[Cmake] CMake Configuration Problem

[Andy Cedilnik]

Hi Richard,

Since I do not have enough information, it is a bit hard for me to
answer. The simples answer, though, is that since CMake is fairly
powerful scripting language, you can have bad input files or good input
files. So, it is possible to write CMakeLists.txt files that will work
in source but not out of source and the other way around.
