I also tried to add this command to my top level CMakeLists.txt file:
SET(CMAKE_ROOT /home/sci/bigler/pub/irix/share/CMake)
This produces strange errors like this one:
Make Error: Error in cmake code at
/home/sci/bigler/pub/irix/share/CMake/Modules/CheckIncludeFile.cmake:16:
IF An IF command had incorrect arguments: ${ARGC} EQUAL 3
This file used in 1.8.3 is different and doesn't have the ARGC stuff. I
printed out the value and it's blank.
Thanks,
James
