Hi, I’m trying to print a message for a particular build target and am a bit stuck. I found that the IF statement has a TARGET keyword that should truthfully match for a particular build target, but it doesn’t seem to be working at least the way I’m trying to use it and would expect it to work. Snippet in question in a top-level CMakeLists.txt file looks like this:
if (TARGET check) message(“special note about CHECK target…”) elseif (TARGET test) message(“different note about TEST target…”) endif (TARGET check) Now what happens is that the CHECK message is printed … during cmake(!). What I’m trying to achieve is only have those messages printed during≈ “make check” and “make test”, etc. Ideally, I want to be able to inject a message before any target actions are taken and possibly after. I see in the docs that I can set COMMENT during add_custom_target(check …) and that should print my message before any target actions, but how can I get a similar message printed during ‘test’ or ‘all’ or some other implicit target? Is there a better or more general way? Thanks for your assistance. Cheers!
