[CMake] Problem in ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND

[Malhotra, Anupam]

A strange thing is happening in ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND. I am giving the
following command in CMakeLists.txt:

 

ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND(TARGET vpcl POST_BUILD MAIN_DEPENDENCY vpcl COMMAND
copy "$(TargetPath)" "${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR_UPDATED}"

 

But when the dsw and dsp is being generated the command displaying in
Post-Build step is:

copy "$"(TargetPath) "C:\NIGHTLY_BUILD_IMPROVED_TESTING\Visual Studio
6Debug"

 

Why is the value "$(TargetPath)" changing to "$"(TargetPath)?

 

Thanks and Regards

Anupam Malhotra

Try $(ConfigurationName) to reference the targeted build directory, I'm 

not sure it is available in Visual Studio 6 but is likely to exist.
