Hi Jameson,
That is indeed the idea.
To clarify even further,
1) the call to
ExternalProject_Include_Dependencies [1]
should be added before "ExternalProject_Add". It will recursively include
the needed dependencies.
2) By simply adding an additional parameter:
by default ${_EP_AR
Jc,
Thanks a lot this may be exactly what I am looking for.
Basically I include ExternalProjectDependency in my project, then
mark_as_superbuild() options/vars that I want to pass back to the 'normal'
build. Add the external project with 'CMAKE_CACHE_ARGS' and this will pass
those variables to
Are there some good examples of why one would use bracket arguments? I'm
trying to understand the anticipated use cases. The bracket comments are
great for a /**/ substitute.

Hi Jameson,
To specifically address the issue you described, I started to develop an
(experimental) module extending ExternalProject and providing some
convenience function.
Documentation is far from being perfect but looking at
(1) the tests: https://github.com/commontk/Artichoke/tree/master/
I see, that makes a lot of sense. And in order to pass options from the
'superbuild' build to the 'normal' build you make them options as command
line args in your ExternalProhect_Add command? i.e.:
set( proj my_prog )
ExternalProject_Add( ${proj}
DOWNLOAD_COMMAND ""
SOURCE_DIR "${${p

There's a lot of legacy examples around the web but not too many using the
newer features. What is the current best practise?
Here's some simple examples

Are these patterns or anti-patterns?

Hello,
I want to add VTK as an external project, but I have a few questions.
Looking online at examples of other projects using vtk as an external
project, many of them use a 'superbuild' style technique (example here from
the archives: [1]).
By that I mean that they have some option to enable
