Not currently. We're not fundamentally opposed to the idea, but it may be tricky to get the interface right. Should the alternate name be used in *all* directories? Should it be configurable on a per-subdirectory basis? What if you have some third-party subdirectories that you're not touching? Should it be an ordered list of names to check? Does the rule apply to try_compile projects? Do we keep the information in the CMakeCache.txt? Once it is switched for the top-most directory should that one need to tell add_subdirectory what name to use for a subdir?

In Git you could keep a branch with your CMakeLists.txt changes and keep merging from the main branch to keep up with the other changes. -Brad -- 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
