Hi,
for a project I'm working on I need to do the following build steps:
- compile an executable from source
- run this executable to convert several files
- for each input file in source directory there will be one output file
in build directory.
I tried several variants of he following but didn't come up with a good
solution.
# create the executable
ADD_EXECUTABLE( convert convert.c )
GET_TARGET_PROPERTY(convert_EXE convert LOCATION)
SET( SOURCE_FILES
${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/file1
${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/file2
...
${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/filen )
ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET( mytarget
DEPENDS SOURCE_FILES convert
FOREACH( ${FILE} ${SOURCE_FILES})
COMMAND ${convert_EXE}
${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/$(FILE)
${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/$(FILE)
ENDFOREACH( ${FILE})
)
Whenever I try this, ccmake complains about the FOREACH line. Of course
the trivial solution
ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET( mytarget
DEPENDS SOURCE_FILES convert
COMMAND ${convert_EXE} ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/file1
${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/file1
COMMAND ${convert_EXE} ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/file2
${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/file2
...
)
works. But there must be a more flexible way. So what would you suggest?
Do I make an error somewhere?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Martin
