Summary0014179: FindBoost does not treat paths properly
DescriptionI set my CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH, to a folder on my C: drive (c:\work) as well as setting CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH, BOOST_INCLUDEDIR and BOOST_LIBRARYDIR to folders within that path (i.e. c:\work\include and c:\work\lib).

I then do a find_package(Boost 1.53.0 ...) and it tries to escape the \w from c:\work and fails.

This works fine with CMake 2.8.10.2.

I cannot reproduce this. Please provide a full CMakeLists.txt that reproduces the problem (and cmake command line if necessary). Also provide the error message you see.

Sorry for the lack of detail. I have attached CMakeLists.txt.

Here is the command line:
set VENDOR=c:\work\vendor
cmake -G "NMake Makefiles JOM" ..

And the output is:

This doesn't happen if i leave the COMPONENTS off of find_package (i.e. find_package(Boost 1.53)

This works fine with cmake 2.8.10.2.

Fixed:

Use this patch to your CMake code to workaround the bug for now:

-set(VENDOR $ENV{VENDOR})
+file(TO_CMAKE_PATH "${VENDOR}" VENDOR)
