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

You could use add_custom_command, e.g.

if(WIN32)
  add_custom_command(TARGET 
                       POST_BUILD
                       COMMAND cmd //C   )

endif()

For full details about add_custom_command run

cmake --help-command add_custom_command
