In the root CMakeLists.txt, I have:
add_subdirectory(3rdparty)
And in 3rdparty/CMakeLists.txt:
add_subdirectory(pugixml/scripts)
add_subdirectory(QtZeroConf)
add_subdirectory(QtDropBox)
add_subdirectory(websocketpp)
This is an easy way to work with third-party dependences.
My problem comes from the fact several of these third-party libraries use
common variable names, e. g. BUILD_SHARED, BUILD_TESTS, etc).
Has some kind of namespacing been considered for add_subdirectory?
I cannot answer that question, but I suggest instead that the proper
way to deal with third-party libraries with no name contamination from
the parent project is simply to build and install them using the
ExternalProject approach.
