I'm not clear what you are trying to do. Are you generating a list of files to compile at configuration time, or at build time?
CMake can two things: 1. Configure a file list at configure time. 2. Run a cmake script at build time. But you can't generate a file list at build time. At build time, your build system is in charge and knows absolutely nothing about CMake or CMake library file lists. In the particular case of Qt, there are a bunch of macros that handle interacting with Qt's unique way of handling files. It sets up dependencies on Qt-generated files, and inserts recipies for building the generated files in the target build system's recipes. If I knew what you were actually trying to do I could make suggestions. -- Kent Williams [email protected] On 9/25/13 11:15 AM, "Kevin Wojniak" <[email protected]> wrote: >Hi, been searching for a while on this and can't find an answer.
