Downloaded libs are deleted and dowloaded all over again when deleting "build" directory

JanWilczek / audio-plugin-template

A template repository that you can use for creating audio plugins with the JUCE C++ framework. It is based on CMake, uses CPM package manager, the JUCE C++ framework (obviously), and the GoogleTest framework. All of these are easy to change on demand. You can also base off your new repo off this template because the setup is very simple.

Downloaded libs are deleted and dowloaded all over again when deleting "build" directory #10

The way the libraries get downloaded from github seems super useful, however I do not understand why removing the build directory (the one created when compiling) appears to have cmake download the library all over again. To reproduce:

compile
remove the "build" directory: the libs/JUCE is still there
the next run of cmake will scratch the libs/JUCE and redownload it

I agree but this is a CPM issue, please, consider adding an issue there. Thanks!
