[CMake] File(write and add_custom_command

[David Cole]

Yes.

Put it in a *.cmake script file, and then call:

  add_custom_command(OUTPUT ...
    COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -P ${dir}/filewrite.cmake
    DEPENDS ${dir}/filewrite.cmake ${other_files_too_maybe}
  )

You cannot call it directly from custom command, because it needs a
CMake process around it. If you want to call CMake at build time to
run a -P script, it's quite reasonable to do so.


HTH,
David
