That's a good point. I'm thinking about writing a test that creates a file or directory and then have the test assert that the file or directory has been created.

It may be able to compile a dummy a file just to run a post build command. I'm going to research the documentation and try some things.

I'm not sure. I haven't built a project with these yet. I'll look into it.

I noticed that libraries are probably not set up properly for this generator. It is creating a program project file and passing in the --relobj flag, which compiles and links fine. The seemingly better solution is to create a library project file. Then, the IDE will implicitly pass the --archive flag to the compiler. I haven't determined the difference between these two configurations yet.

Thanks, but something needs to verify that these actually get executed.  They could do other operations like use "${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E copy" to put files somewhere that can be checked.

Does the IDE support any way to run custom commands?
They are a major part of CMake's feature set.  How would one using the IDE directly ever have generated sources?
