Hi, I am trying to build the CMake project 3dtk with the following CMakeLists.txt: https://sourceforge.net/p/slam6d/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/CMakeLists.txt
This works well on linux with ccmake and also on windows with cmake-gui. Now I'm trying to let it work on windows with the cmake command line program to automate the configuration. Unfortunately I'm running into a problem with cmake on windows that I did not encounter with cmake-gui. The CMakeLists.txt file at several occasions uses the add_subdirectory directive but always without the second argument (the build_dir). This seems to work fine for cmake-gui on windows and ccmake on linux. But with cmake on windows I now get the following message for every add_subdirectory directive: CMake Error at Z:/CMakeLists.txt:471 (add_subdirectory): add_subdirectory not given a binary directory but the given source directory "Z:/src/slam6d" is not a subdirectory of "Z:/". When specifying an out-of-tree source a binary directory must be explicitly specified. This error message is also strange because clearly, "Z:/src/slam6d" is a subdirectory of "Z:/". I would like to know the command line option that I have to supply to cmake on windows to get the same behaviour as with cmake-gui on windows. In my case, the source is in Z:/ and in cmake-gui I specify "Z:/lib64-msvc-12.0" as the value of "Where to build the binaries" and as explained above this works completely well. But after successfully configuring and generating the project in "Z:/lib64-msvc-12.0" using the cmake-gui method, when I cd into "Z:/lib64-msvc-12.0" and just run "cmake .." I get the error messages above. Same happens when I create a new directory "Z:/cmaketest", cd into it and then run "cmake ..", I again get the errors above. So in summary, with or without an existing CMakeCache.txt, I'm running into the error messages above on windows when using cmake (and not cmake-gui). So I suspect that I'm missing an option to cmake to make it behave like cmake-gui. I don't think my CMakeLists.txt is the culprit because that one works totally fine on linux and also works well with cmake-gui. What could the problem be? Thanks! cheers, josch
