[CMake] Re: [Insight-users] Qmake to CMake migration - IMAGES

[Clinton Stimpson]

It would be nice to have CMake help with image collections instead of doing
a custom build rule.

So your build rule generates a file called image_collection.cpp?  And are
you adding that file to the list of sources to build the executable with. 
Building without that will never give you a linker error and you won't see
any images from that collection showing up in the application.

I've whipped up a simple little test app to demonstrate how this works.  I
can zip it up and send it to anyone who wants it.

I don't think you can direct moc generated files to go somewhere other than
the build directory.  I use out-of-source builds, so that is never a
concern for me.

Once you have things setup, I don't see how qmake or cmake have much of an
advantage over each other in adding files during development.
