The cmake configuration generation needs only a dir name (so it will<br>
generate configs which pointing to that path).<br>
But the problem is (if i remember correctly ), that i use platforms<br>
path as a default anchor point , starting from which, all other<br>
directories are assigned by default.<br>

So, if you set only platform sources path, then you will get:<br>
<br>
root:<br>
<br>
platforms/..<br>
<br>
build:<br>
<br>
platforms/../build<br>
<br>
src:<br>
<br>
platforms/../src<br>
<br>
etc.<br>
<br>
Therefore, since code generator writes files to src and build dirs,<br>
you cannot leave platforms dir unspecified.<br>
<br>
But of course, when you specify all output dirs by yourself , then it<br>
should not force you to use valid (existing) platforms dir anymore.<br>
