Hello,

I am trying to collect source file lists from sub directories
into the main cmake cache.

The idea is that the main directory gets a collection of all source files and header files such that it may run a doxygen whenever one of these files has changed.

Imagine

SET(DOCFILES "" CACHE INTERNAL "list of all files containing doc")
ADD_SUBDIRECTORY(src )
ADD_SUBDIRECTORY(include)

and in each subdir I tried various versions like

SET(DOCFILES ${DOCFILES}${LISTOFSRCS} )

or what I considered more likely to be correct

SET(DOCFILES ${DOCFILES}${LISTOFSRCS} CACHE INTERNAL "list of all files containing doc")


This gives me a correct list of files in the subdirectory
but the variable in the main directory is not changed.

For now I found that  I need to create a new cache variable in the
sub directories to be able to read the content of that variable in the main directory so that's what I do now.
Does anybody know how to make that work with a more elegant
solution ?

See "bin/cmake --help-command GET_DIRECTORY_PROPERTY".

GET_DIRECTORY_PROPERTY(
  subdir_SOMEVAR DIRECTORY subdir DEFINITION SOMEVAR
)
