[Cmake] Configuring a subdirectory with CMake

[Miller, James V (Research)]

Andy, 

That was one of the options I listed in the posting. While I agree that this
will work, it adds 3 lines to every CMakeLists.txt file.  Do you
think a feature "should" be added to CMake to make this cleaner?

What if in a subdirectory CMakeLists.txt file we put a command 
(don't get hung up on the name)

PARENT(InsightApplications)  

When CMake sees this command, it checks to see if it was already seen
the parent project InsightApplications.  If it hasn't, then it issues
a warning.

PARENT is probably not the right name.

Hi Jim,

Put in root CMakeLists.txt:

SET(ROOT_IS_SET 1)

and then in subdirectories:

IF(NOT ROOT_IS_SET)
  MESSAGE(FATAL_ERROR "CMake has to be called in the root directory:
${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/..!")
ENDIF(NOT ROOT_IS_SET)
