Summary | 0015193: Error when one of the parent directory is a symlink to it's parent directory | ||||||||
Description | If one of the parent directory of the source directory is a symlink to one of its parent directory, cmake fails at configure time on add_subdirectory. Directory structure to reproduce this: ``` % tree . ├── 1 │ ├── 2 │ │ └── cmake │ │ ├── a │ │ │ └── CMakeLists.txt │ │ └── CMakeLists.txt │ └── 4 -> . └── 3 -> 1 6 directories, 2 files ``` The higher level `CMakeLists.txt` is ``` % cat 1/2/cmake/CMakeLists.txt project(cmake-test) cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8) add_subdirectory(a) ``` and the lower level `CMakeLists.txt` is empty. When trying to build in `1/4/2/cmake/build` ``` % cmake .. -- The C compiler identification is GNU 4.9.1 -- The CXX compiler identification is GNU 4.9.1 -- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/cc -- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/cc -- works -- Detecting C compiler ABI info -- Detecting C compiler ABI info - done -- Check for working CXX compiler: /usr/bin/c++ -- Check for working CXX compiler: /usr/bin/c++ -- works -- Detecting CXX compiler ABI info -- Detecting CXX compiler ABI info - done CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:3 (add_subdirectory): add_subdirectory not given a binary directory but the given source directory "/home/yuyichao/tmp/cmake-test/1/4/4/4/2/cmake/a" is not a subdirectory of "/home/yuyichao/tmp/cmake-test/1/4/4/2/cmake". When specifying an out-of-tree source a binary directory must be explicitly specified. -- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred! See also "/home/yuyichao/tmp/cmake-test/1/4/2/cmake/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log". ``` Another real life example can be found in the comment here[1] and the qtcurve issue here[2].
