Can't seem to set up a top level CMakeLists.txt for the entire code gallery
This might need @tamiko 's input:
I've gotten tired of configuring and compiling each code gallery program individually, so I tried to set up this CMakeLists.txt file in the top level of the code gallery:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.13.4)
project(code-gallery)
add_subdirectory(advection_reaction_estimator)
Interestingly, this does not work. When I create a build directory and call cmake .. from there, the output is the following:
-- The CXX compiler identification is GNU 4.8.5
-- Detecting CXX compiler ABI info
-- Detecting CXX compiler ABI info - failed
-- Check for working CXX compiler: /usr/bin/c++
-- Check for working CXX compiler: /usr/bin/c++ - broken
CMake Error at /raid/bangerth/bin/share/cmake-3.20/Modules/CMakeTestCXXCompiler.cmake:59 (message):
The C++ compiler
"/usr/bin/c++"
is not able to compile a simple test program.
It fails with the following output:

That is, it errors out while trying to identify a C++ compiler, which it takes from /usr/bin, but this is not the one I want it to use nor the one it should find via my $PATH:
which c++
/scratch/local/gcc-11.2.0/bin/c++
It is also not the one it should inherit from the deal.II configuration system. (The specific error you see above is because I do `export CXXFLAGS=-std=c++20 which the system compiler predictably does not understand, it being GCC 4.8.)
Curiously, if I call cmake from the subdirectory into which I asked cmake to recurse (namely, advection_reaction_estimator), then this all works:
code-gallery/build> cd ../advection_reaction_estimator/
reaction_estimator> cmake .

How do we make this work? Or is setting up multiple deal.II-based projects at once just not supported?
I wouldn't expect in a CMake project that the compiler is inferred from any of the dependencies and specifying the compiler explicitly should still work. I am getting

Ah, interesting. Using -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER actually works -- though it's not clear to me because I don't have to do that when configuring the individual code gallery programs, nor when configuring deal.II. It just gets the compiler from $PATH.
Anyway, the next problem we run into is then this:
CMake Error at /home/fac/g/bangerth/p/deal.II/1/install/share/deal.II/macros/macro_deal_ii_invoke_autopilot.cmake:89 (add_custom_target):

the same name already exists. The existing target is a custom target

Right. This would work better if we were to use a more CMake-native approach again. 🙂 Something like
diff --git a/advection_reaction_estimator/CMakeLists.txt b/advection_reaction_estimator/CMakeLists.txt

Yes. Once @tamiko has this all in a stable state, that's what we may want to do with the tutorials first, and then also the code gallery...
