Thanks. Just when your Email arrived I just found the --build-option.
It is even better than I thought it will be.

Re: [CMake] CMake generator executable variable
Hi Patrick.
If the "subproject" is also CMake-generated, as you say, the best way to
build it would be:
add_custom_target(build-app
COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} --build #... other options as appropriate
)
You might also have to set the WORKING_DIRECTORY.
This should give you a generator-agnostic command to build a
CMake-generated project.

[CMake] CMake generator executable variable
Hi list,
In my project some people use Ninja as a generator, some use GNU Make.
In a part of my projects I have a add_custom_command() which runs, for
convenience, the build of another cmake-generated project in another
dir using a different set of compilers (which is the reason for not
being a sub_directory).
add_custom_target(build-app
COMMAND make -C ${APP_BUILD_DIR})
This fails of course if the user decided to use ninja.
We can assume that the caller's build is always using the same generator
as the callee's one.
I know there is CMAKE_GENERATOR - I could do it with 'IF()', but is
there a variable carrying the generator-command which I can use to
replace the bare 'make'?
Thank you in advance.
regards,
--
