Downloading remote repositories with CMake


Trying to use FetchContent(). Not sure exactly how to use the functions to download a Github repository to a specific directory to include it in to the build process.

I have never used it before so cannot offer usage advice, but a quick search for "cmake fetchcontent" turns up the documentation page as the first hit, also pointed to by the man page for cmake.

See if you can work it out from those sources.

Good luck!

That's what I'm trying but it's not working. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

What are you trying and how does it not work? We cannot see your screen from here.
