That method does NOT work with windows... And since the visual studio project has the external as a single command, (not sure if its calling nmake or the new build cmd) the proeject is not run in parallel.
I am pretty sure ExternalProject_Add only works with generators associated with build commands you can run from the command line such as make, nmake, jom, ninja, etc.. So, for MSVC the way you arrange that is avoid all the visual studio generators, and instead use one of "NMake Makefiles", "NMake Makefiles JOM", or "Ninja". Alan __________________________ Alan W.
