Thanks! I ended up with the following, in the targets CMakeList file
get_property(exe_path TARGET ${target} PROPERTY RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY)
set_property(DIRECTORY PROPERTY ADDITIONAL_MAKE_CLEAN_FILES
${exe_path}/${target}.tds)
and that seem to work fine.
Question 1: What is best practice? To do the get_property in a top level
CmakeList file and set_property in each targets CMakeList file. Or do I need
both lines in each target CMakeList file?
Q 2: I have
set(CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY ${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/bins)
in the top level CMakeList file. If I want a variable corresponding to the
RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY property, is there a best practice naming convention
for such? For example, is it possible to create a variable with the same name, like:
get_property(RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY TARGET ${target} PROPERTY
RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY)
?

Is your RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY variable set up correctly?
In the top Cmake file I have
set(EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH ${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/bins)
set(CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY ${EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH})
Not sure if that is best practice? I'm a cmake beginner
Do you
perhaps mean the target property of this name instead, and what's
the value of your target variable?
In the 'target' cmake file, where the target is an application or a dll, it
looks something like (for an application 'read_from_file'):
set(target read_from_file)
add_executable(${target} main.cpp)
#MTK libraries
target_link_libraries (${target} mtkCommon)
...
#VTK libraries
target_link_libraries(${target} vtkCommon)
ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND(
TARGET ${target} POST_BUILD
COMMAND echo ${target} and ${EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH}
COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E copy_if_different
${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/ball.mtk ${EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH}
COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E copy_if_different
${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/Alanine.mtk ${EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH}
)
set_property(DIRECTORY PROPERTY ADDITIONAL_MAKE_CLEAN_FILES
${EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH}/ball.mtk
${EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH}/Alanine.mtk
${RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY}/${target}.tds
)
#then comes installs, omitted...
install (TARGETS ${target} DESTINATION bins)
...
In the set_property command, the cleaning works for the text files, ball and
Alanine.mtk. Interestingly, if I change it to
${EXCECUTABLE_PATH}/${target}.tds
So I guess the RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY variable is not set correctly? I
thought
I read somewhere it is setup when the CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY is
setup?
Any feedback appreciated!

The latter, as the target must be defined before you can query its
properties; thus, the GET_PROPERTY() command should reside in the
respective CMakeLists.txt file next to the target. Moreover, the
RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY property is empty if it's neither set
explicitly nor initialized by CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY;
perhaps, you should handle this case, e.g.:
ADD_EXECUTABLE(xyz ...)
GET_PROPERTY(s TARGET xyz PROPERTY RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY SET)
IF(s)
GET_PROPERTY(... TARGET xyz PROPERTY RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY)
SET_PROPERTY(DIRECTORY APPEND PROPERTY ADDITIONAL_MAKE_CLEAN_FILES ...)
ELSE()
# Warn or bail out or do just nothing...
ENDIF()
Q 2: I have
set(CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/bins)
in the top level CMakeList file. If I want a variable corresponding to the
RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY property, is there a best practice naming convention
for such? For example, is it possible to create a variable with the same
name, like:
get_property(RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY TARGET ${target} PROPERTY
RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY)
?
Yes, because properties and variables are different types of objects
with separate namespaces, and property-related predefined variables
usually have the CMAKE_ prefix.

Don't use EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH, it's obsolete. With regard to
the RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY variable, refer to David's reply.
