TLDR：

我的问题是 CMake 在下载存储库之前开始执行此功能。我想在 ExternalProject_Add 上声明该函数的依赖项，以便 CMake 了解它应该下载、构建然后运行该函数。

上下文：

我有一个 cmake 模块SomeModule.cmake，它应该从其存储库中添加flatbuffers作为外部项目并构建它。该构建将生成 flatbuffers 编译器可执行文件，我打算在some/directory/CMakeLists.txt文件中使用它来从 flatbuffers 模式生成 c++ 头文件。因此，在我使用的同一个 CMake 模块中ExternalProject_Add，我声明了一个 CMake 函数，该函数从给定的一组模式文件生成头文件，并在某处some/directory/CMakeLists.txt调用该函数。

说够了。以下是代码的相关部分：

SomeModule.cmake：

include(ExternalProject)

set(flatbuffers_CMAKE_ARGS
    "-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=${CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER}"
    "-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=${CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE}"
    "-DFLATBUFFERS_BUILD_TESTS=OFF"
    "-DFLATBUFFERS_BUILD_FLATC=ON"
    "-DFLATBUFFERS_BUILD_FLATHASH=OFF"
    "-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=${OTS_DEPENDENCIES}"
)

ExternalProject_Add(
    flatbuffers
    GIT_REPOSITORY  "https://github.com/google/flatbuffers.git"
    GIT_TAG         "v1.9.0"
    SOURCE_DIR      "${OTS_DEPDENDENCIES_DIR}/flatbuffers"
    BINARY_DIR      "${OTS_DEPDENDENCIES_DIR}/flatbuffers"
    CMAKE_ARGS      "${flatbuffers_CMAKE_ARGS}"
    INSTALL_COMMAND ""
)

ExternalProject_Get_Property(flatbuffers SOURCE_DIR)
ExternalProject_Get_Property(flatbuffers BINARY_DIR)
set(flatbuffers_SOURCE_DIR ${SOURCE_DIR})
set(flatbuffers_BINARY_DIR ${BINARY_DIR})
set(flatbuffers_INCLUDE_DIR ${flatbuffers_SOURCE_DIR}/include)
set(flatbuffers_FLATC_EXECUTABLE ${flatbuffers_BINARY_DIR}/flatc)
# please assume that the variables above are all set to appropriate values

function(FlatbuffersGenerateCpp SCHEMA_FILES GENERATED_DIR GENERATED_CXX)
    foreach(SCHEMA_FILE ${SCHEMA_FILES})
        get_filename_component(NAME ${SCHEMA_FILE} NAME_WE)
        set(GENERATED_HEADER_FILE_PATH ${GENERATED_DIR}/${NAME}_generated.h)
        message(STATUS "attempting to generate: ${GENERATED_HEADER_FILE_PATH}")
        add_custom_command(
            DEPENDS ${flatbuffers_FLATC_EXECUTABLE}
            OUTPUT ${GENERATED_HEADER_FILE_PATH}
            COMMAND ${flatbuffers_FLATC_EXECUTABLE} -o ${GENERATED_DIR} -c ${SCHEMA_FILE}
            COMMENT "generating flatbuffers c++ header file: ${GENERATED_HEADER_FILE_PATH}"
        )
        list(APPEND GENERATED_FILES ${GENERATED_HEADER_FILE_PATH})
    endforeach()
    message(STATUS "generated c++ header files: ${GENERATED_FILES}")
    set(${GENERATED_CXX} ${GENERATED_FILES} PARENT_SCOPE)
endfunction()

并且some/directory/CMakeLists.txt：

# cmake module path is properly set so the following works:
include(SomeModule)

set(flatbuffers_GENERATED_INCLUDES_DIR
    ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/generated/config/flatbuffers
)

FlatbuffersGenerateCpp(
    "${flatbuffers_SCHEMAS}"
    "${flatbuffers_GENERATED_INCLUDES_DIR}"
    flatbuffers_GENERATED_CXX
)

add_library(
    my_framework
SHARED
    ${THE_PUBLIC_HEADER_FILES}
    ${THE_IMPL_SOURCE_FILES}
    ${THE_IMPL_HEADER_FILES}
    ${flatbuffers_GENERATED_CXX}
)

add_dependencies(my_framework flatbuffers ${flatbuffers_GENERATED_CXX})

target_include_directories(my_framework PRIVATE ${flatbuffers_INCLUDE_DIR})
target_include_directories(my_framework PRIVATE ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR})
target_include_directories(my_framework PRIVATE ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/generated)
set_source_files_properties(${flatbuffers_GENERATED_CXX} PROPERTIES GENERATED TRUE)

我确实开始根据Tsyvarev发表的评论修改我的代码：

CMake 函数在配置阶段执行，因此您也需要在配置阶段构建外部项目。

虽然我相信他提出的解决方案会奏效，但我有点不舒服，并一直认为必须有一个更优雅的解决方案。我咨询了一位同事并提出了一个更好的解决方案，它与以下 diff 一样简单（删除${flatbuffers_GENERATED_CXX}）。

- add_dependencies(my_framework flatbuffers ${flatbuffers_GENERATED_CXX})
+ add_dependencies(my_framework flatbuffers)

我们回顾了有问题的代码的问题在于，CMake 读取add_dependencies(my_framework flatbuffers ${flatbuffers_GENERATED_CXX})并理解它需要${flatbuffers_GENERATED_CXX}作为构建目标，my_framework因此它继续运行该函数。但是它无法理解该功能取决于外部项目。现在，如果我们删除 的显式依赖声明${flatbuffers_GENERATED_CXX}，CMake 将在解决其他依赖项（flatbuffers 目标）之后运行该函数，这将在运行项目之前有效地下载和构建外部项目。
