We have a project that builds some executables, then uses those

working well using makefiles on Windows and various unix variants. I
decided it would be nice to try doing a build using a Visual Studio
project. The various compile/link steps worked great, but any step
that needed to use one of the built executables was failing to find
the executables. An examination of the build tree revealed that
Visual Studio was placing the executables in bin\Debug rather than the
expected bin directory.
The command we're using is specified as:
add_custom_command(OUTPUT ${CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY}/rexx.img
COMMAND ./rexximage
DEPENDS rexximage rxapi rexxutil ${image_class_files}
${platform_rexx_img_depends}
WORKING_DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY})
where we're assuming the rexximage.exe file will be in the
CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY, which is specified as
${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/bin. Is there a more appropriate method we should
be doing to locate this executable that will work using both the NMake build
process and a Visual Studio project?
Try "COMMAND rexximage".
If "rexximage" is an executable target (as created by add_executable())
add_custom_command() will substitute the actual command.
