Sounds like you have ended up at the same solution I did. I had trouble getting the automated qt generation working, and in the end I made it explicitif(ARG_MOC) qt5_wrap_cpp(MOC_OUT ${ARG_MOC}) endif() if(ARG_RES) qt5_add_resources(RES_OUT ${ARG_RES}) endif() if(ARG_UI) qt5_wrap_ui(UI_OUT ${ARG_UI}) endif() add_library( ${ARG_NAME} ${LINK} ${ARG_SRCS} ${MOC_OUT} ${RES_OUT} ${UI_OUT} )
Hi Steve: Thanks for your additional comment. Yes, I agree explicit is always a good fallback when automatic doesn't work, but I am hoping the indirect result of this discussion is the CMake developers will remove the limitations and deficiencies of the automatic methods supporting Qt5 so they are a lot more useful for complex real-world software projects. One especially useful thing I realized from your post is my current use of a custom_target that depends on MOC_OUT (in your above nomenclature) is essentially a no-op since MOC_OUT is generated at CMake time rather then set up as a custom command to be run at build time. So there is more cleanup I need to do of my explicit method. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
