Hi,
Couple of things. The CONFIGURE_FILE approach is more correct because:
1. It does copy_if_different already
2. It does dependency checking
So, the real code should just say:
FILE(MAKE_DIRECTORY ${EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH}/resources )
FOREACH(file ${FILES_TO_BE_COPIED} )
GET_FILENAME_COMPONENT(name ${file} NAME)
CONFIGURE_FILE( ${file} ${EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH}/resources COPYONLY)
ENDFOREACH(file)

Hello all,
I have a directory with some text files in that I need to copy to my
build tree, currently I copy them like this
FILE(MAKE_DIRECTORY ${EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH}/resources )
FOREACH(file ${FILES_TO_BE_COPIED} )
GET_FILENAME_COMPONENT(name ${file} NAME)
IF (NOT EXISTS ${EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH}/resources/${name} )
CONFIGURE_FILE( ${file} ${EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH}/resources COPYONLY)
ENDIF (NOT EXISTS ${EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH}/resources/${name} )
ENDFOREACH(file)
which copies them only if they are not already there. I'm making a lot
of tweaks to them at the moment and I'd like to copy them if they're not
there or if the time in the source tree is is newer than the previously
copied version.
I suggest using cmake -E copy_if_different to copy the file if they are
different
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ cmake -E
CMake Error: cmake version 2.3-20060113
Usage: cmake -E [command] [arguments ...]
Available commands:
chdir dir cmd [args]... - run command in a given directory
copy file destination - copy file to destination (either file or
directory)
copy_if_different in-file out-file - copy file if input has changed
copy_directory source destination - copy directory 'source' content
to directory 'destination'
compare_files file1 file2 - check if file1 is same as file2
echo [string]... - displays arguments as text
remove file1 file2 ... - remove the file(s)
tar [cxt][vfz] file.tar file/dir1 file/dir2 ... - create a tar.
time command [args] ... - run command and return elapsed time
create_symlink old new - create a symbolic link new -> old
Before I start writing a new macro, if anyone has already got a snippet
which does this, I'd love to use it. I'm guessing I'd need to set up a
custom rule, add dependencies etc, I'm sure there must be examples out
there.
thanks
