Hi Dushara and all , I am another Aussie working on something similar ( each of our applications also has a test application also ) .. At the moment we have : add_subdirectory in the top level cmakelists file In each subdirectory the cmakelists file adds targets .. some of the subdirectories are for libraries some are for executables . As well as our own library we also use other libraries like gtest, boost, libmusicxml We have had a bit of luck but getting everything to link properly is tricky. Please let me know if you get anywhere! If anyone can shed some light it might save me a lot of time .. Linking boost or gtest are pretty simple its the shared library we have written ourselves which is giving me a headache!
