[CMake] Add a .obj file to a library

[Anton Deguet]

I tried a couple more things.   Since the paths were compounded I  
assumed this was because I could only add files defined with a  
relative path (wrt the source directory).   So I tried to convert the  
absolute path into a relative path using:

FILE(RELATIVE_PATH
           FILE_IN_RELATIVE_PATH
           ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}
           ${FILE_IN_ABSOLUTE_PATH})

This works only if the source directory and the directory containing  
the .obj file are on the same drive.  In my case, the obj file in on  
C: while my source directory is on N:   and I don't know if one can  
define a relative path between two drives on Windows.

I there a way to tag a source file as defined with absolute path?
