------------

Deprecated. Use the :command:`execute_process` command instead.
|
|
|
|
Run an executable program during the processing of the CMakeList.txt
|
|
file.

exec_program(Executable [directory in which to run]

[ARGS <arguments to executable>]

[OUTPUT_VARIABLE <var>]
|
|
[RETURN_VALUE <var>])
|
|
|
|
The executable is run in the optionally specified directory. The
|
|
executable can include arguments if it is double quoted, but it is
|
|
better to use the optional ``ARGS`` argument to specify arguments to the
|
|
program. This is because cmake will then be able to escape spaces in
|
|
the executable path. An optional argument ``OUTPUT_VARIABLE`` specifies a
|
|
variable in which to store the output. To capture the return value of
|
|
the execution, provide a ``RETURN_VALUE``. If ``OUTPUT_VARIABLE`` is
|
|
specified, then no output will go to the stdout/stderr of the console
|
|
running cmake.
