Summary

0010360: add_custom_target doesn't ignore SOURCES for Makefile generators

Description

Hi there,

add_custom_target(mytarget SOURCES myfile.h) perfectly creates a target that consists of 1 source file under Visual Studio, XCode, Eclipse, ... but for Unix Makefiles or MinGW Makefiles it doesn't recognize/ignore SOURCES and the following as a reserved word but interprets SOURCES and myfile.h as files it depends on. This breaks the build process for Makefiles, because they won't find the file SOURCES. We currently circumvent this bug with Generator dependent behaviour but I think cmake would be more platform independent if it would ignore SOURCES and the files behind.

Cheers,
Dave

(0019694) Bill Hoffman (manager) 2010-03-03 11:54	Can you attach a full example of this problem in a tar file to this bug? add_custom_command SOURCES is evaluated before the generator is even picked...??
