You could add your custom target and specify that some target depends on it.
ADD_CUSTOM_TRAGET(TargetScript COMMAND shell-script.sh)
ADD_EXECUTABLE(TargetExe ${TARGET_SRCS})
ADD_DEPENDENCIES(TargetExe TargetScript)
You could also use ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND and it's PRE_BUILD/PRE_LINK feature.
ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND(TARGET TargetExe COMMAND shell-script.sh)
Please also be aware, that shell scripts are not portable unless they are CMake
scripts.
