Hello all, I have another issue with ExternalProject.
If I add 2 external projects (A and B), with B DEPENDS=A, and STEP_TARGETS=update, I expect to be able to update B without updating, building and installing A, since just updating the code is obviously not dependent. I tried to look at ExternalProject.cmake, and the code seems to handle this exactly as I expect, setting the dependency only for the configure command. * update depends on download * download depends on gitinfo.txt and mkdir * mkdir depends on nothing * gitinfo.txt is generated by configure_file Unfortunately, for some reason that I cannot understand, it does not work as expected, and if I run make B-update, A is built before B update. You can reproduce this issue with this small test: https://github.com/drdanz/ep_test Any idea about the reason why this happens and how to fix this?
