CMake's BUILD_ONLY Parameter doesn't work when SDK added as ExternalProject_Add

[PauGuillamon]

What platform/OS are you using?

Ubuntu 14.04

What compiler are you using? what version?

gcc 4.8.4
cmake version 3.8.2

What's your CMake arguments?

set(cmake_args -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=${AMAZON_SDK_INSTALLATION_PATH})

include(ExternalProject)
ExternalProject_Add(amazonSdk
	GIT_REPOSITORY "https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-cpp.git"
	GIT_TAG "1.4.15"
	CMAKE_ARGS -DBUILD_ONLY=\\\"s3;email\\\" LOG_CONFIGURE 1 ${cmake_args}
	PREFIX "${AMAZON_SDK_PATH}"
)

Can you provide a TRACE level log? (sanitize any sensitive information)

make[2]: *** [src/3rdPartyDependencies/amazonSdk/src/amazonSdk-stamp/amazonSdk-configure] Error 1

Note the parameter -DBUILD_ONLY="s3;email" has been splitted into two parameters: -DBUILD_ONLY="s3 and email". This is because the script amazonSdk-configure-.cmake generated by cmake uses ; (semicolon) as character separator. It is generated as follows:

set(command "/usr/local/bin/cmake;-DBUILD_ONLY=\"email;s3\";-GUnix Makefiles;/home/pguillamon/sample-repo/build/src/3rdPartyDependencies/amazonSdk/src/amazonSdk")
execute_process(
  COMMAND ${command}

Hi due to the internal manner of ExternalProject_Add processing list, could you please update you scripts from -DBUILD_ONLY=\\\"s3;email\\\" to -DBUILD_ONLY='s3|email' or -DBUILD_ONLY=s3|email. AS WELL AS Adding LIST_SEPARATOR "|" to ExternalProject_Add

So the scripts should look as follow:

ExternalProject_Add(amazonSdk
	GIT_REPOSITORY "https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-cpp.git"
	GIT_TAG "1.4.15"
        LIST_SEPARATOR "|"
	CMAKE_ARGS -DBUILD_ONLY=s3|email LOG_CONFIGURE 1 ${cmake_args}
	PREFIX "${AMAZON_SDK_PATH}"
)

And try again?

I didn't see that parameter. It worked perfectly, thanks a lot!

ExternalProject_Add(${AMAZON_SDK}
    GIT_REPOSITORY "https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-cpp.git"
    GIT_TAG "1.4.15"
    LIST_SEPARATOR "|"
    CMAKE_ARGS -DBUILD_ONLY=s3|email ${cmake_args}
    PREFIX "${AMAZON_SDK}"
)
