CMake Warning (dev) at projectM-libvisual/CMakeLists.txt:55 (LINK_DIRECTORIES): This command specifies the relative path -lpthread as a link directory. Policy CMP0015 is not set: link_directories() treats paths relative to the source dir. Run "cmake --help-policy CMP0015" for policy details. Use the cmake_policy command to set the policy and suppress this warning. This warning is for project developers. Use -Wno-dev to suppress it. CMake Warning (dev) at projectM-libvisual/CMakeLists.txt:55 (LINK_DIRECTORIES): This command specifies the relative path anonymous@Anonymous:~/projectM-Trunk/src$ cmake --help-policy CMP0015 cmake version 2.8.2 CMP0015 link_directories() treats paths relative to the source dir. In CMake 2.6.4 and lower the link_directories() command passed relative paths unchanged to the linker. In CMake 2.8.1 and above the link_directories() command prefers to interpret relative paths with respect to CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR, which is consistent with include_directories() and other commands. The OLD behavior for this policy is to use relative paths verbatim in the linker command. The NEW behavior for this policy is to convert relative paths to absolute paths by appending the relative path to CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR. This policy was introduced in CMake version 2.8.1. CMake version 2.8.2 warns when the policy is not set and uses OLD behavior. Use the cmake_policy command to set it to OLD or NEW explicitly. anonymous@Anonymous:~/projectM-Trunk/src$
