Source code generation

qi_generate_src(out [SRC <src> ...]
    [COMMAND <command> ...]
    COMMENT
)
Arguments:
  • out – the generated files in a list
  • SRC – a group of sources to take as input
  • COMMAND – the command to run to generate the files
  • COMMENT – a comment to be displayed while generating the source file

Generate a source file

Example of use:

set(_input ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/input.data)
set(_output ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/generated.c)
qi_generate_src(${_output} SRC ${_input} COMMAND my_script ${_input} -o ${_output})
qi_create_bin(my_bin ${_output} main.c)

Note that the base dir of the output will automatically be created, so you do not have to worry about it in your script.

qi_generate_header(out [SRC <src> ...]
    [COMMAND <command> ...]
    COMMENT
)
Arguments:
  • out – the resulting source file
  • SRC – a group of sources to take as input
  • COMMAND – the command to run to generate the source file
  • COMMENT – a comment to be displayed while generating the source file

Generate a header

Example of use:

set(_input ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/input.data)
set(_generated_h ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/generated.h)
qi_generate_header(${_generated_h} SRC ${_input}
 COMMAND my_script ${_input} -o ${_generated_h})
qi_create_bin(foo ${_generated_h} main.c)
qi_install_header(${_generated_h})
Notes:
  • the base dir of the header will automatically be created, so you do not have to worry about it in your script.
  • include_directories() will be called with the directory where the header is generated.
qi_generate_trampoline(out in [List <list> ...]
    [PYTHON]
)
Arguments:
  • out – name of the output file, will be put in sdk binary dir.
  • in – script source file below src directory
  • List – of dependencies the script uses.
  • PYTHON – set if the script is a python script. The trampoline scripts sets the following variables: - The appropriate LIBRARY__PATH variable for the platform - PYTHONPATH (Not yet supported) - QI_PATH to all the paths added to the other variables warning for maximum portability, always explicitly invoke python when runnning the trampoline script.

Generate a trampoline script in stage binary dir that bounces to an other script in source dir

To be used if your script needs to run from src dir, and access some built libraries or other components.
