How to execute a shell script using CMake? The command that should be run is my_script that should be executed after build. The CMakeLists.txt
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.0)
project(abc)
include_directories("/usr/lib/avr/include")
set(CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR /home/user/Desktop)
set(CMAKE_C_FLAGS "${CMAKE_C_FLAGS} -mmcu=atmega8")
set(SOURCE_FILES main.c)
add_executable(abc ${SOURCE_FILES})
#not working ----->
add_custom_command(TARGET abc
POST_BUILD
COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E my_script
)
DISCLAIMER
Yes, there are similar questions in SO here, here, here, etc; however, they don't give me a clear vision how this can be achieved.
You are invoking CMake with it's command-line tool mode which doesn't execute generic scripts or commands.
Instead do e.g.
add_custom_command(TARGET abc
POST_BUILD
COMMAND /bin/sh /path/to/my_script
)
