[CMake] Wrong number of "../" elements in target path? 2.4.6 vs. 2.4.7 bug?

[David Cole]

The "." probably comes from using CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR somewhere. It
evaluates to "." in make file based builds, but it will be "Debug" or
"Release" for Visual Studio or Xcode based builds.

The CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR expands to something specific to the generator
used. For VS, it becomes "$(OutDir)" -- for Xcode, it becomes
"$(CONFIGURATION)" -- for make based builds, it becomes "." ....

Having said that, if that's where the "." comes from, be careful not
to break VS or Xcode builds for your project if they are important for
the devs working on it. (Don't just remove CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR and assume
everything's ok because it works with make...)


HTH,
David
