[CMake] Convince Cmake to use a compile rule without having aLIBRARY or EXECUTABLE target

[dieter oberkofler]

My goal would be to have one target for the (main) executable itself
depending on all source files (grouped in subdirectories) and one target to
simply compile the source files in each individual subdirectory. (without
linking or any other rules).
In order to do so, i would need to create the objects of all needed targes
in one common directory.
I'm actually having a similar problem when trying to setup several language
dependent executable targets that should use a unique set of oebjcts because
only the resources are different for each language.
Thank you,
Dieter

http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_Useful_Variables has variables for putting
executable and library files in a common directory, but I don't see anything
for object files.  Do you actually need object files in a common directory?
Why?

	In our (relatively large) project, we sometimes "just" want to
compile (check for syntax) a part (typically one directory) of the complete
project. This very often saves a lot of time just to figure out that a small
error fails the complete project to rebuild. Another option I hat tried, was
to create several (library) targets that would be used to build the
individual source directories but this failed because I did not find a way
to convince CMake to put all objects (I've also ask on this list for help on
this) in the main target build directory.

	What would you be trying to compile?
