-add_custom_target
------------------
-
-Add a target with no output so it will always be built.
-
-.. code-block:: cmake
-
- add_custom_target(Name [ALL] [command1 [args1...]]
- [COMMAND command2 [args2...] ...]
- [DEPENDS depend depend depend ... ]
- [BYPRODUCTS [files...]]
- [WORKING_DIRECTORY dir]
- [COMMENT comment]
- [JOB_POOL job_pool]
- [VERBATIM] [USES_TERMINAL]
- [COMMAND_EXPAND_LISTS]
- [SOURCES src1 [src2...]])
-
-Adds a target with the given name that executes the given commands.
-The target has no output file and is *always considered out of date*
-even if the commands try to create a file with the name of the target.
-Use the :command:`add_custom_command` command to generate a file with
-dependencies. By default nothing depends on the custom target. Use
-the :command:`add_dependencies` command to add dependencies to or
-from other targets.
-
-The options are:
-
-``ALL``
- Indicate that this target should be added to the default build
- target so that it will be run every time (the command cannot be
- called ``ALL``).
-
-``BYPRODUCTS``
- Specify the files the command is expected to produce but whose
- modification time may or may not be updated on subsequent builds.
- If a byproduct name is a relative path it will be interpreted
- relative to the build tree directory corresponding to the
- current source directory.
- Each byproduct file will be marked with the :prop_sf:`GENERATED`
- source file property automatically.
-
- Explicit specification of byproducts is supported by the
- :generator:`Ninja` generator to tell the ``ninja`` build tool
- how to regenerate byproducts when they are missing. It is
- also useful when other build rules (e.g. custom commands)
- depend on the byproducts. Ninja requires a build rule for any
- generated file on which another rule depends even if there are
- order-only dependencies to ensure the byproducts will be
- available before their dependents build.
-
- The :ref:`Makefile Generators` will remove ``BYPRODUCTS`` and other
- :prop_sf:`GENERATED` files during ``make clean``.
-
-``COMMAND``
- Specify the command-line(s) to execute at build time.
- If more than one ``COMMAND`` is specified they will be executed in order,
- but *not* necessarily composed into a stateful shell or batch script.
- (To run a full script, use the :command:`configure_file` command or the
- :command:`file(GENERATE)` command to create it, and then specify
- a ``COMMAND`` to launch it.)
-
- If ``COMMAND`` specifies an executable target name (created by the
- :command:`add_executable` command), it will automatically be replaced
- by the location of the executable created at build time if either of
- the following is true:
-
- * The target is not being cross-compiled (i.e. the
- :variable:`CMAKE_CROSSCOMPILING` variable is not set to true).
- * The target is being cross-compiled and an emulator is provided (i.e.
- its :prop_tgt:`CROSSCOMPILING_EMULATOR` target property is set).
- In this case, the contents of :prop_tgt:`CROSSCOMPILING_EMULATOR` will be
- prepended to the command before the location of the target executable.
-
- If neither of the above conditions are met, it is assumed that the
- command name is a program to be found on the ``PATH`` at build time.
-
- Arguments to ``COMMAND`` may use
- :manual:`generator expressions <cmake-generator-expressions(7)>`.
- Use the ``TARGET_FILE`` generator expression to refer to the location of
- a target later in the command line (i.e. as a command argument rather
- than as the command to execute).
-
- Whenever a target is used as a command to execute or is mentioned in a
- generator expression as a command argument, a target-level dependency
- will be added automatically so that the mentioned target will be built
- before this custom target.
-
- The command and arguments are optional and if not specified an empty
- target will be created.
-
-``COMMENT``
- Display the given message before the commands are executed at
- build time.
-
-``DEPENDS``
- Reference files and outputs of custom commands created with
- :command:`add_custom_command` command calls in the same directory
- (``CMakeLists.txt`` file). They will be brought up to date when
- the target is built.
- A target-level dependency is added if any dependency is a byproduct
- of a target or any of its build events in the same directory to ensure
- the byproducts will be available before this target is built.
-
- Use the :command:`add_dependencies` command to add dependencies
- on other targets.
-
-``COMMAND_EXPAND_LISTS``
- Lists in ``COMMAND`` arguments will be expanded, including those
- created with
- :manual:`generator expressions <cmake-generator-expressions(7)>`,
- allowing ``COMMAND`` arguments such as
- ``${CC} "-I$<JOIN:$<TARGET_PROPERTY:foo,INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES>,;-I>" foo.cc``
- to be properly expanded.
-
-``JOB_POOL``
- Specify a :prop_gbl:`pool <JOB_POOLS>` for the :generator:`Ninja`
- generator. Incompatible with ``USES_TERMINAL``, which implies
- the ``console`` pool.
- Using a pool that is not defined by :prop_gbl:`JOB_POOLS` causes
- an error by ninja at build time.
-
-``SOURCES``
- Specify additional source files to be included in the custom target.
- Specified source files will be added to IDE project files for
- convenience in editing even if they have no build rules.
-
-``VERBATIM``
- All arguments to the commands will be escaped properly for the
- build tool so that the invoked command receives each argument
- unchanged. Note that one level of escapes is still used by the
- CMake language processor before ``add_custom_target`` even sees
- the arguments. Use of ``VERBATIM`` is recommended as it enables
- correct behavior. When ``VERBATIM`` is not given the behavior
- is platform specific because there is no protection of
- tool-specific special characters.
-
-``USES_TERMINAL``
- The command will be given direct access to the terminal if possible.
- With the :generator:`Ninja` generator, this places the command in
- the ``console`` :prop_gbl:`pool <JOB_POOLS>`.
-
-``WORKING_DIRECTORY``
- Execute the command with the given current working directory.
- If it is a relative path it will be interpreted relative to the
- build tree directory corresponding to the current source directory.
-
- Arguments to ``WORKING_DIRECTORY`` may use
- :manual:`generator expressions <cmake-generator-expressions(7)>`.
