Summary0011274: add_custom_command does not work with VS2010 generator
Descriptionwhen output of the add_custom_command is PROJECT_BINARY_DIR/Some_Subdir it does not work as it should i.e the command is always run. Example :

ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND(
 OUTPUT "${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/$(ConfigurationName)/generated.txt"
 COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E copy
  "${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/myfile.txt"
  "${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/$(ConfigurationName)/generated.txt"
 DEPENDS "${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/myfile.txt"
 )

If I specify for
OUTPUT "${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/generated.txt"
instead of
OUTPUT "${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/$(ConfigurationName)/generated.txt" it works.
Steps To Reproduce
Additional InformationI tested with cmake 2.8.2 . I used out of source build.
TagsNo tags attached.

Can you use zip or tar? I don't have a rar reader. Also, not sure why the file is SO big. Should only be a CMakeLists.txt file with a minimal example. No object code please.

I added Test2.zip with the cmakelists.txt file and vs2010 generated project file.

OK, I reproduced it and have a fix that is in CMake next. As a work around for this issue if you use the MAIN_DEPENDENCY option like this:

 MAIN_DEPENDENCY "${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/myfile.txt"

It will get around the problem.
