I would recommend using EXTERNALPROJECT_ADD.
http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/cmake-2-8-docs.html#module:ExternalProject.
Though I am not building in ITK as of yet I am using VTKEdge which depends
on VTK
--snip vtkedge_config.cmake --
macro( vtkedge_config )
set( VTK_EDGE_PACKAGE VTKEdge-5-4-0 )
unpack( ${PLATFORM_DIR}/VTKEdge/
VTKEdge-5-4-0.zip ${THIRD_PARTY_PACKAGE_DIR} )
include_directories(
${INSTALL_PREFIX}/include/VTKEdge
)
ExternalProject_Add(
${VTK_EDGE_PACKAGE}
DOWNLOAD_COMMAND ""
SOURCE_DIR ${TOP}/source/cpp/lib/3rdParty/Win/${VTK_EDGE_PACKAGE}
BINARY_DIR ${BUILD_DIR}/ouput/bin/${VTK_EDGE_PACKAGE}
INSTALL_DIR ${INSTALL_PREFIX}
CMAKE_ARGS
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=${INSTALL_PREFIX}
-DINSTALL_PREFIX=${INSTALL_PREFIX}
${VTK_DEFINES}
)
endmacro()
--end snip--
In my top level CMakeLists.txt file I call as follows
--snip CMakelists.txt --
...
...
include( vtkedge_config.cmake )
...
...
...
compiler_config()
cuda_config()
boost_config()
#dcmtk_config()
vtk_config()
vtkedge_config()
matlab_config()
...
...
...
--end snip--
It is only boost, and only by patching, that I can get to play nice using
add_subdirectory. I would be interested to hear your trials and
tribulations with add_subdirectory and third party source.
