Unfortunately, the parent directory doesn't see that I made a rule
(add_custom_command) for the file in the subdirectory.


top level CMakeLists.txt:
...
add_subdirectory(sub1)

add_custom_target(generate ALL
 DEPENDS ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/myfile.txt
 )

sub1/CMakeLists.txt:
add_custom_command(OUTPUT ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/myfile.txt
COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -P ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/ genmyfile.cmake
 WORKING_DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}
 )

I would just do the add_custom_target in the same CMakeLists where you
do the add_custom_command. That target will still be available from your
top-level CMakeLists. I use this approach all over the place.

Unfortunately, I have several directories that all pool their files into the same target. I don't want to have a single target per file as this would clutter up Visial Studio projects quite quickly.

Unless there's a different way to make the add_custom_command behave globally I'll have to somehow call this function only from the directory I call add_custom_target from. :(

Thanks,
James
