Somehow I am totally confused by how CMake works. Every time I think that I am getting closer to understand how CMake is meant to be written, it vanishes in the next example I read. All I want to know is, how should I structure my project, so that my CMake requires the least amount of maintainance in the future. For example, I don&#39;t want to update my CMakeList.txt when I am adding a new folder in my src tree, that works exactly like all other src folders.

This is how I imagine my project&#39;s structure, but please this is only an example. If the recommended way differs, please tell me, and tell me how to do it.


    myProject
        src/
            module1/
                module1.h
                module1.cpp
            module2/
                [...]
            main.cpp
        test/
            test1.cpp
        resources/
            file.png
        bin
            [execute cmake ..]

By the way, it is important that my program knows where the resources are. I would like to know the recommended way of managing resources. I do not want to access my resources with &quot;../resources/file.png&quot;
