your directory to get a list of files, and do a "set(SOURCES)" command
and paste your file list in, or some similar technique.

See this link for some info on why:
http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/cmake2.6docs.html#command:aux_source_directory
Your technique (use ls) is no better than file(GLOB) because either way
the logic is only run at CMake configure time which leads to CMake not
knowing when it needs to regenerate your build files.

The best practice (which I heartily recommend) is to hardcode the list
of files into your CMakeLists.txt.

I meant to use "ls" when writing the cmakelists.txt file, not to have cmake itself run ls. It's a "lazy coder" trick; running this command in a terminal :
ls *.cpp *.c *.h | sort

provides something I can copy and paste into my cmakelists.txt file, and update as I add new files.
