libCurl cmake build fails: "cmake_uninstall.cmake.in does not exist"

[Dani-Hub]

I invoke the cmake-based build using cmake 3.8.1 and Visual Studio 2012 (vc110) (via CMakeLists.txt in the root directory), but the build fails as follows:

[INFO] -- Check size of struct sockaddr_storage
[INFO] -- Check size of struct sockaddr_storage - done
[INFO] -- Enabled features: IPv6 AsynchDNS Largefile
[INFO] -- Enabled protocols: DICT FILE FTP GOPHER HTTP IMAP LDAP POP3 RTSP SMTP TELNET TFTP
[INFO] CMake Error: File E:/Development/workspace_cpp_4_2/se.haxx.libcurl/src/cmake_uninstall.cmake.in does not exist.
[INFO] CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:1345 (configure_file):

[INFO] -- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

[INFO] See also "E:/Development/workspace_cpp_4_2/se.haxx.libcurl/build/win32-x86-vc110/CMakeFiles/CMakeError.log".

I expected a successful cmake build (We use the cmake-based build since years, including the last official version 7.54.1)

The error can be very likely attributed to a change of the root CMakeLists.txt between the last official libCurl release 7.54.1 and 7.55.0. These last lines are

if(NOT TARGET uninstall)
  configure_file(
      ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/cmake_uninstall.cmake.in
      ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/cmake_uninstall.cmake
      IMMEDIATE @ONLY)

  add_custom_target(uninstall
      COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -P
      ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/cmake_uninstall.cmake)
endif()

The problem is that there does not exist any file cmake_uninstall.cmake.in as part of the libCurl source code. The attached zip file contains the two log files mentioned in the log output mentioned above.

This file is missing in the release.

Thanks very much for your quick reaction!
