That documentation is for the first signature of ``add_custom_command()`` (Generating Files section in the docs) which I'm not using here. I'm using the other signature (Build Events in the docs) which mentions nothing about add_custom_command(TARGET ...) working only on targets created in the same directory. CMakes behaviour could be clearer here, it should probably raise an error rather than pretending that the target doesn't exist which is clearly does. > But it's not super clear in the documentation.
