Re: [CMake] Boost external project doesn't build with VS2010 generator
David,
Yes, adding call to the front of the command works. Thanks! Would be
great to get that fixed for 2.8.7, as I spent a good portion of
yesterday racking my brain about this.
I also discovered that, if using a variable to build the
CONFIGURE_COMMAND, that variable should be a list, rather than a
space-separated string. Would be nice to document that, too.
Thanks,
Ben

How / where should that be documented? Where would you have looked for

That's how all the *_COMMAND args for ExternalProject are...
I think it would be better expressed through example/sample code that
uses variables, but I'm not sure where the best place to put the

Re: [CMake] Boost external project doesn't build with VS2010 generator
I tend to use the online documentation:
http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/cmake-2-8-docs.html#module:ExternalProject
But I agree that an example would also be useful. Perhaps the wiki
could have examples of how to use external project with common 3rd
party libs (e.g. boost, Qt).
