| 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. |
| |
| See the ``DEPENDS`` option of :command:`add_custom_target` and |
| :command:`add_custom_command` commands for adding file-level |
| dependencies in custom rules. See the :prop_sf:`OBJECT_DEPENDS` |
| source file property to add file-level dependencies to object files. |
