Error when building cmake latex manual

[gassmoeller]

When I use cmake to make the pdf manual like so:

cmake .
make documentation

I get the following error no matter if my build directory is in-source or out-of-source:

cp: cannot create regular file '/home/rene/software/build-aspect/doc/benchmarks/yamauchi_takei_2016_anelasticity/doc/YT16_benchmark.png': No such file or directory
make[3]: *** [doc/CMakeFiles/build_image_benchmarksyamauchitakei2016anelasticitydocYT16benchmarkpng.dir/build.make:73: doc/benchmarks/yamauchi_takei_2016_anelasticity/doc/YT16_benchmark.png] Error 1

Can you show the line before the error? I suspect that this is the result of this command:

  ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND(
    OUTPUT
      ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/${_image}
    COMMAND
      cp
          ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/${_image}
          ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/${_image}
    DEPENDS
      ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/${_image}
    COMMENT
      "Copying ${_image} to build directory."
    )

On thinking about this, I do not know how cmake treats this -- that is, whether it creates the directories into which OUTPUT is placed. Does it work if you remove the ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/ from before ${_image}?

This is the complete output:

rene@rene-laptop:~/software/aspect/build$ make documentation
[  0%] Copying benchmarks/yamauchi_takei_2016_anelasticity/doc/YT16_benchmark.png to build directory.
cp: cannot create regular file '/home/rene/software/aspect/build/doc/benchmarks/yamauchi_takei_2016_anelasticity/doc/YT16_benchmark.png': No such file or directory

make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:16331: doc/CMakeFiles/documentation.dir/rule] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:7709: documentation] Error 2

And no, the error stays the same if I remove ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/.

No longer relevant.
