Wrap the command in a CMake-script. Something like this:
foo_wrapper.cmake.in:
---------------------
set(ENV{PATH} "@PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR@/ext_bin/DFC:$ENV{PATH}")
execute_process(COMMAND foo)
And then configure and run it like this:
CMakeLists.txt:
---------------
# ...
configure_file(foo_wrapper.cmake.in
"${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/foo_wrapper.cmake" @ONLY)
add_custom_command(OUTPUT bar
COMMAND "${CMAKE_COMMAND}" -P
"${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/foo_wrapper.cmake"
COMMENT "Creating bar")
If you need to pass the script variables using the -D flags, make sure
to pass them before the -P flag, otherwise they are silently ignored.
I hope you get the idea.
