23 * \brief Specify a list of subdirectories to build.
25 * cmSubdirCommand specifies a list of subdirectories to process
26 * by CMake. For each subdirectory listed, CMake will descend
27 * into that subdirectory and process any CMakeLists.txt found.

33 * This is a virtual constructor for the command.

* Clone()
37 return new cmSubdirCommand
;
41 * This is called when the command is first encountered in
42 * the CMakeLists.txt file.

69 "Add a list of subdirectories to the build. The add_subdirectory "
70 "command should be used instead of subdirs although subdirs will "
72 "This will cause any CMakeLists.txt files in the sub directories "
73 "to be processed by CMake. Any directories after the PREORDER flag "
74 "are traversed first by makefile builds, the PREORDER flag has no "
75 "effect on IDE projects. "
76 " Any directories after the EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL marker "
77 "will not be included in the top level makefile or project file. "
78 "This is useful for having CMake create makefiles or projects for "
79 "a set of examples in a project. You would want CMake to "
80 "generate makefiles or project files for all the examples at "
81 "the same time, but you would not want them to show up in the "
82 "top level project or be built each time make is run from the top.";
