[CMake] Out of source latex build

[Moreland, Kenneth]

Consider using the UseLATEX.cmake collection of macros.  It supports out-of-source builds (in fact, sort of enforces them) and handles copying .sty files as well as all sorts of other sticky little issues with building LaTeX files.  You can the macros and the documentation for them on this Wiki page:

Hi All,

I'm trying to add a rules to my latex build (included in a bigger
project) so that a .sty file is copied in the current_binary_dir.
I've tried several things but can't get the .sty file copied in the
build directory, latex complain about it when i try "make".
Any help would be appreciate!

Here is my CMakeLists.txt :

FIND_PACKAGE(LATEX)

set (STY "dot2texi.sty")

# should copy the .sty file to the current binary dir
ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND(
   TARGET copy_sty
    POST_BUILD
    COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E copy ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/$
{STY} ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/${STY}
    DEPENDS ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/${STY}
)

# does compile the .tex file in current binary dir
IF(LATEX_COMPILER)
   ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND(
     OUTPUT    ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/specs.dvi
     COMMAND   ${LATEX_COMPILER}
     ARGS      ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/specs.tex
     DEPENDS   ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/specs.tex
     COMMENT   "Tex2dvi"
   )
   IF(DVIPS_CONVERTER)
     ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND(
       OUTPUT    ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/specs.ps
       COMMAND   ${DVIPS_CONVERTER}
       ARGS      ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/specs.dvi
                 -o ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/specs.ps
       DEPENDS   ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/specs.dvi
       COMMENT   "dvi2ps"
    )

  IF(PS2PDF_CONVERTER)
     ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND(
       OUTPUT    ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/specs.pdf
       COMMAND   ${PS2PDF_CONVERTER}
       ARGS      ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/specs.ps
       DEPENDS   ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/specs.ps
       COMMENT   "ps2pdf"
     )
     ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET(LaTeXDocument ALL echo
       DEPENDS   ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/specs.pdf
     )
     ENDIF(PS2PDF_CONVERTER)
   ENDIF(DVIPS_CONVERTER)
ENDIF(LATEX_COMPILER)
