not sure if the following was sent to the newsgroup?

In the top Cmake file I have
set(EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH 	${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/bins)
set(CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY ${EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH})
Not sure if that is best practice? I'm a cmake beginner

In the 'target' cmake file, where the target is an application or a dll, it
looks something like (for an application 'read_from_file'):

set(target read_from_file)
add_executable(${target} main.cpp)

#MTK libraries
target_link_libraries (${target} mtkCommon)
...
#VTK libraries
target_link_libraries(${target} vtkCommon)
....
ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND(
TARGET ${target} POST_BUILD
COMMAND echo ${target} and ${EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH}
COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E copy_if_different
     ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/ball.mtk ${EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH}
COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E copy_if_different
     ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/Alanine.mtk ${EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH}
)

set_property(DIRECTORY PROPERTY ADDITIONAL_MAKE_CLEAN_FILES
			${EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH}/ball.mtk
			${EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH}/Alanine.mtk
			${RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY}/${target}.tds
			)

#then comes installs, omitted...
install (TARGETS ${target} 				DESTINATION bins)
...

In the set_property command, the cleaning works for the text files, ball and
Alanine.mtk. Interestingly, if I change it to
			${EXCECUTABLE_PATH}/${target}.tds

So I guess the RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY variable is not set correctly? I thought
I read somewhere it is setup when the CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY is setup?

Any feedback appreciated!
