It's gonna be more code ;-) And you have to be take care in which order you
call add_subdirectory.
* toplevel/CMakeLists.txt:
add_subdirectory(mylib) # MUST be before core
add_subdirectory(core)
* toplevel/mylib/CMakeLists.txt:
set(MYLIB_INCLUDE_DIRS ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/h) # MUST be absolute paths!
set_property(GLOBAL PROPERTY MYLIB_INCLUDE_DIRS ${MYLIB_INCLUDE_DIRS})
include_directories(${MYLIB_INCLUDE_DIRS})
add_library(mylib SHARED mylib.cpp)
* toplevel/core/CMakeLists.txt:
get_property(HAVE_MYLIB_INCLUDE_DIRS GLOBAL PROPERTY MYLIB_INCLUDE_DIRS DEFINED)
if(NOT HAVE_MYLIB_INCLUDE_DIRS)
message(FATAL_ERROR "MYLIB_INCLUDE_DIRS property not defined, "
"probably due to wrong add_subdirectory ordering.")
endif()
get_property(MYLIB_INCLUDE_DIRS GLOBAL PROPERTY MYLIB_INCLUDE_DIRS)
include_directories(${MYLIB_INCLUDE_DIRS})
add_executable(coreApp main.cpp)
target_link_libraries(coreApp mylib)
If you want to, you can wrap the whole property stuff in some easy to use
convenience functions.
