It was simply never implemented. We almost never use try_run in practice anymore because it does not work for cross-compiling.

Besides, the whole-project signature of try_compile leaves the build tree around instead of using a temporary directory and then deleting it. That means the binary will be available to try running with execute_process.

Ok. This works good

  cmake_minimum_required (VERSION "2.8")
  project ("check" "C")
  
  set (CMAKE_TRY_RUN false CACHE BOOL "try run targets after build")
  
  add_executable (
    "main"
    "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/main.c"
  )
  
  if (${CMAKE_TRY_RUN})
    add_custom_command(
      TARGET "main"
      POST_BUILD
      COMMAND "./main"
      WORKING_DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}
      COMMENT "Running main"
    )
  endif ()
