Re: [CMake] ExternalProject: how to avoid reinstalling after 'make clean'?
Hi Cedric,
This is something that ExternalProject cannot really do for you in an
automatic/safe way. When you do a make clean, you wipe out all knowledge about
the installed package.
However, you can implement this yourself: Before you do the
ExternalProject_Add(eigen ...) call, you can call find_package(eigen) and if
you find the package, you just skip the ExternalProject_Add.
Cheers,
Johannes

Hello,
I use the ExternalProjet_Add function to download and install third-party
libraries.
Here is an example of a CMakeLists file containing such a call:
=
cmake_minimum_required (VERSION 2.6)
project (example CXX)
set(CMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE ON)
include(ProcessorCount)
ProcessorCount(N)
if(NOT N EQUAL 0)
set(CMAKE_BUILD_FLAGS -j${N})
endif()
include(ExternalProject)
set(EXTERNAL_DIR ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR})
ExternalProject_Add(eigen
PREFIX ${EXTERNAL_DIR}/eigen
DOWNLOAD_DIR ${EXTERNAL_DIR}/eigen/download
SOURCE_DIR ${EXTERNAL_DIR}/eigen/src
BINARY_DIR ${EXTERNAL_DIR}/eigen/build
STAMP_DIR ${EXTERNAL_DIR}/eigen/stamp
INSTALL_DIR ${EXTERNAL_DIR}/eigen/install
URL http://bitbucket.org/eigen/eigen/get/3.2.4.tar.gz
URL_MD5 4d0d77e06fef87b4fcd2c9b72cc8dc55
CMAKE_ARGS -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=INSTALL_DIR
)
=
Everything works fine, except after calling make clean.
Thanks to URL_MD5, the third-party library is not downloaded again.
However, configuration, build and install steps are performed again
whereas
the library has not been uninstalled during cleaning.
How could I tell to ExternalProject_Add not to configure/build/install my
library unless this library has been removed from my computer?
Thank you very much for your help!
Cédric
