Summary

0015249: Default WORKING_DIRECTORY of EXECUTE_PROCESS

Description

3.1.rc1. Windows version - only

It seems that the default WORKING_DIRECTORY of EXECUTE_PROCESS is not any longer CMAKE_BINARY_DIR.

EXECUTE_PROCESS(COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E make_directory conftest.a) results in

Error making directory "
conftest.a".

Maybe EXECUTE_PROCESS runs in a write-protected directory.

EXECUTE_PROCESS(COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E make_directory conftest.a # WORKING_DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR})

works.

Notes
(0037208) Brad King (manager) 2014-11-13 09:07	The execute_process command does not define or document any default working directory. It will be wherever the working directory of the running cmake process happens to be. I don't think this behavior has changed. For this particular case you can use the file(MAKE_DIRECTORY) command, but that should also be given a full path.
