Hi Matthew, That is an issue I raised before here about a join-genex: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.programming.tools.cmake.devel/5835/focus=5841 https://gitorious.org/~steveire/cmake/steveires- cmake/commit/449fe543680eed9f82042ef475c240cba9590a55 So, it's something for the future. The CMAKE_AUTOMOC feature already evaluates the generator expressions from the targets. > > At some point, I think it is going to need to be possible to pass > include directives from a target to a custom command (which generates > source files used /by the same target/), ideally with the ability to > specify how to pass each include directive (e.g. '<dir>', '-I <dir>', > '--include=<dir>', etc.). > > Is this going to be possible with the new system?

The macros read the INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES directory property, not the target properties. So, to keep using the macros, keep using the include_directories() command and don't put generator expressions in it until you migrate to CMAKE_AUTOMOC, or until the join-genex exists and the macro is ported to use it (I don't know if that macro will be ported to use it).
