[CMake] CMake Dependence on C: drive?

[Michael Jackson]

Currently using CMake 3.13.3 on Windows 10. I have “installed” cmake through the .zip download and placed it in E:\DREAM3D_SDK\ cmake-3.13.3-win64-x64. 

 

If I now try to use that cmake to configure my source codes I get very strange errors (It cannot parse a simple project command) and then complains that it cannot find a CMake_MAKE_PROGRAM matching the “-G Ninja”.

 

I then went back to using the same version of CMake, but placed on the C:/DREAM3D_SDK/cmake-3.13.3-win64-x64 and now everything works as in the past, no problems. I have a .bat file that sets up my environment with needed paths and such. The ONLY difference between the 2 invocations was that I changed the path to reflect the alternate location of CMake. I can have 2 difference command prompts open based on this difference and one works and one does not. 


Was/Is there a known limitation where CMake _must_ be run from the C: drive?
