When the CMakeLists.txt of the submodule does not contain the project() command, the PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR variable represents the root directory of the project:
When the CMakeLists.txt of the submodule contains the project() command, the PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR variable represents the directory where the CMakeLists.txt containing project() is located:
