You should use
add_custom_command(OUTPUT <fullpath>/foo.h
... )
and then list that generated file as a source file for your target:
add_library(blub <fullpath>/foo.h foo.c bar.c ...)
This should make sure that everything is up to date.
The header-file dependency scanning does in general not work for generated
files, you need to list the generated file as source file for the targets
which need it.
