That's no problem (you know, it's cmake, it's easy :-) 
I thought PROJECT(whatever) should be specified only once in a cmake 
directory hierarchy ? Doesn't it have any side effects ? 
Is Project_SOURCE_DIR (and BINARY_DIR) then in all CMakeLists.txt the one 
from the most top level CMakeLists.txt or always the one from the "most 
local" CMakeLists.txt ? 
 
Otherwise it doesn't matter in any way to me whether it's in the local or 
the global generator (as long as it works as it does now), it's just that 
I found my way into the local generator and did it there. 
 
Bye 
Alex
