No. From my response back then: >> The "clean" target is not a first class target available to >> CMakeLists.txt code....We do plan to make targets like install >> and clean first class eventually but it is not yet implemented. This never happened. These generator-provided targets have very different semantics (e.g. per-directory behavior in the Makefile generator) and that makes it hard to define them in a way that is visible to client code during configuration. It may be possible but will require deep design thought. > I realise the `clean` target won't be available for all generators but > for those that do, it would be really nice to able to do something > like this. > > add_dependencies(clean CleanKLEERuntimes) Just as `ADDITIONAL_MAKE_CLEAN_FILES` is a make-specific solution I think something like `ADDITIONAL_MAKE_CLEAN_COMMAND` or perhaps `ADDITIONAL_MAKE_CLEAN_TARGET` could be offered. Such configuration could be interpreted by the makefile generator while generating the "make clean" target. -Brad -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
