Summary

0007757: Need mechanism to discover actual path of file on disc

Description

CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR only reports the location of where CMake is processing a script. If a scrip is included via the include or find_package command CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR reports the location of where those calls were make and not where the included scripts live on disc.

I think it would be useful to be able to get access to the location of included scripts via a new variable CMAKE_CURRENT_DISC_DIR or something. The included scripts could be parsed while being included and replaced the CMAKE_CURRENT_DISC_DIR with the path of the file.

The reason I want this, is so I could use a library of additional CMake scripts that make use of other scripts and files used for the configure_file (which needs full paths). Currently, I have to put the library in the exact same place relative to my project so that CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR remains consistent within my CMake script library.

(0013628) Bill Hoffman (manager) 2008-10-01 09:10	There is CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_FILE, and you can get the path out of that?

(0013658) James Bigler (developer) 2008-10-01 13:58	That was just what I needed. Thanks.
