Thanks a lot Eric Actually I am trying to move a project already done to CMake, and it doesn't have any executable in the top directory, it is now done in Windows under Visual Studio.
In the top directory I have a CMakeLists,txt that calls each one of the subdirectories in which I have also their respective CMakeLIsts.txt. But I don't know at the end how to put everything together in an executable. Because each directory compiles independently, like a module. I don't know how it is done in Visual Studio.
