Hi all,<br>
<br>
I have one issue with organising dependencies between projects.<br>
<br>
<br>
I have three projects,<br>
- first is application which contain static code of the application,<br>
- second is library which is contain code for the library,<br>
- third is library which generates the source code and headers, and<br>
provide library.<br>
<br>
First project is link against static library, and generated library.<br>
Generated headers from third project are used by first and second<br>
project.<br>
<br>
the application project looks like (in a hudge simplification):<br>
project(application)<br>
add_subdirectory(librarygen)<br>
add_subdirectory(library)<br>
<br>
<br>
add_executable(application sources1..x)<br>
<br>
<br>
My question is what is the common practice of creating dependencies?<br>
e.g library project is not aware about how to generate the headers,<br>
generated makefiles will try to run generation of librarygen and<br>
compilation library at the same time, since it is wrong<br>
<br>
the situation is changing when I manualy specify dependencies:<br>
add_dependencies(library librarygen)<br>
<br>
Is there any other mechanism inside cmake to manage dependencies<br>
between cmake projects to files that will be generated?<br>
What is the common practice with code generation?<br>
<br>
thanks in advance,<br>
Lukasz<br>
