CMake 3.9 and lower did +not define any behavior for relative paths but did not diagnose them either +and accidentally treated them relative to the process working directory. +Policy ``CMP0070`` provides compatibility with projects that used the old +undefined behavior. + +This policy affects behavior of relative paths given to ``file(GENERATE)``. +The ``OLD`` behavior for this policy is to treat the paths relative to the +working directory of CMake. The ``NEW`` behavior for this policy is to +interpret relative paths with respect to the current source or binary +directory of the caller. + +This policy was introduced in CMake version 3.10. CMake version +|release| warns when the policy is not set and uses ``OLD`` behavior. +Use the :command:`cmake_policy` command to set it to ``OLD`` or ``NEW`` +explicitly. + +.. include:: DEPRECATED.txt |
