Windows Vista and newer do. On older versions create_symlink just does
nothing...

Hi,
Thank you both for you suggestions. I think I will go with
execute_process and symlinks. Since the files are movies, they are
quite
big and links are thus more efficient.
Just a quick, side, off-topic question. Does Windows support symlinks?

Or:
configure_file( path/to/old_file ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/path/to/new_file

Hi there,
Is there a generic way to have CMake copy (or link to) required
files
(ei: movies) into an out-of-source build directory?
If symlinks work for you, you can do:
execute_process(COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E create_symlink old new)
If what you really want to do is create a copy, you can change the
'create_symlink' option with 'copy' (for individual files) or
'copy_directory' (for entire directories). However, it looks like
for your
use case you can get away with symlinks, if your platform allows
them, that
is.

When I build in an
out-of-source directory, I would also like to test from the same
directory without having to take any additional steps.
