Hi (especially Alex), I noticed that the automoc target is run each time, even for a trivial project:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8) project(automoctest) set(CMAKE_AUTOMOC ON) find_package(Qt5Widgets REQUIRED) add_executable(main main.cpp) target_link_libraries(main Qt5::Widgets) Each time I run make I get [ 33%] Automatic moc for target main /path/to/cmake -E cmake_autogen /path/to/build/CMakeFiles/main_automoc.dir/ "" I checked CMake 2.8.7 and it executes the target each time too. In the implementation, makefile->AddUtilityCommand is called with 'true' to set the excludeFromAll parameter. I don't see why the target is executed each time, but is it that way by design?
