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 ``BYPRODUCTS`` option is ignored on non-Ninja generators - except to mark byproducts ``GENERATED``. - -``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 (created by the - :command:`add_executable` command) it will automatically be replaced - by the location of the executable created at build time. - Additionally a target-level dependency will be added so that the - executable target will be built before this custom target. - - Arguments to ``COMMAND`` may use - :manual:`generator expressions <cmake-generator-expressions(7)>`. - References to target names in generator expressions imply target-level - dependencies. - - 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. - - Use the :command:`add_dependencies` command to add dependencies - on other targets. - -``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. |
