[CMake] CPack, error generating rpm file, error "File must begin with "/": "

[Pascale B]

Hi Eric,

   I already had this buildroot problem and fixed it, I copied the file locally and can create packages (rpm, deb) on my local computer without any problems.

   The problem I have now is on another computer, accessed through SSH, and I already replaced the CPackRPM.cmake file. Where could the "File must begin with "/": come from? I tried to grep this error string in the cmake folder and didn't find it?

Thanks for your help,
Pascale
