[CMake] How to manage dependencies between projects in Visual Studio

[Luca Gherardi]

I'm working with Visual Studio and I need to create the CMakeLists files for
the following scenario.

 

I have a project A, which contains the sources for a library.

This project has its own CMakeLists and generates a lib (add_library).

 

I have a second project B, which contains the sources from an executable and
uses the library generated by A.

I would like to setup its CMakeLists in such a way that:

 

-        The Visual Studio solution generated from the CMakeLists of B
includes the projects for A and B

-        The project A should be just a link to the project generated with
the CMakeLists of A. In other words I would like to avoid duplications of
compilation files. I would like that the file generated for A by a
compilation started from the solution of A were stored in the same path of
the file generated for A by a compilation started from the solution of B.

 

Is that possible?

I know it is possible to do it with visual studio, but I don't know how to
do it with CMake.

 

Thanks in advance.
