Hi Andy,
it seems I don't understand the direction you are pointing me to. I
used add_custom_command in some occasions. So now I tried:
FOREACH( FILE ${SOURCEFILES})
ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND ${FILE}.out
COMMAND ${tool_EXE} ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/${FILE}.in
${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/${FILE}.out
DEPEND tool ${FILE}.in
)
ENDFOREACH( FILE )
CMake outputs: "Wrong syntax. Unknown type of argument"
It looks like I'll go the less flexible way to code a list of commands
to execute.
Frustrated

Hi Martin,
When you add things to the custom target they will be executed in one
step. What you want are custom commands. Look at the manual for
add_custom_command.

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?
