When you say "make the project name a target" what do you mean by that?<div><br></div><div>(1) internally create a CMake target with the given name?</div><div>(2) create a makefile target with that name that builds all the cmake targets in that cmake project?<br>
(3) something else?</div><div><br></div><div>(1) is probably not feasible for most folks -- because many people use the same name for their PROJECT statement and the main library or executable for that project.... which is already a cmake target (and a makefile target) with that name.</div>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
I was wondering whether it's a good idea to make the project name (i.e.<br>
the argument to the 'project' command) a target.<br>
<br>
Rationale: I have a project that consists of numerous sub-projects and I<br>
would like to be able to build some of these separately. Wrapping the<br>
'project' command in a macro is not a solution, because AFAIK CMake<br>
*must* see a 'project' command in the top-level CMakeLists.txt file; a<br>
'myproject' macro, wrapping the 'project' command, will not do.<br>
<br>
Any comments?<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Marcel Loose.<br>
