| AUTOGEN_TARGET_DEPENDS |
| ---------------------- |
| |
| Additional 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 generates |
| ``moc`` and ``uic`` files. As this ``_autogen`` target is created at |
| generate-time, it is not possible to define dependencies of it using |
| e.g. :command:`add_dependencies`. Instead the |
| :prop_tgt:`AUTOGEN_TARGET_DEPENDS` target property can be set to a |
| :ref:`;-list <CMake Language Lists>` of additional dependencies for the |
| ``_autogen`` target. Dependencies can be target names or file names. |
| |
| In total the dependencies of the ``_autogen`` target are composed from |
| |
| - forwarded origin target dependencies |
| (enabled by default via :prop_tgt:`AUTOGEN_ORIGIN_DEPENDS`) |
| - additional user defined dependencies from :prop_tgt:`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 :prop_tgt:`AUTOGEN_TARGET_DEPENDS`. |
