Or:

configure_file( path/to/old_file ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/path/to/new_file COPYONLY )

Hi there,

Is there a generic way to have CMake copy (or link to) required files
(ei: movies) into an out-of-source build directory?


If symlinks work for you, you can do:

execute_process(COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E create_symlink old new)


If what you really want to do is create a copy, you can change the
'create_symlink' option with 'copy' (for individual files) or
'copy_directory' (for entire directories). However, it looks like for your use case you can get away with symlinks, if your platform allows them, that
is.

Cheers,

Adolfo



When I build in an
out-of-source directory, I would also like to test from the same
directory without having to take any additional steps.
