Elizabeta,
Provided the directory name is an absolute path I think you could use the
PARENT_SCOPE option to set() to pass the include directories up a directory
to the parent. This is provided you're using CMake >= 2.6.0. If you are on
2.4.x or have to pass variables up many directories there are alternatives
to this that will effectively provide you global variables (was a recent
thread on the mailing list about this).
*parent_dir/CMakeLists.txt:
*add_subdirectory(child_dir)
include_directories(${my_include_dirs})
* child_dir/CMakeLists.txt:
* set(my_include_dirs ${FOO_INCLUDE_DIR}
${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/another_child_dir) # can't use relative paths
here
include_directories(${my_include_dirs})
set(my_include_dirs ${my_include_dirs} PARENT_SCOPE)
