It does, generally, in the way that ExternalProject also fits, but I think would require writing wrapper scripts. My specific use case was something like: cmake -E curl http://jenkins/buildA/artifacts/stuff.tar cmake -E tar xzf stuff.tar cmake -Hstuff/path/to/CMakeLists/ -Bbuild_dir cmake --build build_dir I thought 'curl' is sort of at the level of 'tar', in being a useful tool that could be exposed fairly easily in a cmake portable command. Those portable commands are another thing that CMake offers that makes working on Windows a little easier, if you don't already have Cygwin or the like. -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
