如何避免使用 CMake FetchContent 进行更新检查？

Question

所有。

我决定使用新的 cmake 宏来下载外部依赖项。我从 Catch2 库的文档中获取示例代码。

include(FetchContent)

FetchContent_Declare(
    Catch2
    GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/catchorg/Catch2.git
    GIT_TAG        v2.13.4
)
FetchContent_GetProperties(Catch2)
if(NOT Catch2_POPULATED)
    FetchContent_Populate(Catch2)
    add_subdirectory(${catch2_SOURCE_DIR} ${catch2_BINARY_DIR})
endif()

该解决方案非常有效，除了能够在我离线时重新启动 cmake（没有 wifi 和移动网络，只有我和我的笔记本电脑）。我收到以下错误：

是否可以一次下载依赖，检查修订版，而不是每次都尝试连接到远程服务器？

Answer 1

FetchContent_Populate 的 documentation 表示您可以使用 FETCHCONTENT_UPDATES_DISCONNECTED 缓存变量获得您想要的内容：

FETCHCONTENT_UPDATES_DISCONNECTED

... This ... disables the update stage. Therefore, if content has not been downloaded previously, it will still be downloaded when this option is enabled. This can speed up the configure stage... It is OFF by default.

所以将这个全局设置为 ON，或者仅对于 Catch2，将变量 FETCHCONTENT_UPDATES_DISCONNECTED_Catch2 设置为 ON。
