Nope in this case CMake lacks the source file itsefl "`../event_log/event_log/local/ac/event_log_msg_if.ac.cpp" > Could the .ac.cpp cause an issue? > > > Excerpt of output: > > Scanning dependencies of target event_log > [ 65%] Building CXX object > event_log/CMakeFiles/event_log.dir/local/ac/event_log_msg_if.ac.cpp.o > make[2]: *** No rule to make target > `../event_log/event_log/local/ac/event_log_msg_if.ac.cpp', needed by > `event_log/CMakeFiles/event_log.dir/event_log/local/ac/event_log_msg_if.ac.cpp.o'. > Stop. > make[1]: *** [event_log/CMakeFiles/event_log.dir/all] Error 2 The target of the offending rule is "event_log_msg_if.ac.cpp.o" The source of this target is "event_log_msg_if.ac.cpp" The source is missing and CMake can't find any rule to build it. May the file hasn't been properly generated? You said "I have a source file that is autogenerated" the question is "when" and did you specify this "autogeneration" step using a custom command to CMake? -- Erk L'élection n'est pas la démocratie -- http://www.le-message.org -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
