I will now answer my own question. The ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND way works
BUT one must be sure to get the OUTPUT, and the named file on the
ADD_LIBRARY line
exactly the same.
or, said the other way, i made a bonehead typo in my CMakeLists.txt
Sorry for the noise,
Rupert

Hi,
In my build i have a .cpp file (actually many) which is generated from
a template using a cmake configure file command.
I tried using CONFIGURE_FILE in the CMakeLists.txt, and this works,
but if the template is changed, or the .cpp file gets removed, then
the file will not be regenerated unle
