Thanks! I ended up with the following, in the targets CMakeList file
get_property(exe_path TARGET ${target} PROPERTY RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY)
set_property(DIRECTORY PROPERTY ADDITIONAL_MAKE_CLEAN_FILES
${exe_path}/${target}.tds)
and that seem to work fine.
Question 1: What is best practice? To do the "get_property" in a top level
CmakeList file and set_property in each targets CMakeList file. Or do I need
both lines in each target CMakeList file?
Q 2: I have
set(CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY ${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/bins)
in the top level CMakeList file. If I want a variable corresponding to the
RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY property, is there a best practice naming convention
for such? For example, is it possible to create a variable with the same name, like:
get_property(RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY TARGET ${target} PROPERTY
RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY)
?

Sorry if posting double..

Is your RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY variable set up correctly?
In the top Cmake file I have
set(EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH ${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/bins)
set(CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY ${EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH})
Not sure if that is best practice? I'm a cmake beginner
Do you
perhaps mean the target property of this name instead, and what's
the value of your "target" variable?
In the 'target' cmake file, where the target is an application or a dll, it
looks something like (for an application 'read_from_file'):
set(target read_from_file)
add_executable(${target} main.cpp)
#MTK libraries
target_link_libraries (${target} mtkCommon)
...
#VTK libraries
target_link_libraries(${target} vtkCommon)
....
ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND(
TARGET ${target} POST_BUILD
COMMAND echo ${target} and ${EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH}
COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E copy_if_different
${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/ball.mtk ${EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH}
COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E copy_if_different
${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/Alanine.mtk ${EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH}
)
set_property(DIRECTORY PROPERTY ADDITIONAL_MAKE_CLEAN_FILES
${EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH}/ball.mtk
${EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH}/Alanine.mtk
${RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY}/${target}.tds
)
#then comes installs, omitted...
install (TARGETS ${target} DESTINATION bins)
...
In the set_property command, the cleaning works for the text files, ball and
Alanine.mtk. Interestingly, if I change it to
${EXCECUTABLE_PATH}/${target}.tds
So I guess the RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY variable is not set correctly? I
thought
I read somewhere it is setup when the CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY is
setup?
Any feedback appreciated!
