" "Note that MAIN_DEPENDENCY is completely optional and is " "used as a suggestion to visual studio about where to hang the " "custom command. In makefile terms this creates a new target in the " "following form:\n" " OUTPUT: MAIN_DEPENDENCY DEPENDS\n" " COMMAND\n" "If more than one command is specified they will be executed in order. " "The optional ARGS argument is for backward compatibility and will be " "ignored.\n" "The second signature adds a custom command to a target " "such as a library or executable. This is useful for " "performing an operation before or after building the target. " "The command becomes part of the target and will only execute " "when the target itself is built. If the target is already built," " the command will not execute.\n" " add_custom_command(TARGET target\n" " PRE_BUILD | PRE_LINK | POST_BUILD\n" " COMMAND command1 [ARGS] [args1...]\n" " [COMMAND command2 [ARGS] [args2...] ...]\n" " [WORKING_DIRECTORY dir]\n" " [COMMENT comment] [VERBATIM])\n" "This defines a new command that will be associated with " "building the specified target. When the command will " "happen is determined by which of the following is specified:\n" " PRE_BUILD - run before all other dependencies\n" " PRE_LINK - run after other dependencies\n" " POST_BUILD - run after the target has been built\n" "Note that the PRE_BUILD option is only supported on Visual " "Studio 7 or later. For all other generators PRE_BUILD " "will be treated as PRE_LINK.\n" "If WORKING_DIRECTORY is specified the command will be executed " "in the directory given. " "If COMMENT is set, the value will be displayed as a " "message before the commands are executed at build time. " "If APPEND is specified the COMMAND and DEPENDS option values " "are appended to the custom command for the first output specified. " "There must have already been a previous call to this command with " "the same output.

" "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. " "In the future VERBATIM may be enabled by default. The only reason " "it is an option is to preserve compatibility with older CMake code.\n" "If the output of the custom command is not actually " "created as a file on disk it should be marked as SYMBOLIC with " "SET_SOURCE_FILES_PROPERTIES.\n" "The IMPLICIT_DEPENDS option requests scanning of implicit " "dependencies of an input file. The language given specifies the " "programming language whose corresponding dependency scanner should " "be used. Currently only C and CXX language scanners are supported. " "Dependencies discovered from the scanning are added to those of " "the custom command at build time. Note that the IMPLICIT_DEPENDS " "option is currently supported only for Makefile generators and " "will be ignored by other generators."

Additionally a " "target-level dependency will be added so that the executable target " "will be built before any target using this custom command. However " "this does NOT add a file-level dependency that would cause the " "custom command to re-run whenever the executable is recompiled.\n" "If DEPENDS specifies any target (created by an ADD_* command) " "a target-level dependency is created to make sure the target is " "built before any target using this custom command. Additionally, " "if the target is an executable or library a file-level dependency " "is created to cause the custom command to re-run whenever the target " "is recompiled.\n" ; } cmTypeMacro(cmAddCustomCommandCommand, cmCommand); protected: bool CheckOutputs(const std::vector& outputs); }; #endif
