Can relative paths be used to set PCRE_BINARY_DIR, PCRE_SOURCE_DIR,
CMAKE_CACHEFILE_DIR, CMAKE_HOME_DIRECTORY variables in CMakeCache.txt in
build directory? If "yes" should relative path be specified relative to
location of the project file - for Windows builds? I assume that is the
answer as Visual Studio interprets directories relative to location of
the project file. Similar changes will need to be done in
DartTestfile.txt. Are there other files that need to be modified?

After edited these two .txt files to different absolute path the Visual
Studio build reported no warnings. Before switching to relative paths I
wanted to check with the list.

It would be nice if CMakeSetup configuration allowed use of relative
paths for pcre/pcrecpp builds - on both Windows and UNIX platforms. Then
the above hacking would not be necessary.

Hi George,

When I use Cmakesetup, I tick "Show Advanced Values". There are several
additional settings that become available including some relative path
settings (which I haven't tried, but likely do what you want). I always
choose "CMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE".

Regards,
Sheri
