Hi Brad,

this is kind of difficult under Windows, as far as I know. I have MSys installed on my machine, but the pwd "command" is not really a command (i.e. .exe) under MSys, but a shell script, which invokes the shell command "pwd". Windows sees the file with the "pwd" command in C:\MSys\bin as an ordinary file, not an executable. So I cannot call this from within ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND. As I am no Windows expert, I haven't found any other way. Can you recommend a way, how to do this?

Regards,

Martin

For VS this is the default working directory if no WORKING_DIRECTORY is
given.

This calls a perl script to generate a bunch of Fortran files as needed.
This script has to run in the output directory. I have checked the
generated .vcproj file and it doesn't contain anything related to
the working directory for this command. I modified the command to use
                  COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E chdir ${PERL_EXECUTABLE}
${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/scripts/createFortAccessors.pl
and now it works properly. But still, my impression is, that the Visual
Studio generator ignores this parameter.

Have you tried a custom command that just prints the working directory
to see where it is?
