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
Ninja
or 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
orAUTOUIC
propertyON
have a corresponding The <ORIGIN>_autogen target target which generatesmoc
anduic
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 theAUTOGEN_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
orAUTOUIC
depends on a file that is either
a
GENERATED
non C++ file (e.g. aGENERATED
.json
or.ui
file) ora
GENERATED
C++ file that isn't recognized byAUTOMOC
andAUTOUIC
because it's skipped bySKIP_AUTOMOC
,SKIP_AUTOUIC
,SKIP_AUTOGEN
orCMP0071
ora file that isn't in the origin target's sources
it must be added to
AUTOGEN_TARGET_DEPENDS
.
