Hi Alan,
with cmake 2.8.12.1 I can confirm this behavior at least for Makefile
generator on Linux, see the attached small CMakeLists.txt. But what would be
a better behavior? Changing the target name would change the output at end.
So the user would have to figure out, what changed why. At this point, I
would prefer the current behavior, because cmake does at least with the
Makefile generator, the same thing as the user writes.
So the warning is appropriate.
Absolutely! For now, a warning is essential because bad things could
happen for target names with slashes in them that propagate to the
filename level on Unix platforms. But all I am saying is in the
long-term it would be a good idea to make it impossible for those bad
things to happen so the current constraints on what is allowed for
target names could be relaxed.
