Yes, you should create a custom target with add_custom_target(). In CMake you have to distinguish between top-level and file-level targets. add_custom_command() only creates a file-level target, so you need the add_custom_target() call. Also, this will make it possible to build the targets selectively from the command line or the IDE. However, your above shown code is semantically wrong. Your add_ocaml_library() macro (you probably should make it a function instead) should contain the add_custom_target() call and give it the name passed to the add_ocaml_library function.
