Summary0010769: CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR wrong in cache init scripts
DescriptionWhen you use the -C command to load a cache init script, CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR is incorrectly set to the binary directory while that file is executed. As a demonstration consider the following shell output. Note the value for CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR is the binary directory in CacheInit.cmake.

$ ls source
CMakeLists.txt CacheInit.cmake
$ cat source/CMakeLists.txt
PROJECT(TMP NONE)
MESSAGE("CMakeLists.txt CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR: ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}")
MESSAGE("CMakeLists.txt CMAKE_BINARY_DIR: ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}")
$ cat source/CacheInit.cmake
MESSAGE("CacheInit.cmake CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR: ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}")
MESSAGE("CacheInit.cmake CMAKE_BINARY_DIR: ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}")
$ cd binary/
$ cmake --version
cmake version 2.8.1
$ cmake -C ../source/CacheInit.cmake ../source
loading initial cache file ../source/CacheInit.cmake
CacheInit.cmake CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR: /Users/kmorel/tmp/binary
CacheInit.cmake CMAKE_BINARY_DIR: /Users/kmorel/tmp/binary
CMakeLists.txt CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR: /Users/kmorel/tmp/source
CMakeLists.txt CMAKE_BINARY_DIR: /Users/kmorel/tmp/binary
