Basically nested project contains set(Proj_SRCS src1.cpp src2.cpp...) add_library(Proj MODULE ${Proj_SRCS})
So set() command may be moved into separate file which in turn could be included into main project. So I want to see them there to edit in IDE, but not compile. The only possibility to add files to custom target - is specify SOURCES in add_custom_target command (It's impossible to call cmTarget::AddSources from outside). However, ExternalProject_Add macro doesn't add any sources. Moreover, there is a kind of chicken-and-egg problem: all arguments are parsed and set as property on target. But you can't set property while there is no target. So as quick work-around I made private copy of ExternalProject.cmake and pass sources as directory property. So I'm asking for ideas how to properly implement this feature: modify somehow parameters parsing in ExternalProject, or may be introduce command which allows adding new sources to existing targets (I'm not sure if this will work, but for me it sounds like target_link_libraries command). ====================================================================== Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 2011-07-08 05:27 Yuri New Issue ====================================================================== _______________________________________________ cmake-developers mailing list [email protected] http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cmake-developers
