| add_dependencies
|
| ----------------
|
|
|
| Add a dependency between top-level targets.
|
|
|
| .. code-block:: cmake
|
|
|
| add_dependencies(<target> [<target-dependency>]...)
|
|
|
| Makes a top-level ``<target>`` depend on other top-level targets to
|
| ensure that they build before ``<target>`` does. A top-level target
|
| is one created by one of the :command:`add_executable`,
|
| :command:`add_library`, or :command:`add_custom_target` commands
|
| (but not targets generated by CMake like ``install``).
|
|
|
| Dependencies added to an :ref:`imported target <Imported Targets>`
|
| or an :ref:`interface library <Interface Libraries>` are followed
|
| transitively in its place since the target itself does not build.
|
|
|
| .. versionadded:: 3.3
|
| Allow adding dependencies to interface libraries.
|
|
|
| .. versionadded:: 3.8
|
| Dependencies will populate the :prop_tgt:`MANUALLY_ADDED_DEPENDENCIES`
|
| property of ``<target>``.
|
|
|
| .. versionchanged:: 3.9
|
| The :ref:`Ninja Generators` use weaker ordering than
|
| other generators in order to improve available concurrency.
|
| They only guarantee that the dependencies' custom commands are
|
| finished before sources in ``<target>`` start compiling
|
| ensures generated sources are available.
