Updating CMake modules¶
To update CMake modules fetched from the web you need to run the update.py
script:
$ cd cmake
$ python update.py ..
The CMake modules are not fetched or updated at configure time or build time.
In other words, if you never re-run update.py
script and never modify the
CMake module files, then the CMake modules will remain forever frozen.
How to pin CMake modules to a certain version¶
Sometimes you may want to avoid using the latest version of a CMake module and
rather fetch an older version, for example with the hash abcd123
. To
achieve this, instead of:
[foo]
source: https://github.com/coderefinery/autocmake/raw/stable-0.x/modules/foo.cmake
pin the version to abcd123
(you do not need to specify the full Git hash, a unique
beginning will do):
[foo]
source: https://github.com/coderefinery/autocmake/raw/abcd123/modules/foo.cmake
