Installation

CMakeTest can be installed via FetchContent or by manually placing the cmake_test directory on your CMAKE_MODULES_PATH.

The following CMake code allows one to install CMakeTest via FetchContent:

include_guard()

#[[[
# This function encapsulates the process of getting CMakeTest using CMake's
# FetchContent module. We have encapsulated it in a function so we can set
# the options for its configure step without affecting the options for the
# parent project's configure step (namely we do not want to build CMakeTest's
# unit tests).
#]]
macro(get_cmake_test)
    include(cmake_test/cmake_test OPTIONAL RESULT_VARIABLE cmake_test_found)
    if(NOT cmake_test_found)



        # Store whether we are building tests or not, then turn off the tests
        set(build_testing_old "${BUILD_TESTING}")
        set(BUILD_TESTING OFF CACHE BOOL "" FORCE)
        # Download CMakeTest and bring it into scope
        include(FetchContent)
        FetchContent_Declare(
             cmake_test
             GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/CMakePP/CMakeTest
       )
       FetchContent_MakeAvailable(cmake_test)

       # Restore the previous value
       set(BUILD_TESTING "${build_testing_old}" CACHE BOOL "" FORCE)
    endif()
endmacro()

# Call the function we just wrote to get CMakeTest
get_cmake_test()

# Include CMakeTest
