I'm trying to come up with a way to have a custom target defined in the top-level directory execute a collection of custom commands previously defined in subdirectories throughout the code (to untar many tarballs). Unfortunately, the approach I'm trying isn't working.
When I invoke add_custom_target() immediately after add_custom_command() in the same directory, it works fine. When I invoke add_custom_target() in the parent directory it causes an error in the makefiles. I've attached a small example of the problem I'm having. Not sure if this is a bug or just user error. low...@locke:~/tmp/cmake_tests/CustomCommandProb/build$ make untar Scanning dependencies of target untar make[3]: *** No rule to make target `../foo-1.2.3', needed by `CMakeFiles/untar'.
