AUTOGEN_TARGET_DEPENDS¶
Additional target dependencies of the corresponding _autogen target.
Targets which have their AUTOMOC or AUTOUIC property
ON have a corresponding _autogen target which generates
moc and uic files. As this _autogen target is created at
generate-time, it is not possible to define dependencies of it using
e.g. add_dependencies(). Instead the
AUTOGEN_TARGET_DEPENDS target property can be set to a
;-list of additional dependencies for the
_autogen target. Dependencies can be target names or file names.
In total the dependencies of the _autogen target are composed from
forwarded origin target dependencies (enabled by default via
AUTOGEN_ORIGIN_DEPENDS)additional user defined dependencies from
AUTOGEN_TARGET_DEPENDS
See the cmake-qt(7) manual for more information on using CMake
with Qt.
Use cases¶
If AUTOMOC or AUTOUIC depends on a file that is either
a
GENERATEDnon C++ file (e.g. aGENERATED.jsonor.uifile) ora
GENERATEDC++ file that isn’t recognized byAUTOMOCandAUTOUICbecause it’s skipped bySKIP_AUTOMOC,SKIP_AUTOUIC,SKIP_AUTOGENorCMP0071ora file that isn’t in the origin target’s sources
it must be added to AUTOGEN_TARGET_DEPENDS.
