Re: [CMake] Using CMake include does not seem to work intuatively
The way "include" was explained to me years ago was that it operates in much
the same way as literally "pasting" all the code from the included file
directly into the place where the include() command is used. With this in mind
the "include(Bar.cmake)" from the Foo.cmake file and the associated error make
sense. If you were to copy-paste the code from Foo.cmake into your
CMakeLIsts.txt file then it would be looking for a Bar.cmake file in the same
directory as "CMakeLists.txt".

Hi Saad.
I can't comment on whether the behaviour is correct or expectable, but to get
it working the way you want, you can specify the path fully:
include(${CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR}/Bar.cmake)

Hi,
Let's say I have the following directory structure:
~/Repos/MyRepo/CMakeLists.txt
~/CMakeFiles/Foo.cmake
~/CMakeFiles/Bar.cmake
In the CMakeLists.txt I have the following command:
include(~/CMakeFiles/Foo.cmake)
And in Foo.cmake I have the following command:
include(Bar.cmake)
Turns out that he `include(Bar.cmake)` from `Foo.cmake` fails. This is counter
to what I would expect (e.g. how #include works in C).
Is this a bug or is this behavior expected? If it's expected, what is the
workaround? We have a lot of common cmake files which in turn include files
relative to each other and not the calling CMakeLists.txt.
Thank you,
Saad
