Hi,

I'm developing a project that is a kind of wrapper of
ExternalProject_Add and
allow it to be more reusable. User interface is quite simple.

For anybody interested, here is a github project:

* https://github.com/ruslo/hunter

Recently posted on reddit:

e_manager_for_c/

Any thoughts of including such a project in CMake?
Just for your information there is no need to include all this project, 
the entry point to everything is HunterGate.cmake module (500 lines of 
CMake code): 
https://github.com/hunter-packages/gate/blob/master/cmake/HunterGate.cmake


I will be happy to add it to CMake's standard modules so users can avoid 
one copy/paste step, if CMake's team is interested.

Doesn't biicode already fill this role? Biicode seems to work well
enough for me, anyway.

Biicode is dead.

There is a comparison with biicode here:
https://github.com/ruslo/hunter/issues/54

Having only CMake as a dependency is awesome!

I have tried once to reuse biicode's OpenSSL CMake files, I failed. So I
ended up
using perl and whatever OpenSSL needed to compile.

On the other hand hunter has only CMake as dependency, which means that its
CMake scripts are very portable.

Cheers,
Cristian.

Any thoughts of including such a project in CMake?

Hh, sorry, I should have found that myself! This definitely looks
interesting, and I agree that not requiring an external program like
Biicode is a good idea. Thanks for sharing this, I will try it out
when I have time :)
