Hi David, The documentation for add_custom_command seems to imply that it will only add a build command and not replace a build command. The way that I interpret this is that cmake will generate a vcproj that executes my custom build command (gmake) that I add using add_custom_command but will also attempt to build the project in the normal Visual Studio fashion by calling the C++ compiler (CL.exe) directly.
Am I misreading it?
