So I need to copy the output *.so from a target to an arbitrary directory outside the CMAKE_BINARY_DIR. I tried doing this as a post build event using generator expressions:
add_custom_command( TARGET ${target} POST_BUILD VERBATIM COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E copy "$<TARGET_FILE:${target}>" ${dir} ) This fails because I'm running it outside of the directory where ${target} is defined: CMake Error at Core/CMake/third-party.cmake:86 (add_custom_command): TARGET 'MagickCore' was not created in this directory. How can I do this without moving my add_custom_command() to the same directory that created the target? I need to add all the custom commands at the end of generation because it depends on certain global properties which are not completely done being set until the very end. -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
