Hi Gustavo:

I am not sure the following is necessary if the source files are built in
the same directory where they are needed, but for the case where source
files are built in a different directory (the case for my generated
header), you must have your executable or library target depend on an empty
custom target which in turn depends on your custom command to insure the
source files get built before they need to be compiled.

In any case, I do not think multiple invocations of cmake will be necessary
in order to use generated source files.

But if I understand correctly then at cmake time the files which will have to
be compiled are not yet known, right ?
I think this is a problem.

Probably since you are more a CMake expert than me.  :-)

However, what then is the purpose of the SET_SOURCE_FILES_PROPERTIES GENERATED
property?  I have never used that flag, but I cannot think of any use for
it except the present situation.
