Hello First off, much thanks to all the contributors of cmake. A truly invaluable build utility. Your efforts are greatly appreciated.
I've been successfully using cmake to build an external project (the client library for redis, hiredis) that has already been downloaded. I was able to do this with BUILD_IN_SOURCE set to true, like so: ExternalProject_Add(hiredis PREFIX ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/hiredis SOURCE_DIR ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/hiredis BUILD_IN_SOURCE 1 CONFIGURE_COMMAND echo configure BUILD_COMMAND make static INSTALL_COMMAND echo install) However, now i'd like to automatically download the source from github. So, I switch to the following: set(HIREDIS_DIR ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/hiredis) set(HIREDIS_INCLUDE_DIRS ${HIREDIS_DIR}/include) ExternalProject_Add(hiredis URL https://github.com/redis/hiredis/archive/v0.9.0.tar.gz PREFIX ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/hiredis SOURCE_DIR ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/hiredis DOWNLOAD_DIR ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/hiredis BUILD_IN_SOURCE 1 CONFIGURE_COMMAND "" BUILD_COMMAND make static INSTALL_COMMAND "") *And I get the following error:* [ 3%] Creating directories for 'hiredis' [ 6%] Performing download step (download, verify and extract) for 'hiredis' -- Downloading... dst='/home/david/projects/clipseekr/hiredis/v0.9.0.tar.gz' timeout='none' -- Using src='https://github.com/redis/hiredis/archive/v0.9.0.tar.gz' -- Downloading... done -- extracting... src='/home/david/projects/clipseekr/hiredis/v0.9.0.tar.gz' dst='/home/david/projects/clipseekr/hiredis' -- extracting...

How do I just run the the "make static" command directly? Once again, thanks. starkdg
