How to prepend all filenames on the list with common path?

Question

How can I prepend all filenames on the list with a common path prefix automatically? For instance having a list of files in CMakeLists.txt:

SET(SRC_FILES foo         


        

Answer 1

Following function may be what you want.

FUNCTION(PREPEND var prefix)
   SET(listVar "")
   FOREACH(f ${ARGN})
      LIST(APPEND listVar "${prefix}/${f}")
   ENDFOREACH(f)
   SET(${var} "${listVar}" PARENT_SCOPE)
ENDFUNCTION(PREPEND)

To use it,

PREPEND(FILES_TO_TRANSLATE ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR} ${SRC_FILES})
