[Insight-users] Possible bug in ExternalProject_Add, no rule to make target Boost-cfgcmd.txt

Hi all,

I have created the following tree

mkdir foo
mkdir -p foo/cpp/src/third-party
mkdir foo/bin

with a minimal CMakeLists.txt to fetch and build the Boost libraries
using ExternalProject_Add (see attached).

Running (linux 64 bit, cmake 2.8.10.1)

cd foo/bin
cmake ..
make

produces the following error where there's no rule to make target
Boost-cfgcmd.txt.

$ cmake ..

The error goes away if the PREFIX, TMP_DIR and STAM_DIR lines are commented
out.


Best regards,
