Oh ok, I see how it works, it makes sense, but I'm somehow disappointed : in
order to use it, I'm going to have to change my own project while I originally
thought it was going to be a kind of FindXXX on steroid...
I'll give it a try though, tx for pointing it out.

Hello,
Yes, main reason is I had to hack FindProtobuf.cmake to make our existing
project compile.
Also since I need to make it "installable", I had to add some stuff to have the
binaries and header installed automatically when referenced.
The latter reason led me to experiment with ExternalProje

You'll also want to build your own project with ExternalProject, and use
the DEPENDS option to control build order. This ensures that all
dependencies are fully installed before your own project is even
configured. The project with all the ExternalProject calls is typically
called a superbuild, and
Hello,
suppose I want to use protobuf and integrate it in my project with
externalproject_add. (actually, I just have precompiled binaries and libs +
header files, I don't have the full sources)
Once the project has been 'built' (actually, installed by a custom rpm-like
tool to a shared path),
