<br>So I have various CMakeLists.txt files in my directory structure. Some with the PROJECT( name ) specified at the top and some without. I am using add_sub directory to add each directory. <br><br>/CMakeLists.txt<br>/source/cpp/app/CMakeLists.txt<br>
/source/cpp/app/someapp/CMakeLists.txt<br clear="all">/source/cpp/lib/CmakeLists.txt<br>source/cpp/lib/somelib<br><br>For the subdirectory structure above build settings for someapp will inherit from app/CMakeLists.txt and the top level CMakeLists.txt file. However if the build directories and include paths are set for libraries in /source/cpp/lib/CmakeLists.txt how would apps see these. <br>
<br>Is there a way for one project to inherit project settings from another project which is not in the path from the originating subproject CMakeLists.txt (app/CMakeLists.txt) up to the root CMakeLists.txt? <br><br>For example is there a way for apps to inherit project settings in libs (such as include paths) without having to use CACHE STRING "" FORCE and having to move these vars up the path to the root CMakeLists.txt file.<br>
<br>Is there also a way to disable recursive sub directory project inheritance in CMake?<br><br>Is there another name I can give to my CMakeLists.txt files that CMake will parse in add_subdirectory? I have multiple CMakeLists.txt files open in eclipse and can never keep which one is which straight (they all have the same name). <br>
<br>I also noticed that if I have a CMakeLists.txt in between the top/root level CMakeLists.txt without the PROJECT( name ) in the file that include paths added at the intermediary CMakeLists.txt using INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES( wherever) are still inherited.<br>
