7# download_project( PROJ projectName
9# [DOWNLOAD_DIR downloadDir]
16# Provides the ability to download and unpack a tarball, zip file, git repository,
17# etc. at configure time (i.e. when the cmake command is run). How the downloaded
18# and unpacked contents are used is up to the caller, but the motivating case is
19# to download source code which can then be included directly in the build with
20# add_subdirectory() after the call to download_project(). Source and build
21# directories are set up with this in mind.
23# The PROJ argument is required. The projectName value will be used to construct
24# the following variables upon exit (obviously replace projectName with its actual
27# projectName_SOURCE_DIR
28# projectName_BINARY_DIR
30# The SOURCE_DIR and BINARY_DIR arguments are optional and would not typically
31# need to be provided. They can be specified if you want the downloaded source
32# and build directories to be located in a specific place. The contents of
33# projectName_SOURCE_DIR and projectName_BINARY_DIR will be populated with the
34# locations used whether you provide SOURCE_DIR/BINARY_DIR or not.
36# The DOWNLOAD_DIR argument does not normally need to be set. It controls the
37# location of the temporary CMake build used to perform the download.
39# The PREFIX argument can be provided to change the base location of the default
40# values of DOWNLOAD_DIR, SOURCE_DIR and BINARY_DIR. If all of those three arguments
41# are provided, then PREFIX will have no effect. The default value for PREFIX is
44# The QUIET option can be given if you do not want to show the output associated
45# with downloading the specified project.
47# In addition to the above, any other options are passed through unmodified to
48# ExternalProject_Add() to perform the actual download, patch and update steps.
49# The following ExternalProject_Add() options are explicitly prohibited (they
50# are reserved for use by the download_project() command):
57# Only those ExternalProject_Add() arguments which relate to downloading, patching
58# and updating of the project sources are intended to be used. Also note that at
59# least one set of download-related arguments are required.
61# If using CMake 3.2 or later, the UPDATE_DISCONNECTED option can be used to
62# prevent a check at the remote end for changes every time CMake is run
63# after the first successful download. See the documentation of the ExternalProject
64# module for more information. It is likely you will want to use this option if it
65# is available to you. Note, however, that the ExternalProject implementation contains
66# bugs which result in incorrect handling of the UPDATE_DISCONNECTED option when
67# using the URL download method or when specifying a SOURCE_DIR with no download
68# method. Fixes for these have been created, the last of which is scheduled for
69# inclusion in CMake 3.8.0. Details can be found here:

74# If you experience build errors related to the update step, consider avoiding
75# the use of UPDATE_DISCONNECTED.
