Hi, BUILD_BYPRODUCTS works very well with external projects and ninja :-) I'd like to propose a small enhancement: replace the location tags like <BINARY_DIR> by their real path in BUILD_BYPRODUCTS, in order to let the developer specify the byproducts without explicitly setting the external project binary dir.
See the attached patch. Exposing _ep_replace_location_tags with a prettier name would also be nice. An example using that feature: https://github.com/glehmann/gtest-external/blob/byproduct-subst/gtest.cmake Thanks, Gaëtan
