could make a cmakelists that does a cmake to generate and thrn runs a
command after... then you get a solution that has all the solutions in
it....   At the end of the following macro there's 'add_custom_target'
which has two commands, one to cmake the project and the next to build
it... instead of doing a build you could work it so it does your
custom command...


macro( BuildProject PROJECT SOLUTION PROJECT_SOURCE INSTALL_RESULT )

  set( LAST_TARGET Build${PROJECT} )
  if( "$ENV{BUILD_COMMAND}" STREQUAL "" )
    set( INSTALL ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/out/${PROJECT} )
    set( BUILD ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/build/${PROJECT} )
  else()
    set( INSTALL ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/../../${CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE}_out/${PROJECT} )
    set( BUILD ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/../${PROJECT} )
  endif()
set( ${INSTALL_RESULT} ${INSTALL} )

FILE( MAKE_DIRECTORY ${BUILD} )

if( MSVC )
  if( NOT EXISTS ${BUILD}/${SOLUTION}.sln )
    FILE( WRITE ${BUILD}/${SOLUTION}.sln )
  endif()
  build_command( BUILD_COMMAND CONFIGURATION ${CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE}
PROJECT_NAME ${SOLUTION} TARGET INSTALL.vcxproj )
  SEPARATE_ARGUMENTS( BUILD_COMMAND WINDOWS_COMMAND ${BUILD_COMMAND} )
  SET( ADD_SOURCES  SOURCES ${BUILD}/${SOLUTION}.sln )
else( MSVC )
  build_command( BUILD_COMMAND CONFIGURATION ${CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE}
PROJECT_NAME ${SOLUTION} TARGET install )
  SEPARATE_ARGUMENTS( BUILD_COMMAND UNIX_COMMAND ${BUILD_COMMAND} )
endif( MSVC )

add_custom_target( Build${PROJECT} ALL
	COMMAND cmake -G "${CMAKE_GENERATOR}" ${PROJECT_SOURCE}
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=${CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE}
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=${INSTALL} ${ARGN}
        COMMAND ${BUILD_COMMAND}
	WORKING_DIRECTORY ${BUILD}
        ${ADD_SOURCES}
)
endmacro( BuildProject )

set( PROJECT core )
set( EXTRA_FLAGS -DBUILD_MONOLITHIC=${BUILD_MONOLITHIC}
${DDIRECTX_SDK} ${SACK_REQUIREMENTS} ${DFORCE_MSVCRT} ${DBUILD_TESTS}
${DBUILD_UNICODE} )
BuildProject( ${PROJECT} sack ${CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR}/..
SACK_SDK_ROOT_PATH ${EXTRA_FLAGS} )
Add_custom_command( TARGET Build${PROJECT}
	COMMAND ${SACK_SDK_ROOT_PATH}/bin/${CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE}/sack_deploy.exe -nr
	WORKING_DIRECTORY ${SACK_SDK_ROOT_PATH}
)
