On case-insensitive file systems, there's also the "what if it exists, but not with matching case?" problem. What was intended. Sure, CMake will currently just leave it alone, but does the file exist? Is the file on disk a typo? I don't think CMake can make that decision. --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.
