Summary0010072: invalid binary path if makefile in root directory
DescriptionOS: windows server 2008
cmake 2.6, 2.8

I try to build my project with following command:
k:\output> cmake k:\
(structure of my build scripts requires sources to be in root directory of disk)
In this case subprojects binary directories are generated in error form
k:/outputsubproj1
k:/outputsubproj2
instead of
k:/output/subproj1
k:/output/subproj2
It turned out that there is a bug in cmake-2.6.4\Source\cmAddSubDirectoryCommand.cxx : 130
Debugging code
...
    cmSystemTools::ReplaceString(binPath,
                                 this->Makefile->GetCurrentDirectory(),
                                 this->Makefile->GetCurrentOutputDirectory());
...
i found out that in terms of ReplaceString method
preconditions are:
 src="k:/subproj1"
 repl="k:/"
 with="k:/output"
postconditions are:
 src="k:/outputsubproj1"

Thats a point!
Steps To Reproduce
Additional InformationVirtual k:\ drive is mapped from original source directory with SUBST command.
TagsNo tags attached.

This bug still exists in 2.8.10.2 and it's very annoying. The fix is trivial - can we please get it fixed before the next release.

Thanks,
