I've just setup a SuperBuild using ExternalProject, and am pleasantly<br>
surprised how well it works so far.<br>
<br>
I've encountered one issue, which is awkward - I'm basically using<br>
the SuperBuild to automate assembling / updating dependencies for the<br>
final sub-project, which is the real project I normally work on. I<br>
typically work on that project using Xcode and the Xcode generator.<br>
The problem is, if I use -G Xcode for the super build, some parts<br>
fail (and to be honest this is no surprise - amongst the dependencies<br>
is Boost, for example).<br>
<br>
So the question, can I safely set things to use a different generator<br>
for a CMake-based ExternalProject, and still have a top-level build<br>
of everything? The documentation for how the generator flag is<br>
handled by ExternalProject_Add, makes me think there might be<br>
something 'magic' happening. (This would mean, for example, the<br>
top-level Makefile called xcodebuild to build the xcodeprojs I<br>
guess)<br>
<br>
I didn't yet try this on MSVC, I'm curious what the situation will be<br>
there with the same setup. Is a top-level NMake build with msbuild of<br>
VisualStudio child projects possible?<br>

It should work. I do VS project builds with VS all the time. The Xcode generator should work as well. It passes the tests for external project. So, that should be something that should be fixed.<br>
