[SOLVED] CMake Custom Command copy multiple files

Issue

I am attempting to copy multiple files using the ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E copy <from> <to> format, but I was wondering if there was a way to provide a number of files to copy to a specific directory. It seems the cmake copy only allows for one file to be copied at a time. I really don't want to use the copy command repeatedly when I would rather provide a list of files to copy as the first argument.

I'm thinking the easiest solution is to use the platform dependent "cp" command. While this definitely is not good for portability, our system is guaranteed to be built on Linux. A simple, platform independent solution would be better.

Solution

Copying multiple files is available from CMake 3.5

cmake -E copy <file>... <destination>

"cmake -E copy" support for multiple files

Command-Line Tool Mode
