Thanks for the prompt response - now I understand.

I read that and it makes alot of sense. Unfortunately I am now 
struggling with the out-of-source build. I left my ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET 
line unchanged as

ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET(api-docs ALL doxygen api-docs.doxy DEPENDS api-docs.doxy)

and do "cmake _sourcedir_" from the build directory, where "_sourcedir_" 
is the relative path to the source directory from the build directory. 
When I do "make" it complains with a "No rule to make target 
'api-docs.doxy'" (which is the dependancy). What is the correct way of 
specifying the dependancy path so that it is independant of the build 
directory or is this impossible ?

I saw some mention of a CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR make variable in 
another post but it doesn't work either (it expands to an empty path). 
Is this a standard variable ? Where can I obtain a list of CMake make 
variables  ?

Thanks,

    Gerhard
