Indeed, we found it was possible to create an empty target, adding subdirectories, obtaining the global src list, adding a library based on the src list for which source file properties were set to GENERATED 1 and adding a dependency between the lib and the custom target worked. add_sources() was modified to add local custom targets and add dependencies to the top level target on the fly. This is in the cmake wiki and it seems rather hackish, but against better judgement we moulded it a bit anyway ;) http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ#How_can_I_add_a_dependency_to_a_source_file_which_is_generated_in_a_subdirectory.3F >All very complicated and error prone.

I would much prefer something clean like that, although I think that wrapping the entire process in add_Sources() has reduced the chances of errors. I'm looking to make the CMakeLists.txt files as readable as possible, and offloading the functionality to a functions.cmake file, or so. The lib builds now, hopefully I can assemble the binary tomorrow. :) When it gets to the top level target, make chokes somewhat, but I guess that's to be expected, I'll see tomorrow about make -j x. Thanks Michael.
