Summary0005203: a custom COMMAND cannot be a CMake scripting command
DescriptionBoth ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND and ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET do not define what kind of COMMAND can be used. Users often think they can use a CMake scripting command, but this is incorrect. COMMAND in this context is something that can be executed on a command line. Documenting this would help newbies with their learning curve.

The duplicate is still open, no need to have it twice.

Documenting current behavior is not the same issue as implementing new behavior. If 0003604 were implemented, then this content bug would be obsolete. But 0003604 has not been implemented. It would be quite a bit less effort to simply document what the current behavior actually is.

Related to 3604.

From the v3.2 manual: "Specify the command-line(s) to execute at build time."

"command-line" seems clear enough to me with no confusion with cmake expressions. Can this "bug" be closed then?
