Hi all, In trying to improve our build rules, one of the problems I encountered is that I effectively have some source files that cannot be compiled unless certain targets are run.
I noticed that cmSourceFile has the AddDepend() method, which looks to do the kind of thing that I want to do. cmFlTKWrapUICommand and cmCPluginAPI are the only users of this, with there being no way of setting this from a CMakeLists.txt. The former seems to do exactly the kind of think that I need, which is to set up some code generation. It would be nice if I could add items to this list, perhaps through setting a property on the source files themselves, e.g this rather contrived short example: add_custom_command(OUTPUT bar.h COMMAND touch bar.h) add_custom_target(bar DEPENDS generate_bar bar.h) set_source_files_properties(foo.cpp PROPERTIES DEPENDS bar) Is this a bad idea? Would there be a better way? Thanks, W This transmission contains information that may be confidential and contain personal views which are not necessarily those of YouView TV Ltd.
