Hi,

we have some dependency libraries in our repository. The main part is build with cmake. Now the cmake-makefiles shall build the dependency libraries, which do not have a cmake build system. For one specific library there is a "Makefile.squirrel" which should be used. The cmakelists.txt for that library:

cmake_minimum_required (VERSION 2.8)

include(ExternalProject)

ExternalProject_Add(squirrel,
    SOURCE_DIR "./"
    UPDATE_COMMAND ""
    BUILD_IN_SOURCE 1
    CONFIGURE_COMMAND ""
    BUILD_COMMAND "make -f ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/Makefile.squirrel"
    INSTALL_COMMAND ""
    )

However, when running make I get an error message:

[ 93%] Performing build step for 'squirrel,'
/bin/sh: make -f /home/enrico/projekte/projectname/dependencies/SQUIRREL2/Makefile.squirrel: not found
make[2]: *** [dependencies/SQUIRREL2/squirrel,-prefix/src/squirrel,-stamp/squirrel,-build] Error 127
make[1]: *** [dependencies/SQUIRREL2/CMakeFiles/squirrel,.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

ls -lA on /home/enrico/projekte/projectname/dependencies/SQUIRREL2/Makefile.squirrel shows that the file exists.

Hardcoding the file path (not an option for the solution) does not work, too.

any ideas or hints?

Thanks, Enrico
