In the F&Q Setction there is a excellent example how to handle generated files in a subdirectory.
The structure is: mainDirectory (CMakeLists.txt) +---- ADD_SUBDIRECTORY(src1) (generates the file) | +---- Process the file This works also for this structure mainDirectory (CMakeLists.txt) +---- generate the file | +---- ADD_SUBDIRECTORY(src1) process the file >From this I concluded the following structure should be possible mainDirectory(CMakeLists.txt) +---- ADD_SUBDIRETCORY(src2) generate the file | +---- ADD_SUBDIRECTORY(src1) process the file Unfortunatelly this generates the make error message: "There is no rule to generate the target: Name of the generated file" (Here tm18.c see below) So really logical is this not. Greetings Micha ------------------------------------------ The CMakeLists.txt files In mainDirectory I have the following CMakeLists.txt file PROJECT(MainProj) ADD_SUBDIRECTORY(src2) ADD_SUBDIRECTORY(src) In src2 the CMakeLists.txt file looks like this: PROJECT(T) CMAKE_MINIMUM_REQUIRED(VERSION 2.4) CMAKE_POLICY(VERSION 2.6) ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND(OUTPUT ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/tm18.c COMMAND ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/generator tm18 DEPENDS ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/src/tm COMMENT "...run") ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET(targetAdd ALL DEPENDS ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/tm18.c) and in src2 I have the following CMakeLists.txt file PROJECT(Tm2) SET(_targetname ULS) SET(_src CTest.c ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/tm18.c) ADD_EXECUTABLE(${_targetname} ${_src}) SET_SOURCE_FILES_PROPERTIES(${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/tm18.c PROPERTIES GENERATED 1) TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(${_targetname} ${GLIB_LIBRARY}) ADD_DEPENDENCIES(${_targetname} targetAdd) _______________________________________________ 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
