Thanks very much, Magnus! I will try it out.

Re: [CMake] Build cmake child project from cmake parent project
FWIW, I tried making cmake projects that be used in two ways unchanged: 1) build installed libraries that other projects (not just cmake projects) can use 2) be included in an overarching cmake project that knows about subprojects but it did not turn out to be practical. Maybe I just hadn't drunk enough cmake kool-aid yet, and I still hate git submodules with a passion, but I currently suspect that the right way to organize an overarching build system is to be build-system agnostic, and the best way to make sure you don't fail is to make it as dumb and simple as possible. Hence when I needed an overall build system to build 50 open source packages which were a mix of pure make, cmake, and automake, I wrote a really, really simple one myself: https://github.com/Oblong/yobuild It's dumb as nails, but it works. -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.

[CMake] Build cmake child project from cmake parent project
I have cmake two projects, with project 2 added as a git submodule in project 1. I would like to build project 2 from project 1. How can I do this? I tried add_subdirectory, but this is just for adding source directories. I want to use the project 2 cmake files to build it.
