Given the following project structure
include\
myHeader.h
src\
main.cpp
CMakeLists.txt
the following line in the CMakeLists.txt
file
include_directories(${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/include)
adds the include
directory to the include search path of the compiler for all targets defined in this directory (and all its subdirectories included via add_subdirectory()
).
Thus, the file myHeader.h
in the project's include
subdirectory can be included via #include "myHeader.h"
in the main.cpp
file.
