Nevermind, that was easy: cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.0) file(WRITE ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/dummy.cmake "string(TIMESTAMP curdate UTC) execute_process(COMMAND echo \"\${curdate}\")" ) add_custom_target( dummy ALL COMMAND cmake -P ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/dummy.cmake ) Sorry for the noise, -- Mathieu -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
