CMake error when using with vcpkg

[observant2]

Hi! Thank you for these great in depth tutorials!

I am using vcpkg in Visual Studio by default and no one except vcpkg is allowed to redefine add_executable, otherwise you're stuck in an infitie recursion, because add_executable calls itself.

The error is:

1> [CMake]   Maximum recursion depth of 1000 exceeded

Here are the necessary fixes to the CMakeLists.txt:

macro( my_add_executable _type _number _name )
	set( TARGET_NAME "${_number}-${_name}" )
	file( GLOB PROJECT_FILES "${CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR}/${_type}/${_number}/*.*" )
	add_executable( ${TARGET_NAME} ${ARGN} ${PROJECT_FILES} )
	target_compile_definitions( ${TARGET_NAME} PRIVATE USE_SWAPCHAIN_EXTENSIONS )
	target_link_libraries( ${TARGET_NAME} ${PLATFORM_LIBRARY} )
	set_property( TARGET ${TARGET_NAME} PROPERTY FOLDER "${_type}" )

	if( EXISTS "${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/${_type}/${_number}/Data" )
		file( GLOB DATA_FILES "${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/${_type}/${_number}/Data/*.*" )
		file( COPY ${DATA_FILES} DESTINATION "${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/build/Data/${_type}/${_number}/" )
	endif()
endmacro()

# ...

add_executable( "01-The_Beginning" ${ALL_BASIC_SHARED_FILES}
	Tutorials/01/Tutorial01.h
	Tutorials/01/main.cpp
	Tutorials/01/Tutorial01.cpp )

target_link_libraries( "01-The_Beginning" ${PLATFORM_LIBRARY} )
set_property( TARGET "01-The_Beginning" PROPERTY FOLDER "Tutorials" )

my_add_executable( "Tutorials" "02" "Swapchain" ${ALL_BASIC_SHARED_FILES} )

my_add_executable( "Tutorials" "03" "First_Triangle" ${ALL_BASIC_AND_ADVANCED_SHARED_FILES} )

my_add_executable( "Tutorials" "04" "Vertex_Attributes" ${ALL_BASIC_AND_ADVANCED_SHARED_FILES} )

my_add_executable( "Tutorials" "05" "Staging_Resources" ${ALL_BASIC_AND_ADVANCED_SHARED_FILES} )

my_add_executable( "Tutorials" "06" "Descriptor_Sets" ${ALL_BASIC_AND_ADVANCED_SHARED_FILES} )

my_add_executable( "Tutorials" "07" "Uniform_Buffers" ${ALL_BASIC_AND_ADVANCED_SHARED_FILES} )

So basically just rename add_executable to something else. Maybe you find a more fitting name than my_add_executable.
