Summary

A top-level CMakeList.txt is required
because CMake does not like importing from sibling directories.
Instead it's best practices to have CMake add the
related subdirectories, and then add the link dependencies
from the parent directory.

This is part of a larger effort to bring more structure to the C++ codebase https://linear.app/comm/issue/ENG-1310/export-nativecpp-projects-as-cmake-projects

The intent is to be able to reference the dependencies as packages, instead of just as GLOB'ing over certain directories; which is a major anti-pattern in CMake as it create a bunch of footguns such as finding multiple files with main() defined, or picking up unrelated code in generated folders.

Test Plan
nix develop 
cd native/cpp/CommonCpp/
rm -rf build && mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. && make -j
# should build everything under CommonCpp

looks like a bad merge resolution. Thanks

@jonringer-comm, repeating some feedback I've left for you previously. Would be great if you could integrate this feedback going forward... it would save both you and your reviewers time if we can reduce the number of times feedback has to be repeated to you.

Same issues as I highlighted in D3867:

  1. Close parens are not indented properly
  2. Extraneous newlines at the end of the file

Update diff with changes to protobuf CMake Project

My feedback above has not been addressed. @jonringer-comm – if you update a diff without addressing comments, you should hit "Plan Changes" to keep it off your reviewers' queues

Sorry about that, was trying to get CI good again

Awesome, resigning to let somebody else take a pass

Update with newer grpc target names

Parentheses and newlines again...

@jonringer-comm, we really have to get to a point where you're not putting up diffs with these issues. It's a waste of everybody's time for this to be discussed in code review. (I have shared this feedback previously here and here.)

Can you give this suggestion a read (adding a CMake Linter)? That might be the easiest way to resolve these issues going forward.

Nice, this looks super clean.

Will pretty much auto-Accept once parenthesis/newline issues are resolved

Ah dang, whatever changed after rebasing and whatnot is leading to the following when following the Test Plan:

/Users/atul/comm/native/cpp/CommonCpp/NativeModules/../CryptoTools/CryptoModule.h:7:10: fatal error: 'olm/olm.h' file not found
