I'm pretty sure the original intent was for file(DOWNLOAD ...) to not raise errors so that scripts can analyze status and log and decide what to do next rather than forcing a CMake error...
I recently added EXPECTED_MD5 to file(DOWNLOAD in the 'next' branch of CMake. If a download fails when there's an expected MD5 sum given, then it *does* raise an error. Perhaps you'll find that useful in the next release... Cheers, David C. On Fri, Jun 4, 2010 at 7:55 AM, David Cole <david.c...@kitware.com> wrote: > What if you do something this...?
