David, Thanks for your help. So if I do it as you suggest, this will also require I specify `ALL` to add_custom_target(), correct? If I do it this way, will it still run even if it isn't a dependency of the target I'm building?
Let me set up a simple scenario for my own understanding. Suppose I have the following targets: * A (add_library target) * B (add_library target) * C (add_custom_target target) Dependencies: B depends on A C depends on B and A Normally if I build B, only A and B will build. However, if C was set up using `ALL`, will it build C when I build B? So the expected build order in this case would be: 1. A 2. B 3. C Thanks in advance.
