[SOLVED] Make a shell script a dependency

Issue

I have an ExternalProject_Add with a PATCH_COMMAND bash patch_script.sh. The problem is that cmake doesn't rebuild when patch_script.sh changes.

How can I tell CMake that when patch_script.sh changes then this project is modified?

patch_script.sh invokes patch with several patch files. It would be great if I could make the project depend on them all.

Solution

I asked this question on the CMake forum. Looks like this is not yet possible but a change is coming.
