In a C++ project, I would to include the header files as as descendants of the project's source directory without use of UNIX directory shortcuts . or .. . Im not sure how to configure cmake to work with that.
I have the directory structure:
Root
|-include
| |- foo.h
|-src
| | foo.cpp
put into root\CMakeList.txt:
project(root)
include_directories(${root_SOURCE_DIR}/include)
...
you can use root_SOURCE_DIR everywhere in sub projects.
for more information consider to visit http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_Useful_Variables#Variables_not_listed_here
Use include_directories( include )
for CMakeLists.txt in Root folder. Or include_directories( ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/include )
from any subfolder.
