Export exe target through find_package and vcpkg

[DimitrijeDobrota]

I like to play with code generation and would like to be able to depend on exe target of the other project to build some files with add_custom_command(...).

To be as concrete as possible, taken this file , I want the COMMAND to depend on something like stamen::exe, as right now stamen executable has to be installed.

Stamen project is here, and is specific as I want to have both the library, and this exe part exported.

Some example to point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

I've figured that I can target the executable with ${stamen_DIR}/../../bin/stamen, but it's not as elegant as I would like it to be.

I've also learned that CMake doesn't detect the change in the executable, and thus doesn't trigger the recompilation. Is there a way to work around that in this setup?
