Description
Hi,
How you download Polyscope with its main dependencies using CMake ExternalProject command:
https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/module/ExternalProject.html
This is a command that downloads github repository. But it must be setup so that dependencies are included and built. Do you have any example using it?
I use this command to download Eigen, Boost, CGAL and would like to add Polyscope in the same workflow, but it is out of my learning knowledge since it is not a header only library. This is one example how I use this command in my CMake projects: https://github.com/petrasvestartas/CMAKE/blob/main/super_build/example_eigen/CMakeLists.txt
