Hi,<br>
<br>
For what it's worth, I would also mention a larger superbuild project at<br>
CERN called LCGsoft:<br>
<a href="http://svnweb.cern.ch/world/wsvn/lcgsoft/trunk/lcgcmake/" target="_blank">http://svnweb.cern.ch/world/wsvn/lcgsoft/trunk/lcgcmake/</a><br>
<br>
They built macros on top of ExternalProject_Add, see<br>
cmake/modules/lcgsoft-macros.cmake. Maybe some parts of this design are<br>
interesting to you. I have never used this myself, so I don't know the<br>
details.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Yngve<br>
