That's very nice indeed :)
My complete configuration for the external library is now
~~~~
externalproject_add(gtest-external
SOURCE_DIR ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/gtest
BINARY_DIR gtest-build
INSTALL_COMMAND "" # omit installation
)
add_library(gtest STATIC IMPORTED)
set_target_properties(gtest PROPERTIES
IMPORTED_LOCATION ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/gtest-build/libgtest.a
IMPORTED_LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES -lpthread
INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/gtest/include
)
~~~~
And all I need a user of the library to do is
~~~~
target_link_libraries(one_test gtest)
~~~~
Sweet!
Thanks for all the help.
