add_custom_command for copy header files not working

497 Views Asked by At

This is my project tree-like format :

├── cmake       
│  └── CopyHeaderFiles.cmake    
├── CMakeLists.txt   
├── common   
│   ├── CMakeLists.txt   
│   ├── Headers   
│   │   ├── CMakeLists.txt       
│   │   ├── criticalmessage.h        
│   └── Src    
│       ├── CMakeLists.txt   
│       ├── criticalmessage.cpp     
├── includes    
│   └── CMakeLists.txt    
├── main.cpp    

As you see i have a module (common) in my project, my goal is copy all headers file from PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR/common/Headers to PROJECT_BINARY_DIR/includes with add_custom_command.
this is common/CMakeLists.txt

    cmake_minimum_required (VERSION 3.0)
    set(MODULE_NAME common)
    add_subdirectory(Headers)
    add_subdirectory(Src)
    include(${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/cmake/CopyHeaderFiles.cmake) 
    set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -std=c++11 -lpthread")
    include_directories("${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/common/Headers" )
    add_library(${MODULE_NAME} STATIC ${SRC_LIST} ${INCLUDE_LIST})
    set(LIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH ${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/lib)

And content of cmake/HeaderFiles.cmake:

foreach( headerfile ${INCLUDE_LIST})

    add_custom_command(
        OUTPUT ${headerfile}
        COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E copy    
        "${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/${MODULE_NAME}/Headers/${headerfile}"        
        "${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/includes"    
         )

endforeach( headerfile )

But no files exist in include directory and always be empty after build my project.
Where am i wrong?
