I am making a bunch of tests in order to verify that each library are correctly linked, and then some tests for the functionalities of my code.
I would like to have X different executable in the directory project/build/tests and I want my program to be build in project/build
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.0)
project(ProjectName)
# Linking library ...
add_executable(${PROJECT_NAME} ${SRC_LIST} ${INCLUDE_LIST})
until here, everything is fine and works as wanted but then I don't know how to tell cmake to create my tests in another directory as this does not work
add_executable(tests/OpenMP_Check tests/openmp.cpp)
my project has this architecture :
project :
To put it in a nutshell : How do I ask CMake to create my tests in another directory ?
Thanks to arrowd I managed to do it with these lines
add_executable(OpenMP_Check tests/openmp.cpp)
set_target_properties(OpenMP_Check PROPERTIES RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY "${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/tests")
After looking for the way to use "set_target_properties" (and the doc of CMake is honestly unreadable) I found this thread, which makes this question a duplicate. how do I make cmake output into a 'bin' dir?
