Configuration:
-------------
+ - Added new option to build libaec and zlib inline with CMake.
+
+ Using the CMake FetchContent module, the external filters can populate
+ content at configure time via any method supported by the ExternalProject
+ module. Whereas ExternalProject_Add() downloads at build time, the
+ FetchContent module makes content available immediately, allowing the
+ configure step to use the content in commands like add_subdirectory(),
+ include() or file() operations.
+
+ The HDF options (and defaults) for using this are:
+ BUILD_SZIP_WITH_FETCHCONTENT:BOOL=OFF
+ LIBAEC_USE_LOCALCONTENT:BOOL=OFF
+ BUILD_ZLIB_WITH_FETCHCONTENT:BOOL=OFF
+ ZLIB_USE_LOCALCONTENT:BOOL=OFF
+
+ The CMake variables to control the path and file names:
+ LIBAEC_TGZ_ORIGPATH:STRING
+ LIBAEC_TGZ_ORIGNAME:STRING
+ ZLIB_TGZ_ORIGPATH:STRING
+ ZLIB_TGZ_ORIGNAME:STRING
+
+ See the CMakeFilters.cmake and config/cmake/cacheinit.cmake files for usage.
+
+ (ADB - 2023/02/21)
+
- Add new CMake configuration variable HDF5_USE_GNU_DIRS
HDF5_USE_GNU_DIRS (default OFF) selects the use of GNU Coding Standard install
