yes, this is an unavoidable outcome of being able to specify custom
paths by developer for
sources/build directories.. they are written into directories.cmake file.
Initially all paths there was relative, but since user can specify own
(absolute) custom paths, there is no way
how it can keep working using relative paths.

You can edit this file, or you can just run an image placed in ./image
subdirectory
and rerun cmake files generation on you machine, so paths will be
fixed automagically.

is there a reason why you cannot upgrade your OS?
