I am building a KDE control panel plugin, and there is a requirement to use a different translation mechanism rather than the default Qt "tr" macros. So I want to post-process my ui_*.h files to replace lines like this
ClearSiteDataDialog->setWindowTitle(tr2i18n("foo", 0)); with the replacement code like this ClearSiteDataDialog->setWindowTitle(Translator::instance().lookupString(CSD_DIALOG_TITLE)); I wrote a python script to do that, and I'm calling it like this from cmakelists.txt: cmake_minimum_required (VERSION 2.6.0) set (CMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE true) find_package(KDE4 REQUIRED) file(GLOB SRC_FILES *.cpp) set(kcm_my_plugin_PART_SRCS ${SRC_FILES}) message(STATUS "build type ${CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE}") file(GLOB UI_FILES *.ui) message(STATUS "ui files ${UI_FILES}") kde4_add_ui_files(kcm_my_plugin_PART_SRCS ${UI_FILES}) kde4_add_plugin(kcm_my_plugin ${kcm_my_plugin_PART_SRCS} ${LINUX_COMMON_SOURCE} ${COMMON_SOURCE} ${COMMON_SOURCE_IMPL}) target_link_libraries(kcm_my_plugin ${KDE4_KDEUI_LIBS} ${KDE4_KCMUTILS_LIBS} ${X11_LIBRARIES} kutils) # post-process the ui_*.h header files AFTER they have been generated but BEFORE compiling anything add_custom_target(ui_translate COMMAND ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/tools/convert-tr2-all.py WORKING_DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}) ADD_DEPENDENCIES(kcm_my_plugin ui_translate) ADD_DEPENDENCIES(kcm_my_plugin_automoc ui_translate) The only trouble is, it tries to call the script at the beginning of the build process, so the first time I run "make" it fails, and the second time after the ui_*.h files have been generated it succeeds. So, I need to control the order somehow, and I haven't dug deep enough into the KDE4 package to understand how the existing steps are done in the right order. I need to append my extra step after the point where it generates the ui header files from the UI files. I'm looking for ideas on what the dependency should be - which target do I depend on to get it done at the right time? _______________________________________________ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
