Hi Alan,
Thanks for the help and suggestions! I also added:
COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E copy
${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/plplot_pyqt.sip ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/.
Since this seemed like the right thing to do to get the "python
config.py" command to work when executed in WORKING_DIRECTORY.
One result of executing "python config.py" is that it generates its own
Makefile in WORKING_DIRECTORY. This overwrites the Makefile that was
generated by CMake. What is the best way to handle this?
