Thank you for the explanation.
But wouldn't it then make more sense to throw a warning like
"Warning: you are using a free version of Visual Studio which doesn't
contain distributable libraries. You will only be able to run the
binaries on your own computer. If you want to distribute the binaries
you need to install the full version."
rather than the following cryptic message?
system runtime library file does not exist:
'MSVC10_REDIST_DIR-NOTFOUND/x86/Microsoft.VC100.CRT/msvcr100.dll'
Call Stack (most recent call first):
cmake/modules/RootCPack.cmake:9 (include)
CMakeLists.txt:107 (include)
When I first saw the message I thought it was an error and that I
wouldn't be able to compile the software at all.
My second feature request will probably be to use a different colour
for warnings than for errors in cmake-gui ;)
Thank you,
Mojca
