Summary0010448: ExternalProject_Add does not work with existing SOURCE_DIR
DescriptionThe documentation says: "If SOURCE_DIR is explicitly set to an existing directory the project will be built from it." So I assume setting SOURCE_DIR explicitly is supposed to skip the download step and build directly from the existing source.

Unfortunately, this is not working, but results in the error message:
"please specify existing SOURCE_DIR or one of URL, CVS_REPOSITORY and CVS_MODULE, SVN_REPOSITORY or DOWNLOAD_COMMAND"
Additional InformationI tried the following command to include an automake-based sub-project that is part of the same repository as the main cmake-based project.

ExternalProject_Add(
  myproject
  PREFIX myproject
  SOURCE_DIR ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/myproject
  CONFIGURE_COMMAND <SOURCE_DIR>/configure
)

Copying the source directory is not an option, as that loses the dependencies on the original source files and future calls to make will not properly rebuild the sub-project.
TagsNo tags attached.
