DEPENDS ${in_file}
COMMAND(${MIDL_EXECUTABLE} ${in_file} <insert other args here>
WORKING_DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}
)
....
endforeach()
i'm using this to generate files from IDL files so i can neatly list them
and because there is no way to set the working directory for the midl tool
in cmake
I didn't put the rest of the file here because it's on another computer
and i had to copy this by writing it.
from what i read in the "Mastering CMake" book, the DEPENDS thing should
work.
I'v had 2 variations to the value, with absolute path and with relative,
neither work.
I checked that they were correct by writing the value out with the
'message' command and by testing the path printed out.
Did i miss something?

Then show us some code on how you defined that command.
