Please try to reduce this to a minimal example that reproduces the 
problem.  Are you sure data.c is used from the destination location in 
the build?  If not then CMake will not generate the rule because nothing 
depends on its output.  Perhaps you are adding the data.c source 
somewhere else that uses it from the pre-copy location.  That might also 
be able to stop the destination copy from being used.
