[CMake] CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR expands to "$"(OutDir)

[Andrew Maclean]

I think setting LIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH instead only works on the libraries you
build. I also need to copy configuration files etc. so ... how about
something like this:

(Note the the explicit specification of "Debug and release in the WIN32
section.)

#-------------------------- Start of code ----------------------


IF ( WIN32 )
  # Only needed for windows.
  # Note: We need to copy the dlls to two places in the build tree, namely
  #      ${EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH}/${CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR}

  IF(NOT STATIC_BUILD)
    # Find the dlls we need.
    FIND_FILE(LIBPQ_DLL libpq.dll PATHS ${POSTGRESQL_LIBRARY_DIRS}
NO_DEFAULT_PATH )
    FIND_FILE(LIBPQD_DLL libpqd.dll PATHS ${POSTGRESQL_LIBRARY_DIRS}
NO_DEFAULT_PATH )
    FIND_FILE(LIBPQXX_DLL libpqxx.dll PATHS ${LIBPQXX_LIBRARY_DIRS}
NO_DEFAULT_PATH )
    FIND_FILE(LIBPQXXD_DLL libpqxxD.dll PATHS ${LIBPQXX_LIBRARY_DIRS}
NO_DEFAULT_PATH )
    SET ( ESSENTIAL_FILES ${ESSENTIAL_FILES}
   ${LIBPQ_DLL}
   ${LIBPQXX_DLL}
 )
 SET ( ESSENTIAL_FILES_DEBUG ${ESSENTIAL_FILES_DEBUG}
   ${LIBPQD_DLL}
   ${LIBPQXXD_DLL}
 )
  ENDIF(NOT STATIC_BUILD)

  # Copy these files to the build tree.
  # We cannot determine whether Release or Debug is being used.
  ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET(CopyDllCfg ALL echo "Copying dlls and essential files
...")

  FOREACH(file ${ESSENTIAL_FILES_DEBUG})
 GET_FILENAME_COMPONENT(fn ${file} NAME)
 SET(tgt ${EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH}/Debug/${fn})
 SET(src ${file})
 ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND(
   TARGET CopyDllCfg
   COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND}
   ARGS -E copy_if_different ${src} ${tgt}
   COMMENT "source copy dlls and essential files"
 )
  ENDFOREACH(file)

  FOREACH(file ${ESSENTIAL_FILES})
    GET_FILENAME_COMPONENT(fn ${file} NAME)
    SET(tgt ${EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH}/Release/${fn})
    SET(src ${file})
    ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND(
      TARGET CopyDllCfg
      COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND}
      ARGS -E copy_if_different ${src} ${tgt}
      COMMENT "source copy dlls and essential files"
    )
  ENDFOREACH(file)

ELSE ( WIN32 )

  # Copy these files to the build tree.
  ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET(CopyCfg ALL echo "Copying dlls and essential files ...")

  FOREACH(file ${ESSENTIAL_FILES})
    GET_FILENAME_COMPONENT(fn ${file} NAME)
    SET(tgt ${EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH}/${CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR}/${fn})
    SET(src ${file})
    ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND(
      TARGET CopyCfg
      COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND}
      ARGS -E copy_if_different ${src} ${tgt}
      COMMENT "source copy essential files"
    )
  ENDFOREACH(file)

ENDIF ( WIN32 )

#-------------------------- End of code -----------------------
