I think setting LIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH instead only works on the libraries you
build. I also need to copy configuration files etc. so ... how about
something like this:
(Note the the explicit specification of "Debug and release in the WIN32
section.)
#-- Start of code --
IF ( WIN32 )
# Only needed for windows.
# Note: We need to copy the dlls to two places in the build tree, namely
# ${EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH}/${CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR}
IF(NOT STATIC_BUILD)
# Find the dlls we need.
FIND_FILE(LIBPQ_DLL libpq.dll PATHS ${POSTGRESQL_LIBRARY_DIRS}
NO_DEFAULT_PATH )
FIND_FILE(LIBPQD_DLL libpqd.dll PATHS ${POSTGRESQL_LIBRARY_DIRS}
NO_DEFAULT_PATH )
FIND_FILE(LIBPQXX_DLL libpqxx.dll PATHS ${LIBPQXX_LIBRARY_DIRS}
NO_DEFAULT_PATH )
FIND_FILE(LIBPQXXD_DLL libpqxxD.dll PATHS ${LIBPQXX_LIBRARY_DIRS}
NO_DEFAULT_PATH )
SET ( ESSENTIAL_FILES ${ESSENTIAL_FILES}
${LIBPQ_DLL}
${LIBPQXX_DLL}
)
SET ( ESSENTIAL_FILES_DEBUG ${ESSENTIAL_FILES_DEBUG}
${LIBPQD_DLL}
${LIBPQXXD_DLL}
)
ENDIF(NOT STATIC_BUILD)
# Copy these files to the build tree.
# We cannot determine whether Release or Debug is being used.
ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET(CopyDllCfg ALL echo "Copying dlls and essential files
...")
FOREACH(file ${ESSENTIAL_FILES_DEBUG})
GET_FILENAME_COMPONENT(fn ${file} NAME)
SET(tgt ${EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH}/Debug/${fn})
SET(src ${file})
ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND(
TARGET CopyDllCfg
COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND}
ARGS -E copy_if_different ${src} ${tgt}
COMMENT "source copy dlls and essential files"
)
ENDFOREACH(file)
FOREACH(file ${ESSENTIAL_FILES})
GET_FILENAME_COMPONENT(fn ${file} NAME)
SET(tgt ${EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH}/Release/${fn})
SET(src ${file})
ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND(
TARGET CopyDllCfg
COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND}
ARGS -E copy_if_different ${src} ${tgt}
COMMENT "source copy dlls and essential files"
)
ENDFOREACH(file)
ELSE ( WIN32 )
# Copy these files to the build tree.
ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET(CopyCfg ALL echo "Copying dlls and essential files ...")
FOREACH(file ${ESSENTIAL_FILES})
GET_FILENAME_COMPONENT(fn ${file} NAME)
SET(tgt ${EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH}/${CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR}/${fn})
SET(src ${file})
ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND(
TARGET CopyCfg
COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND}
ARGS -E copy_if_different ${src} ${tgt}
COMMENT "source copy essential files"
)
ENDFOREACH(file)
ENDIF ( WIN32 )
#-- End of code ---
