Can you run the source generator at cmake time ?
Yes you are right and I miss that,
if the generator is launched at CMake time it may help a lot.
I had another idea. About how many generated files are there, and how
big are they? It they are smallish, you could generate a single source
file that includes the generated files.
generated.cxx
#include gen1.cxx
#include gen2.cxx
#include gen3.cxx
...
Then you could have a custom command

Moreover I would say that the source file list generated by the
generator may be some kind of CMake
Thanks for the advice, Bill.

- build runs the source generator; one of the outputs is a file
containing the names of the generated sources.
- rerun cmake to regenerate
I believe you can have cmake read the contents of a file into a
variable. If the file that lists the generated files is a semi-colon
or space delimited (assuming no spaces in the names or paths) then you
can read the file directly into a cmake variable, then use that
variable as the source
I'm working on a project that involves generating a large chunk of the
sources from separate definitions. The set of generated source files
is not known before it is generated.
The approach I've tried so far (and I'm very new to cmake) is to
define a custom_command that does the source
