Summary0012214: The "output_required_files" command should be documented as deprecated
DescriptionAccording to the "Mastering CMake" book 4th edition, the "output_required_files" command should take a source file and produce a list of all other source file it depends on. So far I tried it with Fortran source files and it didn't work, it basically creates an empty file which supposedly should contain a list of source file dependencies.

I found this post online as well which covers the same issue and apparently no solution from anyone so far:
http://www.cmake.org/pipermail/cmake/2009-September/031904.html [^]

Does the command actually work or it's something that the author's of the book are still planning to implement?

I would appreciate it if the authors of the book Bill Hoffman or Ken Martin can kindly comment on this and perhaps give us a simple example on how to get this working.

Thank you for your help.

 This is a documentation bug. The command works only for C source files and exists only for historical purposes. I've fixed the documentation:
