It's too late to add this feature to CMake 1.8. The install support is being re-written for the next version and will solve this problem.

For now, one can probably use ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET to add a "my_install" target that runs one's own shell-script to install the extra files.

Hello,

I've used ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET for a while and I recently bought the Mastering CMake book. In there I found something that I believed could be useful: ADD_CUSTOM_CONMAND with POST_BUILD.

I currently have:
ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET(install_html
                  ${BASH} ${cisstDoc_BINARY_DIR}/install-files.sh
                  ${cisstDocLatex_BINARY_DIR}/*.png
                {CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/share/cisst/doc/latex)

which works. Now, instead of having to type make; make install; make install_html, I am trying to do:

ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND(
  TARGET install
  POST_BUILD
  COMMAND ${BASH}
  ARGS ${cisstDoc_BINARY_DIR}/install-files.sh
        ${cisstDocLatex_BINARY_DIR}/*.png
        ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/share/cisst/doc/latex)

The idea is that the make install should trigger my custom command. Unfortunately, it doesn't add anything to the Makefile. I wonder if this is because the target "install" is not user defined. Is it possible to added tie a custom command to a non "user" defined?

This should be done with the new install framework, using PRE_INSTALL_SCRIPT and POST_INSTALL_SCRIPT target properties. Look at SimpleInstall test.
