Assuming the following configuration : 

parentdir1/parentdir2/myproject
parentdir1/parentdir2/myproject/CMakeLists.txt
parentdir1/parentdir2/myproject/src
parentdir1/parentdir2/myproject/src/dir1
parentdir1/parentdir2/myproject/src/dir2
parentdir1/parentdir2/myproject/src/dir3

Currently, my CMakeLists produces only one Makefile in parentdir1/parentdir2/myproject.

How to produce a Makefile in each subdirectory (to compile the associated directory) ?

Thank you very much.

    CMake allows you to have a CMakeLists.txt file in any subdirectory under the root directory of your source tree.

    Then use the add_subdirectory command in CMakeLists.txt to add the subdirectories. Then CMake will look for CMakeLists.txt in those subdirectories.

    See the documentation for the add_subdirectory command here:

    http://cmake.org/cmake/help/cmake-2-8-docs.html#command:add_subdirectory

    For more info, check out the CMake FAQ and documentation on http://www.cmake.org.
