Hi everyone,

I've troubles with ExternalProject_Add:

when i do build the library  manualy (clone the repo and build it with
mkdir build;cd build; cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:String=Release
-DGLAD_INSTALL=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/stuv/glad_examples) it
does work and i've the installation at /home/stuv/glad_examples.


But the external project add seems to miss an argument because he
doesn't install anything.

Here the code of ExternalProject_Add:

ExternalProject_Add(external_glad
         PREFIX ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/glad
         GIT_REPOSITORY ${GLAD_REPO}
         GIT_TAG ${GLAD_TAG}
         GIT_PROGRESS true
         GIT_SHALLOW True
         SOURCE_DIR ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/glad-src
         INSTALL_DIR ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/glad-download
         CMAKE_ARGS -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:String=${CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE} -DGLAD_INSTALL=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=${OUTPUT_PATH}/glad

)

I hope someone here does see my problem.


best regards!
