[CMake] Adding "*.obj" geometry files...

Sorry to keep bothering you guys...

Our problem now is that resource files could have the same names in
different folders.
The ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND seems to create a rule "identifier" based on the name
of the resource file relative to the CMakeFiles directory.
But we have a "saveloadicon.png" in /images and a "saveloadicon.png" in
/textures, both trying to add a rule resulting in a conflict:

CMake Error: Attempt to add a custom rule to output
"C:/development/build/DEBUGBULLET/StyleClash//CMakeFiles/saveloadicon.png.ru
le" which already has a custom rule.

Is there a way to influence this rule identifier?

This is the ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND we're using:

ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND(OUTPUT
"${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/${CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR}/${RSRC_FILE_NO_PATH}"
			 COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E copy_if_different
${RSRC_FILE} ${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/${CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR}/${RSRC_FILE_NO_PATH}
			 DEPENDS "${RSRC_FILE}"
		      )

Thanks,
Daniel

You could use solution filters to put all the copy targets into one folder:

set_property(GLOBAL PROPERTY USE_FOLDERS TRUE) set_property(TARGET
${RESOURCESCOPYTARGET} PROPERTY FOLDER "Copy
Projects") #for each resource copy target
