This has nothing to do with copy file not working.  The copy file is not 
working because no executable was generated for some reason.  You should 
look in CMakeError.log and CMakeOutput.log.  If that fails to show 
anything, then run cmake --debug-trycompile, then go into the CMakeFiles 
directory and run the build tool by hand and figure out why it is not 
producing executable files.
