Summary: ExternalProject commands do not support generator
expressions
Description:
ExternalProject_* does not support generator expressions. For projects such as
boost, "variant" can be set to debug or release. However, ${CONFIG} will be
either Debug or Release (note case).
Example being:
ExternalProject_Add(
boost
DOWNLOAD_COMMAND snip
SOURCE_DIR # snip
BUILD_IN_SOURCE 1
UPDATE_COMMAND ""
PATCH_COMMAND ""
CONFIGURE_COMMAND ${BOOST_BOOTSTRAP_COMMAND}
BUILD_COMMAND
b2 variant=$<LOWER_CASE:$<CONFIG>>
INSTALL_COMMAND ""
LOG_DOWNLOAD 1
LOG_CONFIGURE 1
LOG_BUILD 1
)
It's true the generator expressions might not always be sufficient, but would
certainly help.
