| AUTOGEN_TARGET_DEPENDS |
| ---------------------- |
| |
| Additional target dependencies of the corresponding :ref:`<ORIGIN>_autogen` |
| target. |
| |
| .. note:: |
| |
| If Qt 5.15 or later is used and the generator is either :generator:`Ninja` |
| or :ref:`Makefile Generators`, additional target dependencies are added to |
| the :ref:`<ORIGIN>_autogen_timestamp_deps` target instead of the |
| :ref:`<ORIGIN>_autogen` target. |
| |
| |
| Targets which have their :prop_tgt:`AUTOMOC` or :prop_tgt:`AUTOUIC` property |
| ``ON`` have a corresponding :ref:`<ORIGIN>_autogen` target which generates |
| ``moc`` and ``uic`` files. As this :ref:`<ORIGIN>_autogen` target is created |
| at generate-time, it is not possible to define dependencies of it using e.g. |
| :command:`add_dependencies`. Instead the ``AUTOGEN_TARGET_DEPENDS`` target |
| property can be set to a :ref:`;-list <CMake Language Lists>` of additional |
| dependencies for the :ref:`<ORIGIN>_autogen` target. Dependencies can be target |
| names or file names. |
| |
| In total the dependencies of the :ref:`<ORIGIN>_autogen` target are composed |
| from |
| |
| - forwarded origin target dependencies |
| (enabled by default via :prop_tgt:`AUTOGEN_ORIGIN_DEPENDS`) |
| - additional user defined dependencies from ``AUTOGEN_TARGET_DEPENDS`` |
| |
| 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 origin target's sources |
| |
| it must be added to ``AUTOGEN_TARGET_DEPENDS``. |
