As outlined in the README, there is more than one way to include CPM.cmake in your project. In addition to using the command line, you can use CMake to download a specific release of CPM.cmake to your project and include it automatically.
set(CPM_DOWNLOAD_LOCATION "${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/cmake/CPM.cmake")
set(CPM_VERSION 0.25)
if(NOT EXISTS ${CPM_DOWNLOAD_LOCATION})
message(STATUS "Downloading CPM.cmake")
file(DOWNLOAD https://github.com/TheLartians/CPM.cmake/releases/download/v${CPM_VERSION}/CPM.cmake ${CPM_DOWNLOAD_LOCATION})
endif(NOT EXISTS ${CPM_DOWNLOAD_LOCATION})
include(${CPM_DOWNLOAD_LOCATION})
To update the version of CPM.cmake that is included, just update the CPM_VERSION
variable with the correct version number, omitting the v
prefix. Note that the CPM.cmake file at ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/cmake/CPM.cmake
must be deleted after updating, otherwise the file will not be re-downloaded.
