Hi Alex,

thanks for your reply. ModuleDefs, CommonDefs and FortranSources are all
lists of files given with their absolute paths. createFortAccessors
parses the files listed in FortranModules.inp and FortranCommons.inp
given as input and produces the files listed in FortranSources as
output. I tried replacing FortranModules.inp and FortranCommons.inp with
their absolute paths (${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}, but this doesn't
change anything. Do you have any idea, what might be going wrong here?
