I'd like to do something like add_custom_command
, with the output file
name as a target in the generated makefile. Is there an elegant way of
doing this?
All the examples I've seen (such as the CMake FAQ re: latex) use add_custom_command
to tell how to generate the desired output file, and then add_custom_target
to create a target. For example.:
add_executable (hello hello.c)
add_custom_command(OUTPUT hello.bin
COMMAND objcopy --output-format=binary hello hello.bin
DEPENDS hello
COMMENT "objcopying hello to hello.bin")
add_custom_target(bin ALL DEPENDS hello.bin)
However, the target name in the generated makefile is then bin
rather
than hello.bin
. Is there a way to make hello.bin
itself a target
in the generated makefile?
Some solutions I've tried that don't work:
- Changing to:
add_custom_target(hello.bin ALL DEPENDS hello.bin)
results in a circular dependency in the makefile.
