>From documentation to CMake 2.6.x:
"Note that the PRE_BUILD option is only supported on Visual Studio 7 or
later. For all other generators PRE_BUILD will be treated as PRE_LINK."
What are you actually trying to do?
If you want to perform some actions before actually build the target, use of
add_custom_target() may be better idea. Something like this:
add_custom_target (thetarget
COMMAND touch
${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/helloworld
WORKING_DIRECTORY
${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}
COMMENT "Prebuild action before build
MainTarget"
)
add_executable (MainTarget
${SOURCES}
)
add_dependecies (MainTarget thetarget)
