Hello again,
I have some targets that are not build by default (using
EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL), these are build when a special target called

add_custom_target(complete
DEPENDS extras all
)
which gives the following error:

Hi Jens,
It's not a bug. Quoting from the docs for add_custom_target:
Dependencies listed with the DEPENDS argument may reference files and
outputs of custom commands created with ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND.
The problem is that your target 'extras' doesn't create any files. By
saying
