... then the project never rebuilds, since reconfigure and rebuild
depend on update.
So if you modify a source file of a project without a download
command, then
superbuild will not rebuild the project.
Ahem. "If you modify a source file of a project" then *you* should rebuild the project.
ExternalProject does not now and never will handle inter-project source-level dependencies properly (with minimal rebuilds). That's what add_subdirectory and "interal projects" are all about.
You can try to make EP do what you want, but .... if you are modifying these things then they are NOT really "External."
You can "Square peg. Round hole. Make it fit with brute force CMake code anyway." as much as you want.
But I wouldn't do that. ;-) D -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
