I tried this out:
file(GENERATE INPUT ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/script.sh OUTPUT
${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/script.sh)
but CMake failed with this error message:
"file Incorrect arguments to GENERATE subcommand."
If I reverse the order of the options INPUT and OUTPUT it works just fine.
file(GENERATE OUTPUT ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/script.sh) INPUT
${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/script.sh)
The CMake documentation doesn't mention that the order matters:
http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.1/command/file.html#command:file
Why does the order of the options in file(GENERATE) matter?
cheers,
Erik Sjölund
