Yes, this is a possible application. I am using the directory name because that already has to be chosen during export and does not add an additional grouping the user has to remember and match to the symbol names in CMake. > The exported CMakeLists.txt will call the function you created, > basically adding all the .cpp and .h files. > > If the module needs extra CMake commands (adding libraries, setting > variables, ...), the user will just edit the generated file once > (leaving the call to your function).

Thank you for those suggestions, i tried to work them into the file. Also i tried to incorporate Joergs comment about "less code"; Assuming that it would be possible to add all the "helper" functions into the forte distribution the resulting file could like the attached example (except the INCLUDE-line) Best regards, Ernst
INCLUDE("helpers.cmake")
forte_add_directory_module()
forte_add_all_sourcefiles()
Attachment:
helpers.cmake
