How do I run a .bat file from CMake?

Question

How do I run a .bat file from CMake in a pre-link or a post-build event?

Answer 1

The following also works. In case you read or create a file inside the bat script don't forget to specify the exact path inside the bat script.

ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET(
    myCustomTarget
    COMMAND cmd /c E:/Myfiles/mytxt.bat
)
ADD_DEPENDENCIES(myTarget myCustomTarget)

myTarget will be executed after myCustomTarget.
