[CMake] CPack, error generating rpm file, error "File must begin with "/": "

[Pascale B]

Hi Eric,


   Thanks for your help. I use a remote computer in order to test many operating systems. The content of rpmbuild.out is enigmatic, it seems empty:

Processing files: sources-1.04.0-1
RPM build errors:



The commande :cpack -D CPACK_RPM_PACKAGE_DEBUG=1 -G RPM
gives the following output:


-bash-3.2$ cpack -D CPACK_RPM_PACKAGE_DEBUG=1 -G RPM
