I'm trying to get get CMake to do the equivalent from this Makefile. I'm using cp in this simple example, but want to use different commands in my project.
==Makefile== srcdir=.. hij: a/efg cp a/efg hij a/efg: $(srcdir)/a/abc -mkdir a cp $(srcdir)/a/abc a/efg ========== For this I am using two CMakeLists.txt files. ==CMakeLists.txt== cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8) add_subdirectory(a) add_custom_command( OUTPUT ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/hij COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} ARGS -E copy_if_different ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/a/efg ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/hij DEPENDS ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/a/efg VERBATIM ) add_custom_target(hij_target ALL DEPENDS ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/hij) ================== ==a/CMakeLists.txt== add_custom_command( OUTPUT ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/efg COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} ARGS -E copy_if_different ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/abc ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/efg DEPENDS ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/abc VERBATIM ) ==================== This gives me the error: make[2]: *** No rule to make target `a/efg', needed by `hij'. Stop. make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/hij_target.dir/all] Error 2 make: *** [all] Error 2 How can cmake be made to understand this simple dependency?
