Hi Hendrik,
thank you for your reply :). I kinda overlooked that I have to admit.
I think my brain saw the '&&' as shell scripting and the question
was if that is portable, or that the generated Makefile on my system
made use of that because of the platform that I am using.
So, for clarity, I can use:
add_custom_command(
...
COMMAND ${cmd} && ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E touch ${stamp_file}
)
Where ${cmd} is the user defined command,
and that will work portably on all supported platforms?
How should I do this for GENERATOR_IS_MULTI_CONFIG?

PS I assume that '||' also works then. Namely I also need the
stamp file to be created when it doesn't exist.
So really I need in addition
COMMAND test -e ${stamp_file} || ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E touch ${stamp_file}
Is 'test -e' also portable?
