AUTOGEN_TARGET_DEPENDS¶
Additional target dependencies of the corresponding _autogen target.
Targets which have their AUTOMOC or 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.  add_dependencies().  Instead the
AUTOGEN_TARGET_DEPENDS target property can be set to a
;-list 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 - 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.
Use cases¶
If AUTOMOC or AUTOUIC depends on a file that is either
- a - GENERATEDnon C++ file (e.g. a- GENERATED- .jsonor- .uifile) or
- a - GENERATEDC++ file that isn't recognized by- AUTOMOCand- AUTOUICbecause it's skipped by- SKIP_AUTOMOC,- SKIP_AUTOUIC,- SKIP_AUTOGENor- CMP0071or
- a file that isn't in the origin target's sources 
it must be added to AUTOGEN_TARGET_DEPENDS.
