Description:
The CMake build scripts for the MySQL C Connector currently do not support using CMake to place the intermediate and output files outside the source tree.  Attempting to do so will produce CMake errors.

How to repeat:
Open a command prompt in the root of the source tree and run

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -G "Visual Studio 10 Win64" ..

CMake will fail.

Suggested fix:
Edit lines 353-358 of the root directory's CMakeLists.txt to that the paths are specified relative to ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}.  For example, replace "REAME" with "${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/README" and similarly for COPYING and LICENSE.mysql.

Thank you for the report.

This is duplicate of bug #64908 I will change header of bug #64908, so it would be easier to find.
