OK, this somehow a classical "generated source" topic. Thus forget my first mails and look at what Michael and Tyler gave you. > So my main aim is to find a way to: > 1. Always check if IDL changed. > 2. Generated ouput .cpp and .h files only IDL are changed. As far as I understand the CMake compile_idl function provided by Michael does achieve that. and the link http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ#How_can_I_generate_a_source_file_during_the_build.3F provided by Tyler gives the big picture on "generated source file". -- Erk Membre de l'April - « promouvoir et défendre le logiciel libre » - http://www.april.org _______________________________________________ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
