Apologies for above; bad GMail, bad!
So:
Say I have a translation file, defined ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND() to generate
it on request:
ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND(
OUTPUT foo.trans
COMMAND abracadabra -o foo.trans
)
Let's say that it would be complicated to specify dependencies of this
file from all source code files in my project, and that I prefer to not
have it regenerated each time when some of source files changed anyway.
Further, I have "translations" target defined, so that I could generate
these files upon request:
ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET(
translations
DEPENDS foo.trans
)
Finally, translations file is installed through corresponding INSTALL()
command:
INSTALL(
FILES foo.trans
DESTINATION translations
PERMISSIONS OWNER_READ OWNER_WRITE GROUP_READ WORLD_READ
)
Now, I'd need 2 additional things to achieve:
1. If foo.trans doesn't exists when "make install" run (or more
precisely, if I haven't remembered to run "make translations"
beforehand), I'd still like foo.trans to be generated. So what I'd like
to achieve would be to have "make install" dependent on "translations"
target, but reading through mailing list archives I saw this is not
possible.
2. Actually, in both cases ("make translations" and "make install"), I'd
like foo.trans to be re-generated, which means to have the command
"abracadabra -o foo.trans" re-run. I know I could add:
COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E remove foo.trans
immediately after OUTPUT line above in ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET(), but I'm
wondering is there a more elegant solution?
Thanks.
