Hi David,

Note that the targets file name is target1.targets.

So, please read it as

<Import Project="target1.targets" />

Thanks & Regards

Hi David,

Thanks for the response. Sorry to use the cmake pre-defined word "test". My actual query was not this. I just used "test" as an example without realizing that it is actually a cmake pre-defined word.

So, my actual query is as follows (2 points below):

1.  In Microsoft Visual Studio project file module1.vcxproj, the targets file (target1.targets) gets included as follows:

 <Import Project="module1.targets" />

 In target1.targets, there are multiple entries of various targets as follows:

  <Target Name="Target_1" ......>

    <....>

  </Target>

  <Target Name="Target_2" ......>

    <....>

  </Target>

To achieve the same thing in cmake, in the CMakeLists.txt file of module “module1” we are using the following command:

add_custom_target() with the appropriate target names for the above i.e. we make 2 calls to add_custom_target() with target names Target_1 and Target_2

Is this the correct way to convert Visual Studio .targets file to cmake OR is there any other way ?

2.  Also, if we take the above approach then for each call to add_custom_target(), a Visual Studio project file gets created under the module "module1". So, in this case there will be 2 vcxproject files created i.e. Target_1.vcxproj and Target_2.vcxproj created for module "module1".

Please confirm if this is the expected behavior in cmake.

Thanks & Regards

The problem as reported, is that you're trying to use add_custom_target

with a target named "test" -- but you can't do that with CMake because

"test" is a built-in "well-known" predefined target name.

Other so-called "well-known" target names include "all" "install"

"package" and "package_source". And there may be others. If I can find

a definitive documented list, I'll forward it...

You can use any other name you like, but you should avoid the

pre-defined target names that CMake already uses.

HTH,

David C.
