AUTOGEN_TARGET_DEPENDS¶
Additional target dependencies of the corresponding The <ORIGIN>_autogen target target.
Note
If Qt 5.15 or later is used and the generator is either
Ninjaor Makefile Generators, additional target dependencies are added to the The <ORIGIN>_autogen_timestamp_deps target target instead of the The <ORIGIN>_autogen target target.
Targets which have their AUTOMOC or AUTOUIC property
ON have a corresponding The <ORIGIN>_autogen target target which generates
moc and uic files. As this The <ORIGIN>_autogen target target is created
at generate-time, it is not possible to define dependencies of it using e.g.
add_dependencies(). Instead the AUTOGEN_TARGET_DEPENDS target
property can be set to a ;-list of additional
dependencies for the The <ORIGIN>_autogen target target. Dependencies can be target
names or file names.
In total the dependencies of the The <ORIGIN>_autogen target target are composed from
forwarded origin target dependencies (enabled by default via
AUTOGEN_ORIGIN_DEPENDS)additional user defined dependencies from
AUTOGEN_TARGET_DEPENDS
See the cmake-qt(7) manual for more information on using CMake
with Qt.
Use cases¶
If AUTOMOC or AUTOUIC depends on a file that is either
a
GENERATEDnon C++ file (e.g. aGENERATED.jsonor.uifile) ora
GENERATEDC++ file that isn't recognized byAUTOMOCandAUTOUICbecause it's skipped bySKIP_AUTOMOC,SKIP_AUTOUIC,SKIP_AUTOGENorCMP0071ora file that isn't in the origin target's sources
it must be added to AUTOGEN_TARGET_DEPENDS.
