AUTOGEN_ORIGIN_DEPENDSΒΆ
Added in version 3.14.
Switch for forwarding origin target dependencies to the corresponding The <ORIGIN>_autogen target target.
Note
If Qt 5.15 or later is used and the generator is either
Ninjaor Makefile Generators, origin target dependencies are forwarded to the The <ORIGIN>_autogen_timestamp_deps target target instead of The <ORIGIN>_autogen target
Targets which have their AUTOMOC or AUTOUIC property
ON have a corresponding The <ORIGIN>_autogen target target which generates
moc and uic files.  As this The <ORIGIN>_autogen target target is created at
generate-time, it is not possible to define dependencies of it using
e.g.  add_dependencies().  Instead the AUTOGEN_ORIGIN_DEPENDS
target property decides whether the origin target dependencies should be
forwarded to the The <ORIGIN>_autogen target target or not.
By default AUTOGEN_ORIGIN_DEPENDS is initialized from
CMAKE_AUTOGEN_ORIGIN_DEPENDS which is ON by default.
In total the dependencies of the The <ORIGIN>_autogen target 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.
Note
Disabling AUTOGEN_ORIGIN_DEPENDS is useful to avoid building of
origin target dependencies when building the The <ORIGIN>_autogen target target
only. This is especially interesting when a
global autogen target is enabled.
When the The <ORIGIN>_autogen target target doesn't require all the origin target's
dependencies, and AUTOGEN_ORIGIN_DEPENDS is disabled, it might be
necessary to extend AUTOGEN_TARGET_DEPENDS to add missing
dependencies.
