Stop. Another problem I have with COMMAND bash test.sh is that it tries executing this but test is not created at this point of time. However I have defined add_custom_command( TARGET testing PRE_BUILD COMMAND test ARGS -f ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/test.sh || ln -s ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/test.sh ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR} WORKING_DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR} ) Can you help a bit please? thanks
