I've been having great success with using ExternalProject over the terrible git submodules. However, when using Visual Studio, the following error happens:
Performing download step (git clone) for 'catch-lib' 2> Cloning into 'catch-lib'... 2> Note: checking out 'tags/v1.3.4'. 2> 2> You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental 2> changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this 2> state without impacting any branches by performing another checkout. 2> 2> If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may 2> do so (now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example: 2> 2> git checkout -b <new-branch-name> 2> 2> HEAD is now at 3b4edd7... Build for v1.3.4 2> fatal: 'submodule' appears to be a git command, but we were not 2> able to execute it. Maybe git-submodule is broken? 2> CMake Error at C:/Users/kevin/dev/sol2/vendor/tmp/catch-lib-gitclone.cmake:58 (message): 2> Failed to init submodules in: 2> 'C:/Users/kevin/dev/sol2/vendor/src/catch-lib' The CMake file is located here: https://github.com/Nava2/sol2/blob/cmake-build/CMakeLists.txt Steps I've verified: - git.exe is on my system PATH - The submodule URL is valid - Builds on OSX/Linux - Reinstalled git (twice) I'm new to Visual Studio (I work primarily with Linux/OSX), so I'm sure I'm missing something along the way.
