CMAKE_GLOBAL_AUTOGEN_TARGET

Switch to enable generation of a global autogen target.

When CMAKE_GLOBAL_AUTOGEN_TARGET is enabled, a custom target autogen is generated. This target depends on all AUTOMOC and AUTOUIC generated <ORIGIN>_autogen targets in the project. By building the global autogen target, all AUTOMOC and AUTOUIC files in the project will be generated.

The name of the global autogen target can be changed by setting CMAKE_GLOBAL_AUTOGEN_TARGET_NAME.

By default CMAKE_GLOBAL_AUTOGEN_TARGET is unset.

See the cmake-qt(7) manual for more information on using CMake with Qt.

Note

<ORIGIN>_autogen targets by default inherit their origin target’s dependencies. This might result in unintended dependency target builds when only <ORIGIN>_autogen targets are built. A solution is to disable AUTOGEN_ORIGIN_DEPENDS on the respective origin targets.
