Thanks, Petr. This sounds like what we need, but I must be missing something.
I have:
SET( ZFPE_FILES
FOO.asm
)
(and of course many more files in that variable). Then later:
add_library(zfpe ${ZFPE_FILES})
set_property(SOURCE FOO.asm PROPERTY OBJECT_DEPENDS BAR.mac)
(all files have explicit paths on them). When I do a cmake, it builds the
world. Then I change BAR.mac and do a cmake and a make and it doesn't
reassemble FOO.
This is all complicated somewhat by the additional plumbing I have wrapped
around it (we're cross-compiling with a two-phase compiler, and so there's some
other stuff in there), but the cmake and make are both definitely being invoked.
One (of many) things I'm not understanding is where the check for changes to
BAR takes place. I notice that BAR does not appear in the MakeFile at all.
I tried adding a few MESSAGEs and it's doing the set_property as expected
(i.e., that code didn't somehow get bypassed).

Hi Phil.
If your FOO.asm is used as a source file (i.e. it's listed in an
add_executable() or add_library() command), then you can use the source file
property OBJECT_DEPENDS for that:
add_executable(myexe FOO.asm other.file one.more)
set_property(SOURCE FOO.asm PROPERTY OBJECT_DEPENDS BAR.mac BAZ.mac) #any
list of dependencies here
As an alternative to set_property(), you can use the weaker, but shorthand
setter set_source_files_properties() (which can set it for multiple files at
once).
If they're somehow processed with a custom command/target (i.e. via
add_custom_command() or add_custom_target() instead of library/executable), you
can use that command's DEPENDS argument.

We have assembler modules in a project. These use macros, as assembler modules
are wont to do.
So if module FOO.asm uses macro BAR.mac, and we change BAR, a CMake should
rebuild FOO. We recognize that we're going to have to define these dependencies
manually, but I'm assuming/hoping that there's a way to do that in a CMakeLists.
Unfortunately words like "dependency" make lousy search terms!
Can someone point me? Or, even better, give me an example of how to say
"FOO.asm depends on macro BAR.mac"?
Thanks...
