Hello all, recently I have encountered a unexpected behaviour of ADD_DEPENDENCIES. My goal is to have a set of targets that are not built with the ALL-target. They should be built using an empty "helper-target". The helper-target is an empty custom target in a CMakeLists.txt in some root-directory:
ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET(HELPER_TARGET) ADD_SUBDIRECTORY(subdir) Now I want to use ADD_DEPENDENCIES on a target located in a subdir: ADD_LIBRARY(someLib EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL someCode.cpp) ADD_DEPENDENCIES(HELPER_TARGET someLib) Should it work this way? Anyway, cmake is reporting an error: ADD_DEPENDENCIES Adding dependency to non-existent target: HELPER_TARGET Did I do something wrong in the CMakeLists.txt-files above? How can it be made working?
