Hi all
I have a few questions concerning the new ExternalProject module
(which, by the way is fantastic and really simplifies my code).
1. From my understanding of the ExternalProject_Add documentation,
shouldn't INSTALL_DIR be passed on the configure-line as -
DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=$
I have nothing to say for 1. and 2. but I also would like to see 3. in
CMake. Currently I am patching some third_party sources to suit my
needs and it would be easier for me if patch was added as an CMake -E
command.
I was considering making a feature request but since Michael has
mentioned
I have to mention that implementing a patching facility in CMake would
probably be a considerable effort. Perhaps http://www.xmailserver.org/xdiff-lib.html
could be of use there. This library would also allow to implement '-
E diff', although I'm not sure whether that would be useful at all...
