Cause CMAKE to generate an error AT BUILD TIME

I know how to generate an error at configuration time with message() command. But how to use CMake to force my build to fail?

I can think of something using add_custom_command(TARGET MyFailingTarget POST_BUILD COMMAND myFailingCommand) but that seems really hacky.

For the reference, here is what I ended up doing (so similar to what I said in my question):

add_custom_command(TARGET onlyInRelease PRE_BUILD
COMAND $<$<NOT:$<CONFIG:Release>>:TARGET_ALLOWED_FOR_RELEASE_BUILDS_ONLY>)
