[CMake] Cross compile an external makefile project.

[Jeff Shanab]

I have a project to port to the raspberry pi.

I managed to get boost to cross-compile with the externalproject_Add on windows and am trying to do something similar with curl.

Because curl uses make and not bjam, I switched over to a linux build agent but I am having difficulty.

Everything seems good at the beginning, it detects my compiler and the linux build but then before the un-tar stage it says changes have been made  that require restarting cmake and it then fails to detect the compiler and stops.

Cmake is 2.8.7 on Ubuntu build image.

Is there an example of combining cross-compiling with an externalProject_add. {There are a lot of options for a trial and error technique, I am getting tired of guessing :)}

BTW. Does it set and pass CC variables and prefixes that are in the cmake settings or do I have to manually pass them like I did with bjam.

Thanks.
