Think scoping to the rescue. At least that might be a nice trick to get it to work. - create a victim subdirectory (specifically named - "workaround_braindead_config_file") specifically for the task of using the project config within its CMakeLists.txt - reference it there - grab all of the related values via directory properties or some such (as far as it is possible to access these config settings, that is - I'm not sure) - export all these settings via GLOBAL properties (or cache variables?) or some such - after the add_subdirectory() "call", the local config will now *NOT* be changed (subdirectory-only scope, fortunately!!) - grab all required elements from the GLOBAL properties set by the sub directory code and configure your local targets with these [plus, for possibly target-specific configuration done by the Config file, provide a dummy victim target to gather these values from] This mechanism is so stupendously daring that it might just happen to work ;) Andreas Mohr -- Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
