Normally, you would want to keep your source tree clean from any build-time
modifications (CMake *strongly discourages* in-source builds, with good
reason).
Therefore, you'd want to generate the files in CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR.
Assuming the generator always writes them into its current
Hi Petr,
Thanks, indeed I had unset the property !
Cmake works fine with removing the line. But I have now a doubt.
My generator generates the files in the current dir.
Should I indicate the working directory in add_custom_command ?
so that the generated sources are added in
Hi
I have a generator that generates some, but not all of the source files.
My understanding was that I should use add_custom_command for that
When I do
set(EXIST_SOURCES A.cc B.cc C.cc)

set_property(SOURCE ${GEN_SOURCES} PROPERTY GENERATED )
CMake will mark the files as generated automatically.

because you didn't pass any argument to set the property to, so it's
