Before I saw the posts, I had actually 'blind-man-fumbled' into something that looks like this:- --------------------- set(sip_generator ../wherever/FileA.sip ) set(generatorCMD "sip -C . ../wherever/FileA.sip" ) set(sipED-SRS ../path/to/fileC.cpp ../path/to/FileD.cpp ) ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND( OUTPUT ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/${sipED-SRS} COMMAND ${generatorCMD} DEPENDS ${sip_generator} ) ---------------------- (beforehand I would have to actually designate some directory in the source-tree equivalent to '/path/to/'. (And this I am unsure of.) I have posted it only because I want to know if I can group the generated source files as ${sipED_SRS} AND if so how the line with OUTPUT is set to find them. thanks again _______________________________________________ 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
