<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Franz.<br><br>The "canonical" approach to ExternalProject is to use a "superbuild" setup. Design your top-level CMakeList so that it *only* contains ExternalProject_add() calls, treating your "original" project as just another external project. Build the superbuild once, getting all the dependencies downloaded, built, installed etc. as necessary. Then, switch to working with only your "original" project subcomponent of the superbuild.<br><br></div>Petr<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Feb 5, 2015 at 5:32 PM, Franz Engel <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:franz.engel@apworks.de" target="_blank">franz.engel@apworks.de</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

when I compile the code. The question is, if it is possible to clone the repo in the step of CMake. Does somebody has an idea? Or is there another method to build the project tree?<u></u><u></u></span></p>
