Hello: I am trying to assemble sources that are distributed across a number of subdirectories into a variable for inclusion in an add_library command. I've tried using PARENT_SCOPE to do so, but I haven't been successful.
Here is a specific example: toplevel CMakeLists.txt: cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.6) add_subdirectory(sub) message(status " subfiles ${subfiles}") add_library(tst ${subfiles}) CMakeLists.txt in subdirectory sub: set(subfiles file.cpp PARENT_SCOPE) Output from cmake version 2.6-patch 3 -- The C compiler identification is GNU -- The CXX compiler identification is GNU -- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/gcc -- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/gcc -- works -- Detecting C compiler ABI info -- Detecting C compiler ABI info - done -- Check for working CXX compiler: /usr/bin/c++ -- Check for working CXX compiler: /usr/bin/c++ -- works -- Detecting CXX compiler ABI info -- Detecting CXX compiler ABI info - done status subfiles file.cpp -- Configuring done CMake Error in CMakeLists.txt: Cannot find source file "file.cpp". Tried extensions .c .C .c++ .cc .cpp .cxx .m .M .mm .h .hh .h++ .hm .hpp .hxx .in .txx -- Build files have been written to: /home/matthew/tmp/build As you can see, the variable ${subfiles} is set correctly, but does not seem to be expanded when placed into the add_library command.
