Hi,
I'm pretty much expecting to be told, "Can't get there from here", but I'd
like to set a variable in a top-level project in terms of another variable
which may change. I'd then like to refer to that variable at a lower level
and have it expanded at the time of evaluation.
For example:
PROJECT ( TOP )
SET ( PROJ_README "${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/README.txt"
CACHE "Where to find a project's README file"
)
SUBDIRS ( BOTTOM )
Followed by:
PROJECT ( BOTTOM )
MESSAGE ( STATUS "PROJ_README = ${PROJ_README}" )
Is this even possible?
Thanks,
Chris.
