1CMAKE_GLOBAL_AUTOGEN_TARGET
2---------------------------
3
4.. versionadded:: 3.14
5
6Switch to enable generation of a global ``autogen`` target.
7
8When :variable:`CMAKE_GLOBAL_AUTOGEN_TARGET` is enabled, a custom target
9``autogen`` is generated.  This target depends on all :prop_tgt:`AUTOMOC` and
10:prop_tgt:`AUTOUIC` generated ``<ORIGIN>_autogen`` targets in the project.
11By building the global ``autogen`` target, all :prop_tgt:`AUTOMOC` and
12:prop_tgt:`AUTOUIC` files in the project will be generated.
13
14The name of the global ``autogen`` target can be changed by setting
15:variable:`CMAKE_GLOBAL_AUTOGEN_TARGET_NAME`.
16
17By default :variable:`CMAKE_GLOBAL_AUTOGEN_TARGET` is unset.
18
19See the :manual:`cmake-qt(7)` manual for more information on using CMake
20with Qt.

22Note
23^^^^
24
25``<ORIGIN>_autogen`` targets by default inherit their origin target's
26dependencies.  This might result in unintended dependency target
27builds when only ``<ORIGIN>_autogen`` targets are built.  A solution is to
28disable :prop_tgt:`AUTOGEN_ORIGIN_DEPENDS` on the respective origin targets.
