thank you J Decker for your reply.

Your suggestion does work but I want to preserve standalone use of the project, meaning that I want a reference to CMake source root directory.

Assuming there is only 1 hierarchy I could add an option:


if ( SUPERBUILD )

/message("${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/.. = /home/user/super/ext1/..")/

/else ()/

////message("${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR} = /home/user/super/ext1")//

endif ()


I think the better solution now is to make it relative to build directory and force out of source builds.
