[CMake] Preventing CMakeLists from being too similar

[Crast, Nicholas]

Hi guys,

I have a question for you about general practices. I have a top level directory with a bunch of modules inside:

Nick
|
|module1
|module2
|module3

Module1, module2, and module3 are subdirectories inside of the nick directory. Each module directory contains src,inc and test (gtest unit test files).

These modules are pretty similar in structure, meaning the CMakeLists files are almost identical. Is there any way to make some sort of generic CMakeLists file that I can call with arguments for all 3 modules? I'm having the same issue with unit tests, where the unit test section for my CMakeLists is essentially identical between the modules.

Thoughts?

-Nick
