AUTOGEN_TARGET_DEPENDS
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 GENERATED non C++ file (e.g. a GENERATED
.json
or.ui
file) or - a GENERATED C++ file that isn't recognized by AUTOMOC and AUTOUIC because it's skipped by SKIP_AUTOMOC, SKIP_AUTOUIC, SKIP_AUTOGEN or CMP0071 or
- a file that isn't in the origin target's sources
it must be added to AUTOGEN_TARGET_DEPENDS.
