You should be able to use custom commands to what you need in CMake. It
really should not be that hard. You create custom targets for the
libraries of your language. You then have custom commands that produce
the outputs that make up the input to the custom targets. So, I don't
think you would need to fight CMake that much. Just take a different
approach.
