Hi, how does the ExternalProject interact with subsequent find_library calls?
I've seen projects building dependencies through ExternalProject, but those would the project manually by querying ExternalProject and adding a new imported target. How would I connect an ExternalProject to one or more find_library calls? Is there a downside from configure taking an unknown amount of time? My expectation was that there is no timeout for the configure step. Cheers, Matthäus Am 24.09.2015 um 22:30 schrieb Bill Hoffman: > On 9/24/2015 4:26 PM, Matthäus G.
