cmake + WRKOBJDIR

[Brook Milligan <brook%nmsu.edu@localhost>]

Building cmake failed for me with WRKOBJDIR=/private/tmp/pkgsrc on a Mac (Catalina).

Even though WRKOBJDIR points to a directory, cmake reports the following during the bootstrap/configure step:

-- Check for working C compiler: /tmp/pkgsrc/devel/cmake/work/.cwrapper/bin/clang - skipped

On this system /tmp is a symlink for /private/tmp, so cmake seems to be somehow reverting to the symlink.  I do not understand the cmake magic enough to see where this is happening.  Any ideas?

Thanks a lot.

Cheers,
Brook
