These are not placed in your normal build tree when doing an out of source build so that they do not need to be re-downloaded and re-compiled every time the CMake build folder is cleared. Should you want to force a re-download and re-compile of a specific external, you can simply remove that directory from the appropriate subfolder in `build/ext`. Should you want to force a re-download and re-compile of all externals, just remove the `build/ext` folder.
If you would like to use a specific install of a dependency instead of the version that would be grabbed as a CMake ExternalProject, you can pass -DUSE\_LOCAL\_$NAME=0 (where $NAME is the name of the subfolder in [cmake/externals](cmake/externals)) when you run CMake to tell it not to get that dependency as an external project.
