[CMake] CPack 2.6.2: can't create temporary directory

[David Cole]

Scratch my last reply somewhat.....
Your CMakeLists file runs "cpack" as the custom command, which was picking
up cpack 2.6.2 from my PATH rather than using the same cpack that goes with
the cmake 2.6.0 which I was using by fullpath to configure the project.

So. It does work with CPack 2.6.0 and I will work on the fix....

:-)

Sorry for the pilot error,
David
