Additional Information: the dependency of 'get_filename_component' to 'CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR' was mentioned in issue https://cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=2797. ====================================================================== Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 2016-05-01 12:36 regnirpsj New 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.
