Re: [CMake] how to set current source directory relative to external project

When I use CMAKE_BINARY_DIR the problem remains. If I set( EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/bin ) in my external project the binary is placed in build/ext1-prefix/src/ext1-build/bin/. Wouldn't it be better to have all my binaries in a single location? Such as build/bin/ ? The only way

Re: [CMake] how to set current source directory relative to external project

I don't know what sorts of files those are; they don't exist but they get created, they're not tracked, and not installed... They sounds like a build product, which is a target, (even it it's just part of a product, it's still a target) Exactly, these are mostly BYPRODUCTS, but also OUTPUT

Re: [CMake] how to set current source directory relative to external project

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}/.. =
