Unfortunately, getting it right made me realize I had problems elsewhere in my CMakeLists.txt (in particular, it wasn't conditionally defining the target properly). In the end, I added: IF ("${PROJECT_NAME}" STREQUAL "") PROJECT (child CXX) ENDIF ("${PROJECT_NAME}" STREQUAL "") and likewise to the ADD_EXECUTABLE () in all of my CMakeLists.txt. I don't know if this is the right way to do it, but it seems ok so far... Yes, in hindsight, what you suggested was obvious but I was so fixated on something more complicated; the obvious eluded me! Thank you for your help!
