Found the error, thank you anyway - you guys are allways a good way to get help about cmake, i'm starting to understand cmake slowly but it's getting easier and easier, cmake is a great build system.

Hi everyone, I've troubles with ExternalProject_Add: when i do build the library manualy (clone the repo and build it with mkdir build;cd build; cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:String=Release -DGLAD_INSTALL=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/stuv/glad_examples) it does work and i've the installation at /home/stuv/glad_examples. But the external project add seems to miss an argument because he doesn't install anything. Here the code of ExternalProject_Add: ExternalProject_Add(external_glad PREFIX ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/glad GIT_REPOSITORY ${GLAD_REPO} GIT_TAG ${GLAD_TAG} GIT_PROGRESS true GIT_SHALLOW True SOURCE_DIR ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/glad-src INSTALL_DIR ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/glad-download CMAKE_ARGS -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:String=${CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE} -DGLAD_INSTALL=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=${OUTPUT_PATH}/glad ) I hope someone here does see my problem. best regards!
