$ ../CMake-build26/bin/cmake -P foo.cmake
CMake Error at foo.cmake:4 (MESSAGE):
Error -- exiting

Works for me??

Bill, thanks for taking a look at this.

The original report is admittedly somewhat obscure, but as I am running the sample program now it seems it is still valid.

What happens is this:

At the terminal prompt, I type:
$cmake -P Script.cmake

The script outputs the error message. Once. So far all is fine. But then the script does not finish, which would have been expected -- it just hangs! And eats 100% CPU.

I am currently on Ubuntu Linux 9.04 (see version info below). When the original bug report was filed, I also had access to SGI-systems, as well as MS Windows.

$ cmake --version
cmake version 2.6-patch 2

$ uname -a
Linux <hostname> 2.6.28-15-generic #49-Ubuntu SMP Tue Aug 18 18:40:08 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux

The script reproducing the error could be written like this:

--------------------------------
SET( Idx 0 )
WHILE( Idx LESS 1 )
MESSAGE( FATAL_ERROR "Hello..?" )
ENDWHILE( Idx LESS 1 )
----------------------------------

Can anybody reproduce this?

Can you try cmake 2.6.4? or CVS CMake?

Yes, the behaviour is still there with 2.6.4.

If there's a Nightly Build binary from last night I can download I can test with that too.

This bug is affecting me. I'm using CMake 2.6.2 on Ubuntu 8.04. I see everything that Hugo reported: script says it's exiting but never does, cmake uses 100% of cpu.

I can add that, according to strace, cmake isn't doing anything when it gets in this state:

write(2, "CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:29"..., 103CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:29 (message):
Arrived at / but never found a product root. Aborting.

) = 103
write(2, "\n", 1
) = 1

and then it just sits there forever.

Is there any work around? Instead of failing immediately, I guess I can invalidate my while() condition, set a variable LOOP_FAILED, and then message(FATAL_ERROR ...) at the end, but that's obviously ugly.

Reproducible with 2.6.4, unreproducible with 2.8.0-rc3.

Thanks guys for confirming. I thought I was alone in the whole world seeing this, which is always a bit discomforting...

As suggested by MoDaX, this seems to be fixed in cmake-2.8.0-rc3-Linux-i386 (so closing this issue would be perfectly fine by me)
