Using @unixroot should be $ENV{unixroot} #4

Describe the bug Using incorrect way of resolving environment variables.

To Reproduce https://github.com/bitwiseworks/cmake-os2/blob/ccd2827012623ef97f5c4386fa8d8c542763cced/Modules/Platform/os2.cmake#L13

Expected behavior https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/variable/ENV.html

Why do you think it is incorrect? @unixroot is not an environment variable, it's more of a symbolic link, or a "path rewrite rule" in terms of kLIBC/LIBCn (https://github.com/bitwiseworks/libc-os2). Can you be more specific about what you tried to achieve and failed?

claunia commented 3 years ago

I'm not an expert on CMake and I thought that was the correct interpretation.

What I'm trying to achieve, is to compile OS/2 applications from Linux, including therefore, being able to use cmake.

dmik commented 3 years ago

Well, it will be enough for you to just create a /@unixroot symbolic link on your root Linux drive and point it to a desired location for the OS/2 unixroot tree. That should work. I'm closing this as "not a bug".
