All, I originally planned to ask this question directly on this mailing list, but it got a bit more involved, so I posted it to stackoverflow instead. I'm interested if anyone can shed some more authoritative light on the proposed method for the following question:
http://stackoverflow.com/q/36084785/1938798 *Short version*: invoke a nested cmake-and-build immediately within the main CMake run to build a specific target via execute_process(). This makes that tool available for use still within the same (main) CMake run. An ExternalProject-based technique would normally be a better solution, but in this particular case, that wasn't possible. I'd be interested if anyone can confirm whether the suggested approach is guaranteed to be safe for all generators and platforms, or whether there are other factors I have not considered in the proposed technique.
