Summary

0015588: New behavior of ExternalProject_Add command

Description

ExternalProject_Add provides great functionality but IMO very uncomfortable. The problem is that command perform all actions on build step and clean command removes all results.

Is it possible change command behavior (or provide new one for instance add_subproject) which:
1) Preforms download and configure steps along with configure step of main project
2) Does not add to clean target all unziped or downloaded files, but adds additional command (for inctance make clean-all or dist-clean) which does that.

ExternalProject_Add and find_package commands

Notes
(0038915) Valerii Kanunik (reporter) 2015-06-12 04:39	A little explanation of what the functionality required. Usually to the project as an external projects adds libraries which do not change, for instance unit test frameworks etc. So it is required build them ones on configure step and forget about them. And then do make all and make clean for your work projects that will change.
