[CMake] Question regarding External Project add and VTK

[Jean-Christophe Fillion-Robin]

Hi Jameson,

There is indeed a recipe, assuming you are using
ExternalProjectDependency.cmake from Artichoke [1], if you pass the
variable to your project using ${CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR} it will be automatically
passed as CMAKE_ARGS (instead of CMAKE_CACHE_ARGS) to external project and
it will be expended appropriately at build time.

For example, see [2] and [3]

For reference, consider also reading [4]

Let me know if you would like me to clarify,
Jc
