I'm a real cmake novice, and I find the cmake documentation hard to follow, because it assumes that you know what you're doing (and I obviously don't) and doesn't provide examples. I simply want to add to CMakeLists.txt an instruction to copy the executable created to another directory. I gather that I want to use ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND, and naively I thought this might do it:

ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND( TARGET fubar POST_BUILD COMMAND copy fubar.exe somepath/fubar.exe)

but although this doesn't trigger a cmake error, it doesn't do anything either, and doesn't even seem to change Makefile. Can someone point me in the right direction? I'm using MinGW tools on Windows.

Thanks
Gib
