[CMake] Cmake issue regarding conversion of existing Visual Studio .targets files to cmake

[Ravi Raman]

Hi David,

Thanks for the reply. Understood. 
Will use the cmake function add_custom_command() with POST_BUILD option in case of after build and PRE_BUILD option in case of before build.

Thanks & Regards

So from the example you've sent, it seems like the stuff in your 
targets file is just a bunch of custom commands that you'd need to run. 
There are plenty of examples of projects using add_custom_command and 
add_custom_target out there, and if you have specific questions about 
how those commands work, do send more emails and ask those questions.

I don't think there's anything out there that will help you automate 
this task.... but if there is, hopefully somebody who can point you to 
them will show up here.

Otherwise, it's just "roll up your sleeves" time, and do the work 
manually to convert targets files into CMakeLists that use 
add_custom_command.


Cheers,
