Use FetchContent_MakeAvailable instead of FetchContent_Populate?
Motivation / Current Behaviour
Currently we use the structure
FetchContent_GetProperties(eigen)
if(NOT eigen_POPULATED)
FetchContent_Populate(eigen)
endif()
for most dependencies. In some cases, it might be possible to use FetchContent_MakeAvailable()
which is recommended (see also
https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/module/FetchContent.html) instead of using FetchContent_GetProperties()
and FetchContent_Populate()
directly.
Enhancement description
Use FetchContent_MakeAvailable()
instead of FetchContent_GetProperties()
and FetchContent_Populate()
. We may need to set the option OVERRIDE_FIND_PACKAGE or similar to prevent the search for local versions.
We could also discuss whether we want to allow searching for local versions and only downloading otherwise (and not controlling this via the MEMILIO_USE_BUNDLED_ options). This could speed up the build especially because of downloading boost.
