My high level comment would be to not glob for source files. This an
anti-pattern and will break your incremental builds.
For example if you add a new source files say "foo.cpp" and then run
"make" (or whatever your CMake generator is) the build
will fail if "foo.cpp" is actually needed because CMake will not know
it needs to re-configure to discover "foo.cpp" and so will
not try to build "foo.cpp". By listing source files manually in
"CMakeLists.txt" files you will force CMake to re-configure when you
add/remove source files from the build.
I also note you are setting a very old minimum CMake version and are
using the old style condition syntax (condition appears in `endif()`
and `else()`).
I'd really advise you don't use that syntax and set a high minimum
CMake version so you get some of the useful new features in CMake
unless
you have a specific reason for supporting such an old version of CMake.
As for your globbing problem
* This is definitely wrong
```
set (CATSMAT_DIR
./Users/seanwayland/Desktop/CATSMAT-masterfri/catsmat/catsmat/ )
```
The leading `.` means current directory and I doubt there's a `Users`
folder in your current directory.
Also hard coding paths like is very bad style and is not portable.
* This doesn't make sense
```
file (GLOB CORESRC RELATIVE ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR} ${SRC})
```
"${SRC}" is a list of absolute paths but then you tell the `file()`
command to assume the paths are relative
to `${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}`.
