[CMake] CMake generated makefiles try to build a target that does not exist (make[2]: *** No rule to make target ...)

[Bill Tonkin]

Brad,

I will give the CVS sources a try and report back.  Thank you for your help.

Best Regards,
Bill

Yes, but I think it has been fixed in the CVS version.  The fix will be
in release 2.4.4.  Please try building CMake from an anonymous CVS
checkout and try it to make sure it works.
