Hello, Please review the topic ExternalProject-independent-step-targets.
When adding step targets using ExternalProject_Add_StepTargets, the STEP_TARGETS argument, or the EP_STEP_TARGETS property, ExternalProject sets all the dependencies for the main project to that target. Due to this, the update target cannot be used without downloading and building all the dependencies. In order to be able to add step targets that do not depend on other external projects, this patch adds: * An optional "NO_DEPENDS" argument to the ExternalProject_Add_StepTargets function. If this argument is set, then no dependencies are set for the target (file dependencies will still be set). * A new argument INDEPENDENT_STEP_TARGETS to the ExternalProject_Add function and a new directory property EP_INDEPENDENT_STEP_TARGETS that behave like STEP_TARGETS and EP_STEP_TARGETS, but cause the ExternalProject_Add_StepTargets to be called with the NO_DEPENDS argument.
