With CMake you can use absolute and relative paths, no problem. If you use absolute paths, please use one of the pre-defined variables, such as ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}, ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}, ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR} ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR} ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}, ${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}, ${<project_name>_SOURCE_DIR} or ${<project_name>_BINARY_DIR}.
