Feature request: set download dependency root directory

[dabraude]

Would it be possible to set the download directory instead of always being ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/*-download

to something like ${CONFU_DEPENDENCIES_SOURCE_DIR}/*-download don't mind doing it myself if you are happy with that name and CONFU_DEPENDENCIES_SOURCE_DIR defaults to CMAKE_BINARY_DIR

[Maratyszcza]

Did you try to set CONFU_DEPENDENCIES_BINARY_DIR? IIUC, the default download directory is CONFU_DEPENDENCIES_BINARY_DIR/project-name where project name is from cmake/*.cmake

[Maratyszcza]

Correction: the actual download directory is ${CONFU_DEPENDENCIES_SOURCE_DIR}/dependency-name. ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/*-download is a build directory for a CMake project that downloads the dependency.

[dabraude]

Ok is that download project directory necessary after the project has built for the first time? If not the Cmake for MXNet can delete it, otherwise I aiming to put those *-download directories under ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/3rdparty/NNPack/dep/*-download

[Maratyszcza]

It is not necessary, but I think CMake with download dependencies again if it doesn't find expected files in *-download directories

[Maratyszcza]

Would it work for you if *-download files will be in ${CONFU_DEPENDENCIES_BINARY_DIR}/*-download instead of ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/*-download?

[dabraude]

Yeah that would be perfect

[Maratyszcza]

Ok, I will move on with this change. It will take a while as I have to update all NNPACK dependencies.
