[CMake] custom build

[Guillaume Dumont]

As per CMake documentation your custom target should depend on the output
of the custom command. So it should look more like this:

add_custom_command(OUTPUT foo.sqlite
                                                MAIN_DEPENDENCY foo.sql
                                                COMMAND "cat foo.sql |
sqlite3 -batch foo.sqlite")

add_custom_target(foo_sqlite
                            DEPENDS foo.sqlite)
