<font color='black' size='2' face='arial'>The <font size="2">OpenChemistry project ( https://github.com/OpenChemistry/openchemistry )</font><font color="black" face="arial" size="2"> is a very goo<font size="2">d example of a SuperBuild <font size="2">project that builds all of its external depen<font size="2">dencies <font size="2">via ExternalProject, and then all of its git submodu<font size="2">les ("internal dependencies" perhaps ?<font size="2">) also vi<font size="2">a ExternalProject.<br>
<br>
<font size="2">They use CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH both a<font size="2">s a place to install <font size="2">al<font size="2">l of the built components, and a<font size="2">s a <font size="2">place for find_package to find stuff that w<font size="2">as buil<font size="2">t by a p<font size="2">revious ExternalProject_Add call.<br>
<br>
<font size="2"><font size="2">S<font size="2">tudy</font> how they do stuff in their CMakeLists files and then get back to us<font size="2"> here with more questions.<br>
