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 I see to do this is to modify the paths in my external projects to the parent directories, as has already been suggested. Or copying them into that location after the build. I don't think variables are propagated from the CMake project to the external project. -- Sent from: http://cmake.3232098.n2.nabble.com/ -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
