How to avoid duplicate compile for each sub directory in which CMakeLists is defined with same resources.
I can't publish here actual CMakeLists and compile output for my company resource names.
I have a tree structure for my project.
```
root
|- src
|- resource1.cpp
|_ resource2.cpp
|_test
|- test1
|- test2
```
test1 and test2 folder has each CMakeLists, but use same resources in src folder.
But I run "make" on the root directory. (actually ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR} = project root/cmake-build-debug folder)
When this situation, each test folder has independent directory in which compiled objects stored.
During compile time I got this message :
```
test/test1/CmakeFiles/executablename1.dir/_/_/src/resource1.cpp.o
test/test1/CmakeFiles/executablename1.dir/_/_/src/resource2.cpp.o
test/test1/CmakeFiles/executablename2.dir/_/_/src/resource1.cpp.o
test/test1/CmakeFiles/executablename2.dir/_/_/src/resource2.cpp.o
test/test2/CmakeFiles/executablename1.dir/_/_/src/resource1.cpp.o
test/test2/CmakeFiles/executablename1.dir/_/_/src/resource2.cpp.o
test/test2/CmakeFiles/executablename2.dir/_/_/src/resource1.cpp.o
test/test2/CmakeFiles/executablename2.dir/_/_/src/resource2.cpp.o
```
I use same resource in same time. but compilation time is growing exponentially whenever I add test case executable and test folders.
How can I do just 1 compile for same resources ?

Hi!
Sorry for the delay. It looks really weird. Is it possible for you to send us a project to reproduce (to clion-support at jetbrains.com)?
