Summary

0013963: get_filename_component returns blank

Description

Command get_filename_component fails to return the name of the file if its input string is not simple. This works:
get_filename_component(EDB "${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/etc/emppack.db" NAME)

but the following fails
set(EMP_DB_FILE "${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/etc/emppack.db" CACHE FILEPATH "name of the Emppack data base file. Full path must be included")
get_filename_component(EDB "${EDB_DB_FILE}" NAME)

Steps To Reproduce

set(EMP_DB_FILE "${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/etc/emppack.db" CACHE FILEPATH "name of the Emppack data base file. Full path must be included")
get_filename_component(EDB "${EDB_DB_FILE} " NAME)
message(" this is the dbfile: ${EDB}")

Additional Information

I could reproduce the error using cmake 2.8.7 and 2.8.9 on an updated Ubuntu 12.04 and on a RHEL 6.3.

(0032405) Albert Solernou (reporter) 2013-02-28 04:17	I could reproduce it using v. 2.8.10.2

(0032406) Rolf Eike Beer (developer) 2013-02-28 04:59	Guys, seriously. What about using the same variable in both places? this is the dbfile: emppack.db
