Reuse Clion Macros inside CMakeLists.txt

Hello!

Actually /.idea/.name contains the name from the project() command specified in the CMakeLists.txt.

In CLion I've created a project named untitled2:

In the created CMakeLists.txt this name was used in the project() command and as the target name:

Then I changed this name in both places to untitled2_renamed and reloaded the CMake project.

As a result /.idea/.name contains untitled2_renamed:

And it's the project name actually. untitled2 is only the directory name now.

What do you mean by the Clion-Project name?

I mean that these Makros should coresponse:

Clion is based on CMake, so I exspect to have the possibility to store attributes like ProjektName at one place and reuse it during Build/Debug Process.

It is confusing to maintain full path to */**untitled.elf during different Configurations.

So I want to check in Cmake for Clion-Makros or in Clion CMake-Makros all over the IDE

HARD-Coded is never a good solution.

SOLVED:

its all about the difference of:

${CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME} //defined in .name

${PROJECT_NAME} //defined in PROJECT(${CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME}) 

but namind is still irritating....

According to the CMake documentation:

CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME holds the name of the project as specified in the top level CMakeLists.txt file by a project() command. In the event that the top level CMakeLists.txt contains multiple project() calls, the most recently called one from that top level CMakeLists.txt will determine the name that CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME contains.

PROJECT_NAME is the name given to the most recently called project() command in the current directory scope or above. 

Hope it clarifies the situation.
