<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">Please find attached herewith a zip file containing the logic that we have used in cmake to perform file concatenation. It works successfully.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">The requirement is that we have to do this in the cmake function add_custom_command()<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">We have done this as follows:<o:p></o:p></p>
