New behavior of ExternalProject_Add command
This issue was created automatically from an original Mantis Issue. Further discussion may take place here.
ExternalProject_Add provides great functionality but IMO very uncomfortable. The problem is that command perform all actions on build step and clean command removes all results.
Is it possible change command behavior (or provide new one for instance add_subproject) which:
- Preforms download and configure steps along with configure step of main project
- Does not add to clean target all unziped or downloaded files, but adds additional command (for inctance make clean-all or dist-clean) which does that.
