[CMake] cmake trouble

[Eric Clark]

Andreas,

I just replied to a message from another gentleman on here and I may be way off base. But, I tried to do this once and it did not work. The only way that I could get it to work was to add another project() call between the two... I could have had some other issues because it has been quite a while since I had this problem and I do not remember the specific error that I got, so I am by no means saying anyone is wrong because I am sure that many of you are way more familiar with CMake than I am, this is a learning experience for me as well. I was just trying to help the guy out and when I looked at his original posting I saw "test" as the same name being passed to add_executable and add_library... I went back to look at the code again and he did have one called "test" and the other called "fan" that was my mistake and my misreading it.

My apologies for saying the wrong thing, I was only trying to help...

Eric
