CMAKE_GLOBAL_AUTOGEN_TARGET
---------------------------
.. versionadded:: 3.14
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 :prop_tgt:`AUTOMOC` and
:prop_tgt:`AUTOUIC` generated ``<ORIGIN>_autogen`` targets in the project.
By building the global ``autogen`` target, all :prop_tgt:`AUTOMOC` and
:prop_tgt:`AUTOUIC` files in the project will be generated.
The name of the global ``autogen`` target can be changed by setting
:variable:`CMAKE_GLOBAL_AUTOGEN_TARGET_NAME`.
By default ``CMAKE_GLOBAL_AUTOGEN_TARGET`` is unset.
See the :manual:`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 :prop_tgt:`AUTOGEN_ORIGIN_DEPENDS` on the respective origin targets.
