[SOLVED] How can I get the name of the project containing the current sub-project?

Issue

With cmake, in a CMakeLists.txt file I can get the the name of the root project with CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME, and the name of the current subproject with PROJECT_NAME.

Is there a way to get the name of the project at the level immediately above the current one?

Solution

You could check the PROJECT_NAME before the project() call in the current scope, which will give you the project name of the parent scope:

# Gives the project name of the parent scope.
message(${PROJECT_NAME})

# Define the project name for the current scope.
project(MyInnerProj)

# Now, gives the project name of the current scope: 'MyInnerProj'.
message(${PROJECT_NAME})
