[CMake] Shared intermediary files

[Kevin Schmidt]

Yes, for clarity, we do generate the files at build time, not cmake time.

I'm not sure why there would be a conflict on the generated files (unless you are generating them at Build time rather than at CMake time), but you can probably solve the issue by making one version of the Library depend on the other version, thus preventing them from building at the same time.

Someone with more experience may be able to jump in hear and give a better answer..

Hi -
  Actually, I have two calls to add_library, so they are in two projects, but ONE solution.  They are built simultaneously by the BUILD_ALL target

Can you clarify your setup just a bit?

Do you have two ways you configure the build tree, once as Dynamic and once as Static libraries?  And you are building both at the same time?

Or

Are you are calling add_library() twice with the same input files but specifying SHARED on one of them, so they are all building together in one project (i.e. Visual Studio Solution)?

Or

Doing something completely different?

Hello,
  I'm in the process of converting over a large, monolithic tree with many libraries from a custom build solution over to cmake.  So far, we've loved it.  I am wondering about others' solutions to a problem we have encountered.

We have more than a few cases of generated source files - for example, Qt moc files.   These all get dumped into CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR.  Now, the libraries we have build both static & shared, and have the same source files.  In Visual Studio, this generates two projects in the solution.  It seems that these do not share dependencies.  Occasionally, this means that both libraries try to write to the generated source file at the same time, which generates a (false) build failure.

What do others do?  Am I misunderstanding something?
Kevin
