Summary

0014691: Post build phase to delete directory fails in Xcode project

Description

If someone creates a post build phase command to delete a directory, that command will fail when executed in Xcode

Steps To Reproduce

Create a very simple Hello World code module. Create a directory that can be deleted
Use a CMakeLists.txt file like the following to create an Xcode project to build the Hello World application:

cmake_minimum_required (VERSION 2.8)

project (HelloWorld)

add_executable (HelloWorld HelloWorld.cpp)

add_custom_command (
    TARGET HelloWorld
    POST_BUILD
    COMMAND cmake -E remove_directory <Path to directory that will be deleted>
)

Create and build the Xcode project.

Expected:
The project should build without errors

Actual:
Even though the directory exists and the path to it is valid, the following error will occur in Xcode
make: cmake: No such file or directory

Additional Information

Using Xcode version 4.6.3
This problem will not happen if someone creates an UNIX makefile project instead of Xcode. Everything builds successfully

Tags

Notes
(0034921) Nils Gladitz (developer) 2014-01-09 14:32	"make: cmake: No such file or directory" looks like it can not find "cmake". Can you try ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E instead?

(0037692) tron_thomas (reporter) 2015-01-14 13:13	This is problem that Xcode cannot find the cmake executable. Xcode does not inherit a user environment, so if CMake is installed and configured to work from the command line, Xcode can still fail to find it. A possible work around is for someone to create a symbolic link to cmake in /usr/bin which is a standard path location Xcode will look for applications. It seem it would be better if the full path to cmake can be specified when using the add_custom_command. This can vary on different systems so it would be something CMake would have to do rather than a script author.
