[CMake] Relative include() calls

Hmm,

I guess the original question referred to cmake modules (at least that's
what I figured from the file names). Have you tried to set
CMAKE_MODULE_PATH. Then you don't need any relative paths anymore.

Best regards,
Marcel Loose.

        This is the behavior I would expect. include() is a lot like
        #include
        (or :r in vi); it's as though the contents of the included file
        were
        dropped into the middle of your CMakeLists.
        
        Ergo, I would write:
        
        > include( ../cmake/BoostUtils.cmake )

have you tried using CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR or CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_FILE
+extracting the path, i.e.,

include( ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/BoostUtils.cmake )



        
        
        If you don't want to write ../cmake all the time, I'm pretty
        sure
        there's a variable that controls where CMake will look for
        things to
        include().
