I thought configure_file would only copy the file if it has changed

not that you should use COPYONLY
configure_file(InputFile OutputFile COPYONLY)
]
however if it is not the case you may replace your configure_file with

EXECUTE_PROCESS(${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E copy_if_different InputFile OutputFile)

don't really know how to do that
