[Cmake] cmake -E

[William A. Hoffman]

What version of cmake are you using? 

I just tried the following:

ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND(TARGET generator POST_BUILD COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} ARGS -E copy_if_different generator.exe foo.exe)

and this was in the .dsp file:

PostBuild_Cmds=c:\hoffman\CMake-vc-dashboard\bin\Release\cmake.exe -E copy_if_different generator.exe foo.exe
