AUTOGEN_TARGET_DEPENDS¶
Target dependencies of the corresponding _autogen target.
Targets which have their AUTOMOC or AUTOUIC property
ON have a corresponding _autogen target which is used to auto generate
moc and uic files. As this _autogen target is created at
generate-time, it is not possible to define dependencies of it,
such as to create inputs for the moc or uic executable.
The AUTOGEN_TARGET_DEPENDS target property can be set instead to a
list of dependencies of the _autogen target. Dependencies can be target
names or file names.
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) or - a
GENERATEDC++ file that isn’t recognized byAUTOMOCandAUTOUICbecause it’s skipped bySKIP_AUTOMOC,SKIP_AUTOUIC,SKIP_AUTOGENorCMP0071or - a file that isn’t in the target’s sources
it must added to AUTOGEN_TARGET_DEPENDS.
