Summary:                    Clarification of message "CMake Error in
cli/CMakeLists.txt"
Description: 
I try to update some scripts which were published with the feature request "Add
simple CMake build files".
https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/cppcheck/ticket/1092#comment:5

The first configuration after some edits works as expected. But I was surprised
by the message "Error in configuration process, project files may be invalid" in
a dialogue box of the tool "CMake-GUI 2.8.1" for my generation try.

I stumble on the following log display.

The C compiler identification is GNU
The CXX compiler identification is GNU
Configuring done
CMake Error in cli/CMakeLists.txt:
  Cannot find source file "filelister_unix.cpp".  Tried extensions .c .C .c++
  .cc .cpp .cxx .m .M .mm .h .hh .h++ .hm .hpp .hxx .in .txx


Now I try to repeat these steps with the graphical user interface from the
package "http://www.cmake.org/files/v2.8/cmake-2.8.3-Linux-i386.sh".

The corresponding log area displays the following informations:
The C compiler identification is GNU
The CXX compiler identification is GNU
Configuring done
CMake Error at cli/CMakeLists.txt:42 (add_executable):
  Cannot find source file "filelister_unix.cpp".  Tried extensions .c .C .c++
  .cc .cpp .cxx .m .M .mm .h .hh .h++ .hm .hpp .hxx .in .txx

I have got doubts that the displayed informations are sufficient to resolve this
in a "convenient" way because the mentioned file exists in a subdirectory so
far.

Are there any chances to get more debugging details?
