Cross Compilation with CMake about externalmedia

[jowr]

I guess this one is obsolete soon since #6 already contains my changes that introduced CMake. However, my code was written in a hurry and I would appreciate if you had a look at it.

It is a good starting point to reach the objective by the end of the year.

For an enhancement, all commands in .bat file and .sh in ExternalMedia/Projects/ may be integrated in CMakeLists.txt. It will be easier to maintain one file for cmake than 10 specific files for specific compilation.

We can build a more robust cross compilation process integrating all those command in CMake:

• FindGit.cmake helps to find git and will replace all commands like git clone, git pull,...
• CFLAGS will replace for example C_OPTS, i.e. GCC_OPTS, variable in .bat file, .i.e .sh file
• file(COPY ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/ DESTINATION ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}) to replace copy or cp command
• ...

I guess all specific compilation option will be handle by hand or by TravisCI system.

Yes, but we still have to decide whether we want to use CoolProp as a submodule in git or as an external CMake project (ExternalProject_Add). I think we should try to avoid calling git manually :-)

@jowr, I think this is not related to CMake
So I open a specific subject #8
