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
Ninja
or 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
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_ORIGIN_DEPENDS
target property decides whether the origin target dependencies should be forwarded to the The <ORIGIN>_autogen target target or not.By default
AUTOGEN_ORIGIN_DEPENDS
is initialized fromCMAKE_AUTOGEN_ORIGIN_DEPENDS
which isON
by 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_DEPENDS
See the
cmake-qt(7)
manual for more information on using CMake with Qt.Note
Disabling
AUTOGEN_ORIGIN_DEPENDS
is useful to avoid building of origin target dependencies when building the The <ORIGIN>_autogen target target only. This is especially interesting when aglobal autogen target
is enabled.When the The <ORIGIN>_autogen target target doesn't require all the origin target's dependencies, and
AUTOGEN_ORIGIN_DEPENDS
is disabled, it might be necessary to extendAUTOGEN_TARGET_DEPENDS
to add missing dependencies.
