What does this mean "being in /tmp/obj" ?

I think I don't get it.
What do you want to do?
1) Write a single CMake-enabled project with which you may build all
or part of the project
2) Write several separate CMake-enabled project which are inter-dependant?
I would personnally try 1) unless you have good reason not to do so.
The projects/CMakeLists.txt would be the main project
consisting in some
add_subdirectory(libs/XXXX)
add_subdirectory(apps//YYYY)
then for each lib there will be some
projects/libs/XXXX/CMakeLists.txt consisting in
add_library(XXXX <list of source>) command
and for each app there will be some
projects/apps/YYYY/CMakeLists.txt which contains
add_executable(YYYY <list of source>)
target_link_library(YYYY XXXX)
include_directories(${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/libs/XXXX)
from this structure you should be able to build part or all of the target
just by calling the appropriate one. CMake should take care of building
the dependencies using the "target_link_library" links.
However I may have misunderstood what you want?
Could you tell us what you want and may be send us some CMakeLists.txt
you already tried?
