Hey,

there's several options.
- the easiest is probably to create inclusion files on the Nick level,
put the identical functionality in there and include them in the modules.
- a bit "cleaner" ist to create a e.g. Macros.cmake file on the Nick level,
put the identical functionality in there and invoke the macros from the sub-level;
that's more like a "separation of concerns / encapsulation" approach.
- if your modules need to be self-contained (without knowing to be inside the "Nick" folder), you could think of setting up a template on Nick level and have that being configured into the module
folders with appropriate different values inserted.

i'd go for the second option myself.

cheers

Hi guys,

I have a question for you about general practices. I have a top level directory with a bunch of modules inside:

|module1

|module2

|module3

Module1, module2, and module3 are subdirectories inside of the nick directory. Each module directory contains src,inc and test (gtest unit test files).

These modules are pretty similar in structure, meaning the CMakeLists files are almost identical. Is there any way to make some sort of generic CMakeLists file that I can call with arguments for all 3 modules? I’m having the same issue with unit tests, where the unit test section for my CMakeLists is essentially identical between the modules.

Thoughts?
