AUTOGEN_ORIGIN_DEPENDSΒΆ
New in version 3.14.
Switch for forwarding origin target dependencies to the corresponding The <ORIGIN>_autogen target target.
Note
If Qt 5.15 or later is used and the generator is either
Ninjaor Makefile Generators, origin target dependencies are forwarded to the The <ORIGIN>_autogen_timestamp_deps target target instead of The <ORIGIN>_autogen targetTargets 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_ORIGIN_DEPENDStarget property decides whether the origin target dependencies should be forwarded to the The <ORIGIN>_autogen target target or not.By default
AUTOGEN_ORIGIN_DEPENDSis initialized fromCMAKE_AUTOGEN_ORIGIN_DEPENDSwhich isONby default.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.Note
Disabling
AUTOGEN_ORIGIN_DEPENDSis useful to avoid building of origin target dependencies when building the The <ORIGIN>_autogen target target only. This is especially interesting when aglobal autogen targetis enabled.When the The <ORIGIN>_autogen target target doesn't require all the origin target's dependencies, and
AUTOGEN_ORIGIN_DEPENDSis disabled, it might be necessary to extendAUTOGEN_TARGET_DEPENDSto add missing dependencies.
