Description

From the docs:

http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/cmake-2-8-docs.html#command:add_custom_command [^]

DEPENDS specifies any target (created by an ADD_* command) a target-level dependency is created to make sure the target is built before any target using this custom command.

Steps To Reproduce

project(hello)

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)

add_executable(hello hello.cpp)

add_custom_target(customTarget ALL COMMENT "CUSTOM TARGET")

add_custom_command(OUTPUT customCommandOutput COMMAND sleep 30 DEPENDS customTarget COMMENT "CUSTOM COMMAND")

add_custom_target(outtarget DEPENDS customCommandOutput COMMENT "OUT")

add_dependencies(hello outtarget)
