Don't use ADD_DEPENDENCIES() to establish a dependency of a target on files; it's for target interdependencies only. Furthermore, you don't need a dependency of a custom target on your XML files unless they're generated by a custom command; custom targets are always out of date and, thus, rebuilt when they are checked. So, when (re)building, the target associated with the POT_FILE is (re)built anyway, but at the moment, it works on the files collected once at configuration time. However, you can delay the files' collection till build time: CMAKE_MINIMUM_REQUIRED(VERSION 2.8 FATAL_ERROR) PROJECT(GLOB NONE) FILE(WRITE ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/glob.cmake " FILE(GLOB_RECURSE g *.cmake) EXECUTE_PROCESS(COMMAND echo \"xgettext ...\" \${g}) ") ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET(glob ALL ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -P ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/glob.cmake ) The glob.cmake script is invoked by a custom target at build time, collects the files and executes a command on them, so there is no need to reconfigure after the set of collected files has changed. BTW, wouldn't it be more appropriate to use a custom command for the pot files' generation?

So if the set changes, neither make nor cmake know that anything is out of date... and nothing re-runs. The mod time of the file containing the list changes when the manually specified list changes.

The glob is stored in the cache - fine, there isn't a way for Cmake to automatically figure out what files it should check to see if anything has changed. Having added those files as dependencies of the target that uses the glob manually then surely it's just a list of files? Is there a fundamental difference between a list variable made from a globbed set of files and a list made from a manually specified set? > > Andreas > > -- Nickd __ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.

Don't use a glob (list the files individually) or remember to touch the cmakelists.txt file after adding new files. I don't think there's a way to have cmake re-run when calling just make within cmakelists.txt.

[CMake] add_dependency on a custom target
Dear List, I'm using a file glob to extract a list of xml files to pass to a custom target to generate a pot file with getttext, most of the heavy lifting is handled by a Macro. include(FindMsgfmt) macro (MakePot BIN_NAME CPP_SOURCES XML_SOURCES) set(CPP_SRCS ${CPP_SOURCES}) set(XML_SRCS ${XML_SOURCES}) set(POT_FILE ${BIN_NAME}.pot) if (XGETTEXT_FOUND) message(STATUS "Adding Target Potfile: ${POT_FILE}") if (XML_SRCS) add_custom_target(${POT_FILE} ALL COMMAND ${XGETTEXT_EXECUTABLE} --language=C++ --force-po -kN_ -kNN_:1,2 -o ${POT_FILE} ${CPP_SRCS} COMMAND ${XGETTEXT_EXECUTABLE} --language=Glade --force-po -j -o ${POT_FILE} ${XML_SRCS} ) else (XML_SRCS) add_custom_target(${POT_FILE} ALL COMMAND ${XGETTEXT_EXECUTABLE} --language=C++ --force-po -kN_ -kNN_:1,2 -o ${POT_FILE} ${CPP_SRCS}) endif(XML_SRCS) add_dependencies(${POT_FILE} ${XML_SOURCES} ${CPP_SRCS}) else (XGETTEXT_FOUND) message(STATUS "Cannot find xgettext") endif(XGETTEXT_FOUND) endmacro (MakePot POT_NAME) The only problem is, if the list of xml files changes (e.g. a deletion) the cmake cache doesn't get regenerated and thus the xml files are not reglobbed and so the custom command fails.
