Summary: libarchive supports 7-Zip, Add 7-Zip support to
cmake
Description:
As I understand cmake uses libarchive for inflating tar.gz files. This is useful
within ExternalProject_Add as you can pass in a URL of a tar.gz and cmake
handles it. Since libarchive _also_ supports inflating 7z formats can cmake also
support it?
For example, I wanted to use ExternalProject_Add with a custom build & install
step to setup the libusbx binaries [1] on windows but they are in 7z format.
[1] http://sourceforge.net/projects/libusbx/files/releases/1.0.17/binaries/
Steps to Reproduce:
ExternalProject_Add(
URL <path to 7z archive>
...
)
Is not supported
