<br>
I tried generating into the ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE}/<wbr>include/nanogui, which will work for Makefiles but not for Ninja.<br>
<br>
So it seems that maybe this is not a pathing issue at all, but instead an order of operations issue.  If the Ninja generator ends up having this as PRE_LINK, the files haven’t been generated yet.<br>
<br>
That doesn’t quite explain why it worked previously, but perhaps the original setup was inherently flawed by relying on PRE_BUILD which is not a guaranteed order.<br>
<br>
Does anybody have thoughts on how to change things?  The files cannot be compiled on their own, but maybe I should instead create a fake target and make it a dependency of the real (object) library that needs them.  I keep messing that up, but this seems the most promising.<br>
