thanks, I will just use "hello" as the executable name.

Well, I think that's the problem. I don't want to habe two
executables, I just want to compile "hello.cpp" and "print.cpp" and
link them together to one executable, that is "./hello".

Maybe my CMakeLists.txt file is wrong for the folder where "print.cpp"
and "print.h" is placed (the output dir)? I just want to tell cmake,
that there is a subdir (output) with two files (print.*) in it that
must be compiled. At the end, the files must be linked to create only
one executable out of it.

So, what must be the content of the CMakeLists.txt file in the output
directory?


Thanks a lot for your help
