I need to create file "file.txt" and install it. But installation doesn't
affect dependency, so file.txt will never be created. That file isn't c code,
so it can't be included to any executable or library to create dependency.
What is the right syntax to create and install that file, please?
You were pretty close. You only really missed 2 things:
1. The `ALL' option in ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET. In the CMake docs for
ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET:
> If the ALL option is specified it indicates that this
> target should be added to the default build target so that it
> will be run every time (the command cannot be called ALL).
2. INSTALL should probably have a specific path to your generated file.
CMake didn't pick up on it unless I gave a more specific path.
3. ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET can contain embedded commands.
Here's a CMakeLists.txt that I used:
PROJECT(test NONE)
ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET(
"file.txt" ALL
COMMAND "touch" ARGS "file.txt"
VERBATIM
)
INSTALL(
FILES "${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/file.txt"
DESTINATION "/tmp"
)
