In the meantime, while it is certainly clumsy to do the two separate
commands everywhere, you could write a CMake language
function(configure_file_generate ...) that takes the same args as
configure_file, but does the two step in its implementation.
That is a good idea that should be straightforward for me to implement
as part of the PLplot build system.
And here is that function (no guarantees except "it works for me") in
case someone who reads this thread later would like to try this
interim solution before the preferred GENERATE signature of
configure_file is implemented for CMake.
function(configure_file_generate)
# Configure files that contain both normal items
# to configure (referenced as ${VAR} or @VAR@) as well as
# generator expressions (referenced as $<...>).
# The arguments of this function have exactly the
# same syntax and meaning as configure_file.
set(intermediate_file_suffix "_cf_only")
list(GET ARGV 0 input_file)
list(GET ARGV 1 output_file)
set(intermediate_file ${output_file}${intermediate_file_suffix})
# Locally modify ARGV so that output file for configure file is
# redirected to intermediate_file.
list(REMOVE_AT ARGV 1)
list(INSERT ARGV 1 ${intermediate_file})
# Configure all but generator expressions.
configure_file(${ARGV})
# Configure generator expressions.
# N.B. these ${output_file} results will only be available
# at generate time.
file(GENERATE
OUTPUT ${output_file}
INPUT ${intermediate_file}
)
endfunction(configure_file_generate)
