Hi guys,I have a possibly naive question about cmake. I've got three applications that build with cmake. Normally they build and run independently. However, for a particular release I have to combine them in a source distribution. I wanted to create a cmake script in a parent directory containing all three source trees and give the end-user one simple cmake command to run. Sounds simple enough. The problem I run into in doing that is that with the CMakeList.txt files of each source tree, there are some directory references relative to ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR} and ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}. So, when cmake is run from a higher level directory, these directory macros are one level up from where they normally are and it throws off the build. The question I have is "Is there a way to use cmake in a parent directory to recursively invoke cmake on the CMakeList.txt files in each of these source trees such that the source and binary root directories are set to what they are normally expected to be?
You should look at the ExternalProject module. -Bill -- Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
