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
AUTOMOCorAUTOUICpropertyONhave a corresponding The <ORIGIN>_autogen target target which generatesmocanduicfiles. 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 theAUTOGEN_TARGET_DEPENDStarget 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_DEPENDSSee the
cmake-qt(7)manual for more information on using CMake with Qt.Use cases¶
If
AUTOMOCorAUTOUICdepends 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.
