[CMake] ExternalProject and Visual studio solutions

[ycollette.nospam at free.fr]

Hello,

I use cmake 3.8.2 with visual studio 2013 64 bits.
I wanted to compile a thirdparty library using ExternalProject

When I do this, I meet errors: cmake is trying to read the download timestamp in the wrong directory:

the thirdparty library id build in

${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/_dep/CoinMP-1.8.3/Debug

But in the directory, I also see a 

${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/_dep/CoinMP-1.8.3/$(Configuration)

And cmake is looking at the download timestamp in the debug directory, but it's in the $(Configuration).


How can I manage correctly the value of CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR in an ExternalProject ?


I put here the part of code I use to compile this thirdparty lib:
