Summary:                    add_custom_command can not depend on a custom target
Description: 
>From the docs:

http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/cmake-2-8-docs.html#command:add_custom_command

 DEPENDS specifies any target (created by an ADD_* command) a target-level
dependency is created to make sure the target is built before any target using
this custom command.

project(hello)

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)
    
add_executable(hello hello.cpp)

add_custom_target(customTarget ALL COMMENT "CUSTOM TARGET")

add_custom_command(OUTPUT customCommandOutput COMMAND sleep 30 DEPENDS
customTarget COMMENT "CUSTOM COMMAND")

add_custom_target(outtarget DEPENDS customCommandOutput COMMENT "OUT")

add_dependencies(hello outtarget)
