FetchContent support #1063
Description
I saw the README said glog can be incorporated into custom projects using the CMake command add_subdirectory. I tried it like this
FetchContent_Declare(
glog
GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/google/glog.git
GIT_TAG v0.6.0
)
FetchContent_GetProperties(glog)
if(NOT glog_POPULATED)
FetchContent_Populate(glog)
add_subdirectory(${glog_SOURCE_DIR})
endif()When building as a submodule of my projects, I found those template codes in xxx.h.in files have not been replaced to generate xxx.h file. How to do things right? Thanks for your help.

I found the solutions.
And I will give a PR later.

add_subdirectorymentioned in the docs does not useFetchContent. You need to specify the build directory only for the latter explicitly.sergiud commentedon Jan 22, 2024
The issue is not actionable. You can however extend the
READMEwith a link to CMake reference documentation that explains how to useFetchContentcorrectly if you want.valaxkong commentedon Jan 22, 2024
@sergiud I opened a PR which gives an example to show the usage of FetchContent and add_subdirectory. #1067
