I mean with an external source here a directory which is not directly managed and controlled by the build system. I see installation directories as a well-known example for the use case when you occasionally compare the run time behaviour of an installed library to a freshly built one. The build system encapsulates file name conventions (and file formats) for the software generation. I would like to reuse such knowledge so that I can also refer to libraries from other sources in a generic way. > Or, since you are it seems mixing C and C++, you have a problem with symbol > naming. Thanks for your hint. I'm sorry that I overlooked an other preprocessor symbol which is relevant here. My evolving CMake scripts show better results now.
