| AUTOGEN_TARGET_DEPENDS |
| ---------------------- |
| |
| Target dependencies of the corresponding ``_autogen`` target. |
| |
| Targets which have their :prop_tgt:`AUTOMOC` or :prop_tgt:`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 :prop_tgt:`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 :manual:`cmake-qt(7)` manual for more information on using CMake |
| with Qt. |
| |
| Use cases |
| ^^^^^^^^^ |
| |
| If :prop_tgt:`AUTOMOC` or :prop_tgt:`AUTOUIC` depends on a file that is either |
| |
| - a :prop_sf:`GENERATED` non C++ file (e.g. a :prop_sf:`GENERATED` ``.json`` |
| or ``.ui`` file) or |
| - a :prop_sf:`GENERATED` C++ file that isn't recognized by :prop_tgt:`AUTOMOC` |
| and :prop_tgt:`AUTOUIC` because it's skipped by :prop_sf:`SKIP_AUTOMOC`, |
| :prop_sf:`SKIP_AUTOUIC`, :prop_sf:`SKIP_AUTOGEN` or :policy:`CMP0071` or |
| - a file that isn't in the target's sources |
| |
| it must added to :prop_tgt:`AUTOGEN_TARGET_DEPENDS`. |
