Hi David,

Executing the batch file from cmake function add_custom_command() in the 
COMMAND option is successful.
But is there any mechanism in cmake in which we can specify the user-built 
executables OR project-specific executables directly from cmake function 
add_custom_command() in the COMMAND option ?

Like, for example, if we want to execute something like this in cmake:

add_custom_command(
        TARGET ${TARGETNAME}
        POST_BUILD
        COMMAND ${VERBIN}/TestVersion.exe \"$(VersionPath)\"
        COMMENT "Check if $(VersionPath) has version information...")

Note that here ${VERBIN}/TestVersion.exe is a project specific executable.

When we execute this in cmake, we get the following error:

      'TestVer\TestVersion.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external 
command,operable program or batch file.

So, please let us know if there is any way other than batch file for this ?

Thanks & Regards

Hi David,

Thanks. The 2nd approach of using batch file worked successfully.

Thanks & Regards

Sorry about the premature "send" on that last email...

First try this:

add_custom_command(
        TARGET ${TARGETNAME}
        POST_BUILD
          COMMAND ${TBIN}/VerCheck.exe \"$(TargetPath)\"
           COMMAND copy \"$(TargetPath)\"
\"$(TargetPath).vercheck_dummy_target\"
        COMMENT "Checking if $(TargetPath) has version info...")

i.e. -- just say "POST_BUILD" once, then a sequence of COMMAND lines.
(I think it's passing your second POST_BUILD as an argument to
VerCheck...)


If that still doesn't work, try:

add_custom_command(
        TARGET ${TARGETNAME}
        POST_BUILD
          COMMAND VerCheckAndCopy.bat "${TBIN}" "$(TargetPath)"
        COMMENT "Checking if $(TargetPath) has version info...")

and delegate it to a batch script that takes arguments which internally
does the sequence of commands you want. If you go this route, you may
still need nested quotes around "$(TargetPath)" -- CMake doesn't know
about expanding those VS values, and whether or not they'll need quotes
around them.

HTH,
David C.
