ross-config is broken

[JohnPJenkins]

When installed, I get empty strings for every variable (including CC and friends). This is breaking a lot of things - see the recent codes-ross-users emails.

are you setting CC before configuring cmake? CMake does use cache files, so you have to make sure you set CC before configuring with cmake the first time.

Otherwise, I'm not sure what the issue is. Could you clarify the steps the user is taking? We don't usually "install" ROSS.

[JohnPJenkins]

Yes. Here are the steps to reproduce, starting in the ROSS directory:

mkdir build
cd build
CC=mpicc CXX=mpicxx cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/install <other options> ../
make && make install

If you check out /path/to/install/bin/ross-config (also at build/ross-config), you'll see that "ROSS_CC" and related variables are empty.

Things were ok as of commit c04babe (pre-SR), so I imagine something happened during the SR merge.

Thanks for the quick resolution!
