[Cmake] Symbolic links

[Andy Cedilnik]

Hi Dragan,

Two options:

1. Use EXEC_PROGRAM:

IF(UNIX)
FOREACH(file ${symlinks})
  EXEC_PROGRAM(/bin/ln 
    ARGS -s "${srcpath}/${file}" "${destpath}/${file}")
ENDFOREACH(file)
ENDIF(UNIX)

2. Or using custom commands:

IF(UNIX)
SET(symfiles)
FOREACH(file ${symlinks})
  ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND(
    OUTPUT "${destpath}/${file}"
    DEPENDS "${srcpath}/${file}"
    COMMAND /bin/ln
    ARGS -s "${srcpath}/${file}" "${destpath}/${file}"
    COMMENT "Symlink")
  SET(symfiles ${symfiles} "${destpath}/${file}")
ENDFOREACH(file)
ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET(CreateSymlinks ALL DEPENDS ${symfiles})
ENDIF(UNIX)

The difference, the first one will create symlinks as a part of CMake
stage, while the second one as a part of build stage.
