[CMake] cmake and shell commands

[mark205@email.it]

Hi,

I checked the soversion command but I don't know if it is that the problem.
In another CMakeLists.txt ( 
https://github.com/OpenKinect/libfreenect/blob/master/src/CMakeLists.txt )
there is the soversion command:

add_library (freenect SHARED ${SRC})
set_target_properties ( freenect PROPERTIES
   VERSION ${PROJECT_VER}
   SOVERSION ${PROJECT_APIVER}



I will try to explain better the problem with more information:

On a system Debian/x86 the cmake, make and make install worked 
successfully generating libfreenect.so.0.0 and the symbolic link 
libfreenect.so.
On a different system cmake and make worked successfully generating 
libfreenect.so.0.0 but with make install the libfreenect.so is not 
generated and then the make install give errors.
Do you know why could happen a situation like this? I have checked every 
CMakeLists and other CMake related configuration file in order to find 
commands used to create symbolic links but I have not found them.

Thanks

Original message:

    Hi everybody,

    I'd like to know if it is possible with cmake create a Makefile with
    shell
    commands.
    I mean, I need a Makefile of this type:

    # CMAKE generated file: DO NOT EDIT!
    # Generated by "Unix Makefiles" Generator, CMake Version 2.6

    # Default target executed when no arguments are given to make.
    default_target: all

            ln -s lib/libfreenect.so.0.0 lib/libfreenect.so

    ...stuff


    I'm trying to modify the libfreenect driver CMakeLists.txt
    http://pastebin.com/YB2kDTr5   but without success.

    The inital problem is that the Makefile builds the target and at the
    end it execute this command. I need it because when I compile the
    project I have no errors but the file lib/libfreenect.so is not
    generated. When I try make install, the Makefile is generated again so
      even if I modify the Makefile or create that symbolic link manually I
    always get the error.


    Should I use: add_custom_command ?
