[jira] [Commented] (PROTON-1638) Need to improve proton-c build tree layout

Jiri Daněk commented on PROTON-1638:
------------------------------------

Would you also consider adding header files to the build targets in CMake build files? This is something that C++ IDEs (be it QT Creator, Kdevelop, or Clion) require to work properly. [1], [2] If you aren't aware of any downsides of this, I'd like to try this after the repository layout is changed, and if it works for me, propose a patch.

> The proton-c tree layout is annoying in a number of ways:
> * Since the split with proton-j there is a superfluous top level
> * CMake build flags don't propagate properly because examples are not in the correct subtree
> ** Examples should be in the binding subtree that they are examples
> ** Otherwise the information for a particular binding and its examples are split into 2 different parts of the proton-c tree.
> ** This means that the installation for a binding is split
> ** It is unatural in CMake to split build flags like this - CMake is hierarchical
