[CMake] [cmake] Not reading CMakelists.txt in Subdirectory

[David Cole]

It's usually a good idea to use full path names with functions that take

I'd still be curious to know what the error/confusing output was, though.
Maybe the error text could use some improvement...?


Glad you got it working,
David
