Ah! That makes sense. So I have a project (say a single CMakeLists.txt) which just contains one or more ExternalProject_Add (maybe other things too, but not much else), and then the subprojects can sensibly get at previous subprojects. And those can be ordered using DEPENDS. OK, I see how that can work. Thanks (and apologies, I'm sure I've read that advice before but probably I didn't understand it then). -- 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.
