Thanks Ken.  Setting the GENERATED flag for a file in a source list does 
stop it from complaining that it doesn't exist during configuration, but 
when I use it, it seems to ignore the file altogether during build as well 
(doesn't include the file in the library that I'm trying to build).  Is 
there some trick to using the GENERATED flag, or is this possibly a bug?

What I'm doing is:

ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET -> creates gensrc.cxx
SET_SOURCE_FILE_PROPERTIES(gensrc.cxx GENERATED)
SOURCE_FILES( FILES ... gensrc)
ADD_LIBRARY(libname FILES)

If I create an empty version of gensrc.cxx and take out the GENERATED flag, 
everything works fine, otherwise I have to choose between not configuring, 
or not building.

Thanks for any help,
Kevin.
