cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.8)
project(foo)

set(CPP_FILENAME "${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/foo.cpp")
file(WRITE "${CPP_FILENAME}" "int main() {}")
add_executable(foo "${CPP_FILENAME}")

set(SCRIPT_FILENAME "${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/dependencies-$<CONFIG>.cmake")
file(GENERATE OUTPUT "${SCRIPT_FILENAME}" CONTENT "
include(GetPrerequisites)

message(STATUS \"Prerequisites: \\\"\${PREREQUISITES}\\\"\")
")
add_custom_command(TARGET foo POST_BUILD COMMAND "${CMAKE_COMMAND}" -P "${SCRIPT_FILENAME}")

Output:

λ mkdir build && cd build && cmake --version && cmake .. && cmake --build . --config Release -- /v:m /nologo
