Is there a way I can set CMake to generate a VS2010 Project file that has Pre Build or Post Build event in them?
Thanks.
From the CMake documentation:
add_custom_command(TARGET target
PRE_BUILD | PRE_LINK | POST_BUILD`
COMMAND command1 [ARGS] [args1...]
[COMMAND command2 [ARGS] [args2...] ...]
[WORKING_DIRECTORY dir]
[COMMENT comment] [VERBATIM])
This defines a new command that will be associated with building the specified
target. When the command will happen is determined by which of the following
is specified:
PRE_BUILD - run before all other dependencies
PRE_LINK - run after other dependencies
POST_BUILD - run after the target has been built
Note that the PRE_BUILD option is only supported on Visual Studio 7 or later.
For all other generators PRE_BUILD will be treated as PRE_LINK.
For example, if your target is named MyProject
and you want to run the command SomeCommand
with argument -1 -2
after the building, add the following line after your add_executable
or add_library
call, because the target has to be defined:
add_custom_command(TARGET MyProject
POST_BUILD
COMMAND SomeCommand ARGS "-1 -2"
COMMENT "Running SomeCommand")
See https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v2.8.8/cmake.html#command:add_custom_command for more details on how to use add_custom_command()
.
