[CMake] Is it possible to show dependent files in Visual Studio folders for ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET?
Hello all,
I hope you can help me answering whether the following is possible with CMake:
We have a set of C++ libraries, some of which are header-only.
Obviously those ones don't really need to be built, but it's
interesting to define targets for them anyway to define dependencies
in other executables libraries that depend on them.
Right now, my approach to define header-only libs is like:
add_custom_target(LIB_NAME DEPENDS ${LIST_OF_HEADERS})
But then the Visual Studio (or CodeBlock) folders don't show any of
the header files, only the CMakeLists.txt file and the CMake rules
folder.
I've tried with explicit calls to SOURCE_GROUP() without results.
I would be great to have the headers shown in the project folder for
quickly opening them for editing, launching all solution files
searches, etc.
Any idea on how to achieve this? Is it possible without modifying CMake sources?
Cheers,
Jose Luis

I think this is what the SOURCES arg is for. You could just duplicate
the list of DEPENDS files as the SOURCES argument too:
add_custom_target(LIB_NAME DEPENDS ${LIST_OF_HEADERS} SOURCES
${LIST_OF_HEADERS})

That's exactly what I was looking for, thanks Fraser!
