cmake and config.h not found about freerdp

[llyzs]

I did the following:

$ mkdir Build
$ cd Build
$ cmake ..

Everything still generated in the source root tree, and Build folder is just empty. Could you tell me exactly how you create the build tree in "Build" folder?

I do exactly the same and I get

$ mkdir Build
$ cd Build
$ cmake ..

here I got normal cmake output
$ ls
channels CMakeFiles config.h include libfreerdp-chanman libfreerdp-gdi libfreerdp-utils
CMakeCache.txt cmake_install.cmake freerdp-ui libfreerdp-asn1 libfreerdp-core libfreerdp-kbd Makefile

each folder containing only subfolders (according to the source tree), cmake files and generated Makefile, but no source files obviously

e.g.

$ ls -R channels

channels/:
cliprdr CMakeFiles cmake_install.cmake Makefile rdpdbg

channels/cliprdr:
CMakeFiles cmake_install.cmake Makefile

channels/cliprdr/CMakeFiles:
cliprdr.dir CMakeDirectoryInformation.cmake progress.marks

channels/cliprdr/CMakeFiles/cliprdr.dir:
build.make cmake_clean.cmake DependInfo.cmake depend.make flags.make link.txt progress.make

channels/CMakeFiles:
CMakeDirectoryInformation.cmake progress.marks

channels/rdpdbg:
CMakeFiles cmake_install.cmake Makefile

channels/rdpdbg/CMakeFiles:
CMakeDirectoryInformation.cmake progress.marks rdpdbg.dir

channels/rdpdbg/CMakeFiles/rdpdbg.dir:
build.make cmake_clean.cmake DependInfo.cmake depend.make flags.make link.txt progress.make

• ubuntu 10.04 64bit, but it used to work that way in previous version too (and, as far as I know, my colleagues using cmake on OSX have the same behavior)
• CMake : I'm currently using cmake 2.8 but I've been using it since at least 2.4 and it has always been like this
• This is vanilla ubuntu's cmake, I did not make any specific configuration

I find this usage of cmake particularly useful since in case something in cmake's config/cache gets somehow corrupted (which happens from time to time), I just erase and re-create the Build directory :-) (besides, I can also have several build directory such as Build-release and a Build-debug in order not to recompile everything whenever I switch between Debug and Release compilation mode)

According to cmake's website, you may need to clean your source tree in order to be able to create out-of-source build :

I figured it out, and it turned out that I have to delete all generated cmake files before rerun cmake (it seems to even remember the previous binary tree.

I made a patch, and it seems good to just replace CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR with CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR.

Great, thanks !
