Hi Andy,

so I tried the following

SET( SOURCEFILES
     file1
     file2
     file3 )
        

FOREACH( FILE ${SOURCEFILES})
        SET( EXECUTE
             ${EXECUTE}
${tool_EXE} ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/${FILE}.in ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/${FILE}.out )
ENDFOREACH( FILE )


ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET( carfiles
                   DEPENDS SOURCEFILES tool
                   COMMAND ${EXECUTE}   
                  )
                
It looks like the variable EXCUTE is initialized as expected but is considered as one command and not a sequence. Where am I going wrong?

Regards
Martin

Hello Martin,

You cannot nest commands and constructs. Move the FOREACH before the
custom target and set a variable in it. Then use the result in the
custom target.
