." or "/../" notations don't access
said parent directory.
Thank you,
Vinay
