the list of sources. But another problem came up: Only the first single list item seems to be scanned for implicit dependencies. And I failed to come up with a list or command syntax that would allow me to have the other 99+ sources scanned as well.
I think I came up with a usable workaround for now. A semaphore file is created for every source file which IMPLICIT_DEPENDS on that source file, and my actual version.cc now depends on all the semaphore files. Basically this: foreach (srcfile ${SOURCEFILES}) string(REPLACE "/" "_" srcok ${srcfile}) set(semafile dep_${srcok}) add_custom_command( OUTPUT ${semafile} COMMAND touch ${semafile} IMPLICIT_DEPENDS CXX ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/src/${srcfile} COMMENT "" ) set(VERSION_DEPFILES ${VERSION_SEMAFILES} ${semafile}) endforeach(srcfile) add_custom_command( OUTPUT version.cc COMMAND create_version_cc.sh DEPENDS ${VERSION_SEMAFILES} ) I'm open for improvements and better ideas...
