Re: Quickfix Has Wrong Path to Source Files

I think we are generally in agreement here. Details below.

I am using make to call CMake and CMake is called iteratively in each
architecture (e.g, build/i586-linux, build/x86_64-linux, etc.).
However it's prepending a local directory to an absolute directory
which, as you note below, causes problems.

Sounds like a good solution.
