1. Create variable with list of source files
2. Iterate through it in cycle and use add_custom_command for each file, 
defining compilation rule

Note that unlike Make, CMake doesn't have any counterpart of suffix or template 
user-defined rules, so you have to use cycles.

[CMake] Using CMake to compile non-standard languages

[Jakob van Bethlehem]

Dear all,

Currently I'm trying to make a case to convert the pure makefile-based
build environment at my company into cmake. This is a rather extensive
build environment, which takes care of many things automatically through a
whole set of internally created tools. I still believe we can do better
with CMake, but I need to make a strong case.

The main problem is that we have (very old) code in an obsure languange
called 'Ratfor'. How can I tell CMake how to compile files written in that
language?

Sincerely,
Jakob van Bethlehem
