This is a follow up to the message ("Setting variables in CMakeLists.txt")
that I posted on April 30th, 2009.
I am now using cmake 2.8.0 and the CMAKE_USE_RELATIVE_PATHS variable still
does not work. It does work for in-source builds (when I build the object
files inside the 'src' directory) but it does not work for out-of-source
builds.
The cmake documentation does specify that CMAKE_USE_RELATIVE_PATHS may not
work in complex projects but my project could not be simpler (see below).

All directories reside on a local disk. When I build from the build
directory, the gcc compiler uses absolute pathnames no matter what value the
CMAKE_USE_RELATIVE_PATHS variable is set at. This means that the __FILE__
macro uses absolute pathnames, which totally screws up the log files.
Will this ever be fixed or should I give up on out-of-source builds?
You should give up on CMAKE_USE_RELATIVE_PATHS , and we should deprecate
it from CMake. It just does not work, and frustrates people.
