[CMake] What is the preferred way to avoid "same name already exists" error

Hi,
I have a number of directories that are named according to an
acquisition board in our full product line. Under each directory there
are sample programs labeled "sample1.c", "sample2.c" ...etc. While
this isn't a very useful naming convention, I ran into the problem of
when I migrated the current GNU makefile based system over to CMAKE, I
tried to create a structure like the following
add_subdirectory( samples/Product1 )
add_subdirectory( samples/Product2 )
What happens is that I get the error saying
* add_executable cannot create target "sample" because another target with
the same name already exists. The existing target is an executable
created
in source directory*
What I was trying to get is a namespace encapsulated sample, such that I
would have to issue a
make samples/Product1/sample1 in order to build that sample.
Is there a way to prevent these namespace collisions other than just
renaming every single executable to have a unique name ? I want to know
the correct answer to this because I have a feeling that in the future I
won't always want to keep every single target name unique.
Thanks
-Jimi
