[CMake] ExternalProject_add and add_subdirectory in one step

[Franz Engel]

Hi,

I try to clone an repository from my bare-repository and to build my project tree. Therefore I use the following commands:

ExternalProject_Add ( demoA
       PREFIX ${MAIN_PATH}/demoA
       GIT_REPOSITORY ${REPOSITORY_PATH}/demoA
       GIT_TAG origin/master
       UPDATE_COMMAND ""
       INSTALL_COMMAND "" )

add_subdirectory(${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/../demoA/src/DemoA ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/demoA)

Know I have the following problem. I load the Cmake-file with QtCreator. If I run CMake I get the error message "does not contain a CMakeLists.txt file". That message is clear for me, because the repository only get loaded 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?

Br,
    Franz
