Hi SirAnn, COMPILE_DEFINITIONS is a directory property, not a variable. You can retrieve that value using get_directory_property(). For example:
get_directory_property(defs COMPILE_DEFINITIONS) message(STATUS "Compile definitions: ${defs}") Note that the value of COMPILE_DEFINITIONS is scope dependent, as each add_subdirectory() creates a new scope. Hope this helps, Marcel Loose.
