Introduction

cmake-properties - Reference of CMake properties.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Properties

CMake Properties - Properties supported by CMake, the Cross-Platform Makefile Generator.

This is the documentation for the properties supported by CMake. Properties
can have different scopes. They can either be assigned to a source file, a
directory, a target or globally to CMake. By modifying the values of
properties the behaviour of the build system can be customized.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Properties of Global Scope

ALLOW_DUPLICATE_CUSTOM_TARGETS
Allow duplicate custom targets to be created.

Normally CMake requires that all targets built in a project have
globally unique logical names (see policy CMP0002). This is necessary
to generate meaningful project file names in Xcode and VS IDE
generators. It also allows the target names to be referenced
unambiguously.

Makefile generators are capable of supporting duplicate custom target
names. For projects that care only about Makefile generators and do
not wish to support Xcode or VS IDE generators, one may set this
property to true to allow duplicate custom targets. The property
allows multiple add_custom_target command calls in different
directories to specify the same target name. However, setting this
property will cause non-Makefile generators to produce an error and
refuse to generate the project.

DEBUG_CONFIGURATIONS
Specify which configurations are for debugging.

The value must be a semi-colon separated list of configuration names.
Currently this property is used only by the target_link_libraries
command (see its documentation for details). Additional uses may be
defined in the future.

This property must be set at the top level of the project and before
the first target_link_libraries command invocation. If any entry in
the list does not match a valid configuration for the project the
behavior is undefined.

DISABLED_FEATURES
List of features which are disabled during the CMake run.

List of features which are disabled during the CMake run. By default
it contains the names of all packages which were not found. This is
determined using the <NAME>_FOUND variables. Packages which are
searched QUIET are not listed. A project can add its own features to
this list. This property is used by the macros in
FeatureSummary.cmake.

ENABLED_FEATURES
List of features which are enabled during the CMake run.

List of features which are enabled during the CMake run. By default
it contains the names of all packages which were found. This is
determined using the <NAME>_FOUND variables. Packages which are
searched QUIET are not listed. A project can add its own features to
this list. This property is used by the macros in
FeatureSummary.cmake.

ENABLED_LANGUAGES
Read-only property that contains the list of currently enabled
languages

Set to list of currently enabled languages.

FIND_LIBRARY_USE_LIB64_PATHS
Whether FIND_LIBRARY should automatically search lib64 directories.

FIND_LIBRARY_USE_LIB64_PATHS is a boolean specifying whether the
FIND_LIBRARY command should automatically search the lib64 variant of
directories called lib in the search path when building 64-bit
binaries.

FIND_LIBRARY_USE_OPENBSD_VERSIONING
Whether FIND_LIBRARY should find OpenBSD-style shared libraries.

This property is a boolean specifying whether the FIND_LIBRARY command
should find shared libraries with OpenBSD-style versioned extension:
".so.<major>.<minor>". The property is set to true on OpenBSD and
false on other platforms.

GLOBAL_DEPENDS_DEBUG_MODE
Enable global target dependency graph debug mode.

CMake automatically analyzes the global inter-target dependency graph
at the beginning of native build system generation. This property
causes it to display details of its analysis to stderr.

GLOBAL_DEPENDS_NO_CYCLES
Disallow global target dependency graph cycles.

CMake automatically analyzes the global inter-target dependency graph
at the beginning of native build system generation. It reports an
error if the dependency graph contains a cycle that does not consist
of all STATIC library targets. This property tells CMake to disallow
all cycles completely, even among static libraries.

IN_TRY_COMPILE
Read-only property that is true during a try-compile configuration.

True when building a project inside a TRY_COMPILE or TRY_RUN command.

PACKAGES_FOUND
List of packages which were found during the CMake run.

List of packages which were found during the CMake run. Whether a
package has been found is determined using the <NAME>_FOUND variables.

PACKAGES_NOT_FOUND
List of packages which were not found during the CMake run.

List of packages which were not found during the CMake run. Whether a
package has been found is determined using the <NAME>_FOUND variables.

PREDEFINED_TARGETS_FOLDER
Name of FOLDER for targets that are added automatically by CMake.

If not set, CMake uses "CMakePredefinedTargets" as a default value for
this property. Targets such as INSTALL, PACKAGE and RUN_TESTS will be
organized into this FOLDER. See also the documentation for the FOLDER
target property.

REPORT_UNDEFINED_PROPERTIES
If set, report any undefined properties to this file.

If this property is set to a filename then when CMake runs it will
report any properties or variables that were accessed but not defined
into the filename specified in this property.

RULE_LAUNCH_COMPILE
Specify a launcher for compile rules.

Makefile generators prefix compiler commands with the given launcher
command line. This is intended to allow launchers to intercept build
problems with high granularity. Non-Makefile generators currently
ignore this property.

RULE_LAUNCH_CUSTOM
Specify a launcher for custom rules.

Makefile generators prefix custom commands with the given launcher
command line. This is intended to allow launchers to intercept build
problems with high granularity. Non-Makefile generators currently
ignore this property.

RULE_LAUNCH_LINK
Specify a launcher for link rules.

Makefile generators prefix link and archive commands with the given
launcher command line. This is intended to allow launchers to
intercept build problems with high granularity. Non-Makefile
generators currently ignore this property.

RULE_MESSAGES
Specify whether to report a message for each make rule.

This property specifies whether Makefile generators should add a
progress message describing what each build rule does. If the
property is not set the default is ON. Set the property to OFF to
disable granular messages and report only as each target completes.
This is intended to allow scripted builds to avoid the build time cost
of detailed reports. If a CMAKE_RULE_MESSAGES cache entry exists its
value initializes the value of this property. Non-Makefile generators
currently ignore this property.

TARGET_ARCHIVES_MAY_BE_SHARED_LIBS
Set if shared libraries may be named like archives.

On AIX shared libraries may be named "lib<name>.a". This property is
set to true on such platforms.

TARGET_SUPPORTS_SHARED_LIBS
Does the target platform support shared libraries.

TARGET_SUPPORTS_SHARED_LIBS is a boolean specifying whether the target
platform supports shared libraries. Basically all current general
general purpose OS do so, the exception are usually embedded systems
with no or special OSs.

USE_FOLDERS
Use the FOLDER target property to organize targets into folders.

If not set, CMake treats this property as OFF by default. CMake
generators that are capable of organizing into a hierarchy of folders
use the values of the FOLDER target property to name those folders.
See also the documentation for the FOLDER target property.

__CMAKE_DELETE_CACHE_CHANGE_VARS_
Internal property

Used to detect compiler changes, Do not set.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Properties on Directories

ADDITIONAL_MAKE_CLEAN_FILES
Additional files to clean during the make clean stage.

A list of files that will be cleaned as a part of the "make clean"
stage.

CACHE_VARIABLES
List of cache variables available in the current directory.

This read-only property specifies the list of CMake cache variables
currently defined. It is intended for debugging purposes.

CLEAN_NO_CUSTOM
Should the output of custom commands be left.

If this is true then the outputs of custom commands for this directory
will not be removed during the "make clean" stage.

COMPILE_DEFINITIONS
Preprocessor definitions for compiling a directory's sources.

The COMPILE_DEFINITIONS property may be set to a semicolon-separated
list of preprocessor definitions using the syntax VAR or VAR=value.
Function-style definitions are not supported. CMake will
automatically escape the value correctly for the native build system
(note that CMake language syntax may require escapes to specify some
values). This property may be set on a per-configuration basis using
the name COMPILE_DEFINITIONS_<CONFIG> where <CONFIG> is an upper-case
name (ex. "COMPILE_DEFINITIONS_DEBUG"). This property will be
initialized in each directory by its value in the directory's parent.

CMake will automatically drop some definitions that are not supported
by the native build tool. The VS6 IDE does not support definition
values with spaces (but NMake does).

Disclaimer: Most native build tools have poor support for escaping
certain values. CMake has work-arounds for many cases but some values
may just not be possible to pass correctly. If a value does not seem
to be escaped correctly, do not attempt to work-around the problem by
adding escape sequences to the value. Your work-around may break in a
future version of CMake that has improved escape support. Instead
consider defining the macro in a (configured) header file. Then
report the limitation. Known limitations include:

# - broken almost everywhere
; - broken in VS IDE and Borland Makefiles
, - broken in VS IDE
% - broken in some cases in NMake
& | - broken in some cases on MinGW
^ < > \" - broken in most Make tools on Windows

CMake does not reject these values outright because they do work in
some cases. Use with caution.

COMPILE_DEFINITIONS_<CONFIG>
Per-configuration preprocessor definitions in a directory.

This is the configuration-specific version of COMPILE_DEFINITIONS.
This property will be initialized in each directory by its value in
the directory's parent.

DEFINITIONS
For CMake 2.4 compatibility only. Use COMPILE_DEFINITIONS instead.

This read-only property specifies the list of flags given so far to
the add_definitions command. It is intended for debugging purposes.
Use the COMPILE_DEFINITIONS instead.

EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL
Exclude the directory from the all target of its parent.

A property on a directory that indicates if its targets are excluded
from the default build target. If it is not, then with a Makefile for
example typing make will cause the targets to be built. The same
concept applies to the default build of other generators.

IMPLICIT_DEPENDS_INCLUDE_TRANSFORM
Specify #include line transforms for dependencies in a directory.

This property specifies rules to transform macro-like #include lines
during implicit dependency scanning of C and C++ source files. The
list of rules must be semicolon-separated with each entry of the form
"A_MACRO(%)=value-with-%" (the % must be literal). During dependency
scanning occurrences of A_MACRO(...) on #include lines will be
replaced by the value given with the macro argument substituted for
'%'. For example, the entry

MYDIR(%)=<mydir/%>

will convert lines of the form

#include MYDIR(myheader.h)

#include <mydir/myheader.h>

allowing the dependency to be followed.

This property applies to sources in all targets within a directory.
The property value is initialized in each directory by its value in
the directory's parent.

INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES
List of preprocessor include file search directories.

This property specifies the list of directories given so far to the
include_directories command. This property exists on directories and
targets. In addition to accepting values from the include_directories
command, values may be set directly on any directory or any target
using the set_property command. A target gets its initial value for
this property from the value of the directory property. A directory
gets its initial value from its parent directory if it has one. Both
directory and target property values are adjusted by calls to the
include_directories command.

The target property values are used by the generators to set the
include paths for the compiler. See also the include_directories
command.

INCLUDE_REGULAR_EXPRESSION
Include file scanning regular expression.

This read-only property specifies the regular expression used during
dependency scanning to match include files that should be followed.
See the include_regular_expression command.

INTERPROCEDURAL_OPTIMIZATION
Enable interprocedural optimization for targets in a directory.

If set to true, enables interprocedural optimizations if they are
known to be supported by the compiler.

INTERPROCEDURAL_OPTIMIZATION_<CONFIG>
Per-configuration interprocedural optimization for a directory.

This is a per-configuration version of INTERPROCEDURAL_OPTIMIZATION.
If set, this property overrides the generic property for the named
configuration.

LINK_DIRECTORIES
List of linker search directories.

This read-only property specifies the list of directories given so far
to the link_directories command. It is intended for debugging
purposes.

LISTFILE_STACK
The current stack of listfiles being processed.

This property is mainly useful when trying to debug errors in your
CMake scripts. It returns a list of what list files are currently
being processed, in order. So if one listfile does an INCLUDE command
then that is effectively pushing the included listfile onto the stack.

MACROS
List of macro commands available in the current directory.

This read-only property specifies the list of CMake macros currently
defined. It is intended for debugging purposes. See the macro
command.

PARENT_DIRECTORY
Source directory that added current subdirectory.

This read-only property specifies the source directory that added the
current source directory as a subdirectory of the build. In the
top-level directory the value is the empty-string.

RULE_LAUNCH_COMPILE
Specify a launcher for compile rules.

See the global property of the same name for details. This overrides
the global property for a directory.

RULE_LAUNCH_CUSTOM
Specify a launcher for custom rules.

See the global property of the same name for details. This overrides
the global property for a directory.

RULE_LAUNCH_LINK
Specify a launcher for link rules.

See the global property of the same name for details. This overrides
the global property for a directory.

TEST_INCLUDE_FILE
A cmake file that will be included when ctest is run.

If you specify TEST_INCLUDE_FILE, that file will be included and
processed when ctest is run on the directory.

VARIABLES
List of variables defined in the current directory.

This read-only property specifies the list of CMake variables
currently defined. It is intended for debugging purposes.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Properties on Targets

<CONFIG>_OUTPUT_NAME
Old per-configuration target file base name.

This is a configuration-specific version of OUTPUT_NAME. Use
OUTPUT_NAME_<CONFIG> instead.

<CONFIG>_POSTFIX
Postfix to append to the target file name for configuration <CONFIG>.

When building with configuration <CONFIG> the value of this property
is appended to the target file name built on disk. For non-executable
targets, this property is initialized by the value of the variable
CMAKE_<CONFIG>_POSTFIX if it is set when a target is created. This
property is ignored on the Mac for Frameworks and App Bundles.

ARCHIVE_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY
Output directory in which to build ARCHIVE target files.

This property specifies the directory into which archive target files
should be built. Multi-configuration generators (VS, Xcode) append a
per-configuration subdirectory to the specified directory. There are
three kinds of target files that may be built: archive, library, and
runtime. Executables are always treated as runtime targets. Static
libraries are always treated as archive targets. Module libraries are
always treated as library targets. For non-DLL platforms shared
libraries are treated as library targets. For DLL platforms the DLL
part of a shared library is treated as a runtime target and the
corresponding import library is treated as an archive target. All
Windows-based systems including Cygwin are DLL platforms. This
property is initialized by the value of the variable
CMAKE_ARCHIVE_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY if it is set when a target is created.

ARCHIVE_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_<CONFIG>
Per-configuration output directory for ARCHIVE target files.

This is a per-configuration version of ARCHIVE_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY, but
multi-configuration generators (VS, Xcode) do NOT append a
per-configuration subdirectory to the specified directory. This
property is initialized by the value of the variable
CMAKE_ARCHIVE_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_<CONFIG> if it is set when a target is
created.

ARCHIVE_OUTPUT_NAME
Output name for ARCHIVE target files.

This property specifies the base name for archive target files. It
overrides OUTPUT_NAME and OUTPUT_NAME_<CONFIG> properties. There are
three kinds of target files that may be built: archive, library, and
runtime. Executables are always treated as runtime targets. Static
libraries are always treated as archive targets. Module libraries are
always treated as library targets. For non-DLL platforms shared
libraries are treated as library targets. For DLL platforms the DLL
part of a shared library is treated as a runtime target and the
corresponding import library is treated as an archive target. All
Windows-based systems including Cygwin are DLL platforms.

ARCHIVE_OUTPUT_NAME_<CONFIG>
Per-configuration output name for ARCHIVE target files.

This is the configuration-specific version of ARCHIVE_OUTPUT_NAME.

AUTOMOC
Should the target be processed with automoc (for Qt projects).

AUTOMOC is a boolean specifying whether CMake will handle the Qt moc
preprocessor automatically, i.e. without having to use the
QT4_WRAP_CPP() macro. Currently Qt4 is supported. When this property
is set to TRUE, CMake will scan the source files at build time and
invoke moc accordingly. If an #include statement like #include
"moc_foo.cpp" is found, the Q_OBJECT class declaration is expected in
the header, and moc is run on the header file. If an #include
statement like #include "foo.moc" is found, then a Q_OBJECT is
expected in the current source file and moc is run on the file itself.
Additionally, all header files are parsed for Q_OBJECT macros, and if
found, moc is also executed on those files. The resulting moc files,
which are not included as shown above in any of the source files are
included in a generated <targetname>_automoc.cpp file, which is
compiled as part of the target.This property is initialized by the
value of the variable CMAKE_AUTOMOC if it is set when a target is
created.

Additional command line options for moc can be set via the
AUTOMOC_MOC_OPTIONS property.

By setting the CMAKE_AUTOMOC_RELAXED_MODE variable to TRUE the rules
for searching the files which will be processed by moc can be relaxed.
See the documentation for this variable for more details.

AUTOMOC_MOC_OPTIONS
Additional options for moc when using automoc (see the AUTOMOC
property)

This property is only used if the AUTOMOC property is set to TRUE for
this target. In this case, it holds additional command line options
which will be used when moc is executed during the build, i.e. it is
equivalent to the optional OPTIONS argument of the qt4_wrap_cpp()
macro.

By default it is empty.

BUILD_WITH_INSTALL_RPATH
Should build tree targets have install tree rpaths.

BUILD_WITH_INSTALL_RPATH is a boolean specifying whether to link the
target in the build tree with the INSTALL_RPATH. This takes
precedence over SKIP_BUILD_RPATH and avoids the need for relinking
before installation. This property is initialized by the value of the
variable CMAKE_BUILD_WITH_INSTALL_RPATH if it is set when a target is
created.

BUNDLE
This target is a CFBundle on the Mac.

If a module library target has this property set to true it will be
built as a CFBundle when built on the mac. It will have the directory
structure required for a CFBundle and will be suitable to be used for
creating Browser Plugins or other application resources.

BUNDLE_EXTENSION
The file extension used to name a BUNDLE target on the Mac.

The default value is "bundle" - you can also use "plugin" or whatever
file extension is required by the host app for your bundle.

COMPILE_DEFINITIONS
Preprocessor definitions for compiling a target's sources.

CMake will automatically drop some definitions that are not supported
by the native build tool. The VS6 IDE does not support definition
values with spaces (but NMake does).

CMake does not reject these values outright because they do work in
some cases. Use with caution.

COMPILE_DEFINITIONS_<CONFIG>
Per-configuration preprocessor definitions on a target.

This is the configuration-specific version of COMPILE_DEFINITIONS.

COMPILE_FLAGS
Additional flags to use when compiling this target's sources.

The COMPILE_FLAGS property sets additional compiler flags used to
build sources within the target. Use COMPILE_DEFINITIONS to pass
additional preprocessor definitions.

DEBUG_POSTFIX
See target property <CONFIG>_POSTFIX.

This property is a special case of the more-general <CONFIG>_POSTFIX
property for the DEBUG configuration.

DEFINE_SYMBOL
Define a symbol when compiling this target's sources.

DEFINE_SYMBOL sets the name of the preprocessor symbol defined when
compiling sources in a shared library. If not set here then it is set
to target_EXPORTS by default (with some substitutions if the target is
not a valid C identifier). This is useful for headers to know whether
they are being included from inside their library our outside to
properly setup dllexport/dllimport decorations.

ENABLE_EXPORTS
Specify whether an executable exports symbols for loadable modules.

Normally an executable does not export any symbols because it is the
final program. It is possible for an executable to export symbols to
be used by loadable modules. When this property is set to true CMake
will allow other targets to "link" to the executable with the
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES command. On all platforms a target-level
dependency on the executable is created for targets that link to it.
For DLL platforms an import library will be created for the exported
symbols and then used for linking. All Windows-based systems
including Cygwin are DLL platforms. For non-DLL platforms that
require all symbols to be resolved at link time, such as Mac OS X, the
module will "link" to the executable using a flag like
"-bundle_loader". For other non-DLL platforms the link rule is simply
ignored since the dynamic loader will automatically bind symbols when
the module is loaded.

EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL
Exclude the target from the all target.

A property on a target that indicates if the target is excluded from
the default build target. If it is not, then with a Makefile for
example typing make will cause this target to be built. The same
concept applies to the default build of other generators. Installing
a target with EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL set to true has undefined behavior.

EchoString
A message to be displayed when the target is built.

A message to display on some generators (such as makefiles) when the
target is built.

FOLDER
Set the folder name. Use to organize targets in an IDE.

Targets with no FOLDER property will appear as top level entities in
IDEs like Visual Studio. Targets with the same FOLDER property value
will appear next to each other in a folder of that name. To nest
folders, use FOLDER values such as 'GUI/Dialogs' with '/' characters
separating folder levels.

FRAMEWORK
This target is a framework on the Mac.

If a shared library target has this property set to true it will be
built as a framework when built on the mac. It will have the
directory structure required for a framework and will be suitable to
be used with the -framework option

Fortran_FORMAT
Set to FIXED or FREE to indicate the Fortran source layout.

This property tells CMake whether the Fortran source files in a target
use fixed-format or free-format. CMake will pass the corresponding
format flag to the compiler. Use the source-specific Fortran_FORMAT
property to change the format of a specific source file. If the
variable CMAKE_Fortran_FORMAT is set when a target is created its
value is used to initialize this property.

Fortran_MODULE_DIRECTORY
Specify output directory for Fortran modules provided by the target.

If the target contains Fortran source files that provide modules and
the compiler supports a module output directory this specifies the
directory in which the modules will be placed. When this property is
not set the modules will be placed in the build directory
corresponding to the target's source directory. If the variable
CMAKE_Fortran_MODULE_DIRECTORY is set when a target is created its
value is used to initialize this property.

Note that some compilers will automatically search the module output
directory for modules USEd during compilation but others will not. If
your sources USE modules their location must be specified by
INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES regardless of this property.

GENERATOR_FILE_NAME
Generator's file for this target.

An internal property used by some generators to record the name of
project or dsp file associated with this target.

GNUtoMS
Convert GNU import library (.dll.a) to MS format (.lib).

When linking a shared library or executable that exports symbols using
GNU tools on Windows (MinGW/MSYS) with Visual Studio installed convert
the import library (.dll.a) from GNU to MS format (.lib). Both import
libraries will be installed by install(TARGETS) and exported by
install(EXPORT) and export() to be linked by applications with either
GNU- or MS-compatible tools.

If the variable CMAKE_GNUtoMS is set when a target is created its
value is used to initialize this property. The variable must be set
prior to the first command that enables a language such as project()
or enable_language(). CMake provides the variable as an option to the
user automatically when configuring on Windows with GNU tools.

HAS_CXX
Link the target using the C++ linker tool (obsolete).

This is equivalent to setting the LINKER_LANGUAGE property to CXX.
See that property's documentation for details.

IMPLICIT_DEPENDS_INCLUDE_TRANSFORM
Specify #include line transforms for dependencies in a target.

MYDIR(%)=<mydir/%>

will convert lines of the form

#include MYDIR(myheader.h)

#include <mydir/myheader.h>

allowing the dependency to be followed.

This property applies to sources in the target on which it is set.

IMPORTED
Read-only indication of whether a target is IMPORTED.

The boolean value of this property is true for targets created with
the IMPORTED option to add_executable or add_library. It is false for
targets built within the project.

IMPORTED_CONFIGURATIONS
Configurations provided for an IMPORTED target.

Set this to the list of configuration names available for an IMPORTED
target. The names correspond to configurations defined in the project
from which the target is imported. If the importing project uses a
different set of configurations the names may be mapped using the
MAP_IMPORTED_CONFIG_<CONFIG> property. Ignored for non-imported
targets.

IMPORTED_IMPLIB
Full path to the import library for an IMPORTED target.

Set this to the location of the ".lib" part of a windows DLL. Ignored
for non-imported targets.

IMPORTED_IMPLIB_<CONFIG>
<CONFIG>-specific version of IMPORTED_IMPLIB property.

Configuration names correspond to those provided by the project from
which the target is imported.

IMPORTED_LINK_DEPENDENT_LIBRARIES
Dependent shared libraries of an imported shared library.

Shared libraries may be linked to other shared libraries as part of
their implementation. On some platforms the linker searches for the
dependent libraries of shared libraries they are including in the
link. Set this property to the list of dependent shared libraries of
an imported library. The list should be disjoint from the list of
interface libraries in the IMPORTED_LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES property.
On platforms requiring dependent shared libraries to be found at link
time CMake uses this list to add appropriate files or paths to the
link command line. Ignored for non-imported targets.

IMPORTED_LINK_DEPENDENT_LIBRARIES_<CONFIG>
<CONFIG>-specific version of IMPORTED_LINK_DEPENDENT_LIBRARIES.

Configuration names correspond to those provided by the project from
which the target is imported. If set, this property completely
overrides the generic property for the named configuration.

IMPORTED_LINK_INTERFACE_LANGUAGES
Languages compiled into an IMPORTED static library.

Set this to the list of languages of source files compiled to produce
a STATIC IMPORTED library (such as "C" or "CXX"). CMake accounts for
these languages when computing how to link a target to the imported
library. For example, when a C executable links to an imported C++
static library CMake chooses the C++ linker to satisfy language
runtime dependencies of the static library.

This property is ignored for targets that are not STATIC libraries.
This property is ignored for non-imported targets.

IMPORTED_LINK_INTERFACE_LANGUAGES_<CONFIG>
<CONFIG>-specific version of IMPORTED_LINK_INTERFACE_LANGUAGES.

Configuration names correspond to those provided by the project from
which the target is imported. If set, this property completely
overrides the generic property for the named configuration.

IMPORTED_LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES
Transitive link interface of an IMPORTED target.

Set this to the list of libraries whose interface is included when an
IMPORTED library target is linked to another target. The libraries
will be included on the link line for the target. Unlike the
LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES property, this property applies to all
imported target types, including STATIC libraries. This property is
ignored for non-imported targets.

IMPORTED_LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES_<CONFIG>
<CONFIG>-specific version of IMPORTED_LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES.

Configuration names correspond to those provided by the project from
which the target is imported. If set, this property completely
overrides the generic property for the named configuration.

IMPORTED_LINK_INTERFACE_MULTIPLICITY
Repetition count for cycles of IMPORTED static libraries.

This is LINK_INTERFACE_MULTIPLICITY for IMPORTED targets.

IMPORTED_LINK_INTERFACE_MULTIPLICITY_<CONFIG>
<CONFIG>-specific version of IMPORTED_LINK_INTERFACE_MULTIPLICITY.

If set, this property completely overrides the generic property for
the named configuration.

IMPORTED_LOCATION
Full path to the main file on disk for an IMPORTED target.

Set this to the location of an IMPORTED target file on disk. For
executables this is the location of the executable file. For bundles
on OS X this is the location of the executable file inside
Contents/MacOS under the application bundle folder. For static
libraries and modules this is the location of the library or module.
For shared libraries on non-DLL platforms this is the location of the
shared library. For frameworks on OS X this is the location of the
library file symlink just inside the framework folder. For DLLs this
is the location of the ".dll" part of the library. For UNKNOWN
libraries this is the location of the file to be linked. Ignored for
non-imported targets.

Projects may skip IMPORTED_LOCATION if the configuration-specific
property IMPORTED_LOCATION_<CONFIG> is set. To get the location of an
imported target read one of the LOCATION or LOCATION_<CONFIG>
properties.

IMPORTED_LOCATION_<CONFIG>
<CONFIG>-specific version of IMPORTED_LOCATION property.

Configuration names correspond to those provided by the project from
which the target is imported.

IMPORTED_NO_SONAME
Specifies that an IMPORTED shared library target has no "soname".

Set this property to true for an imported shared library file that has
no "soname" field. CMake may adjust generated link commands for some
platforms to prevent the linker from using the path to the library in
place of its missing soname. Ignored for non-imported targets.

IMPORTED_NO_SONAME_<CONFIG>
<CONFIG>-specific version of IMPORTED_NO_SONAME property.

Configuration names correspond to those provided by the project from
which the target is imported.

IMPORTED_SONAME
The "soname" of an IMPORTED target of shared library type.

Set this to the "soname" embedded in an imported shared library. This
is meaningful only on platforms supporting the feature. Ignored for
non-imported targets.

IMPORTED_SONAME_<CONFIG>
<CONFIG>-specific version of IMPORTED_SONAME property.

Configuration names correspond to those provided by the project from
which the target is imported.

IMPORT_PREFIX
What comes before the import library name.

Similar to the target property PREFIX, but used for import libraries
(typically corresponding to a DLL) instead of regular libraries. A
target property that can be set to override the prefix (such as "lib")
on an import library name.

IMPORT_SUFFIX
What comes after the import library name.

Similar to the target property SUFFIX, but used for import libraries
(typically corresponding to a DLL) instead of regular libraries. A
target property that can be set to override the suffix (such as
".lib") on an import library name.

INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES
List of preprocessor include file search directories.

The target property values are used by the generators to set the
include paths for the compiler. See also the include_directories
command.

INSTALL_NAME_DIR
Mac OSX directory name for installed targets.

INSTALL_NAME_DIR is a string specifying the directory portion of the
"install_name" field of shared libraries on Mac OSX to use in the
installed targets.

INSTALL_RPATH
The rpath to use for installed targets.

A semicolon-separated list specifying the rpath to use in installed
targets (for platforms that support it). This property is initialized
by the value of the variable CMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH if it is set when a
target is created.

INSTALL_RPATH_USE_LINK_PATH
Add paths to linker search and installed rpath.

INSTALL_RPATH_USE_LINK_PATH is a boolean that if set to true will
append directories in the linker search path and outside the project
to the INSTALL_RPATH. This property is initialized by the value of
the variable CMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH_USE_LINK_PATH if it is set when a
target is created.

INTERPROCEDURAL_OPTIMIZATION
Enable interprocedural optimization for a target.

If set to true, enables interprocedural optimizations if they are
known to be supported by the compiler.

INTERPROCEDURAL_OPTIMIZATION_<CONFIG>
Per-configuration interprocedural optimization for a target.

This is a per-configuration version of INTERPROCEDURAL_OPTIMIZATION.
If set, this property overrides the generic property for the named
configuration.

LABELS
Specify a list of text labels associated with a target.

Target label semantics are currently unspecified.

LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY
Output directory in which to build LIBRARY target files.

This property specifies the directory into which library target files
should be built. Multi-configuration generators (VS, Xcode) append a
per-configuration subdirectory to the specified directory. There are
three kinds of target files that may be built: archive, library, and
runtime. Executables are always treated as runtime targets. Static
libraries are always treated as archive targets. Module libraries are
always treated as library targets. For non-DLL platforms shared
libraries are treated as library targets. For DLL platforms the DLL
part of a shared library is treated as a runtime target and the
corresponding import library is treated as an archive target. All
Windows-based systems including Cygwin are DLL platforms. This
property is initialized by the value of the variable
CMAKE_LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY if it is set when a target is created.

LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_<CONFIG>
Per-configuration output directory for LIBRARY target files.

This is a per-configuration version of LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY, but
multi-configuration generators (VS, Xcode) do NOT append a
per-configuration subdirectory to the specified directory. This
property is initialized by the value of the variable
CMAKE_LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_<CONFIG> if it is set when a target is
created.

LIBRARY_OUTPUT_NAME
Output name for LIBRARY target files.

This property specifies the base name for library target files. It
overrides OUTPUT_NAME and OUTPUT_NAME_<CONFIG> properties. There are
three kinds of target files that may be built: archive, library, and
runtime. Executables are always treated as runtime targets. Static
libraries are always treated as archive targets. Module libraries are
always treated as library targets. For non-DLL platforms shared
libraries are treated as library targets. For DLL platforms the DLL
part of a shared library is treated as a runtime target and the
corresponding import library is treated as an archive target. All
Windows-based systems including Cygwin are DLL platforms.

LIBRARY_OUTPUT_NAME_<CONFIG>
Per-configuration output name for LIBRARY target files.

This is the configuration-specific version of LIBRARY_OUTPUT_NAME.

LINKER_LANGUAGE
Specifies language whose compiler will invoke the linker.

For executables, shared libraries, and modules, this sets the language
whose compiler is used to link the target (such as "C" or "CXX"). A
typical value for an executable is the language of the source file
providing the program entry point (main). If not set, the language
with the highest linker preference value is the default. See
documentation of CMAKE_<LANG>_LINKER_PREFERENCE variables.

LINK_DEPENDS
Additional files on which a target binary depends for linking.

Specifies a semicolon-separated list of full-paths to files on which
the link rule for this target depends. The target binary will be
linked if any of the named files is newer than it.

This property is ignored by non-Makefile generators. It is intended
to specify dependencies on "linker scripts" for custom Makefile link
rules.

LINK_FLAGS
Additional flags to use when linking this target.

The LINK_FLAGS property can be used to add extra flags to the link
step of a target. LINK_FLAGS_<CONFIG> will add to the configuration
<CONFIG>, for example, DEBUG, RELEASE, MINSIZEREL, RELWITHDEBINFO.

LINK_FLAGS_<CONFIG>
Per-configuration linker flags for a target.

This is the configuration-specific version of LINK_FLAGS.

LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES
List public interface libraries for a shared library or executable.

By default linking to a shared library target transitively links to
targets with which the library itself was linked. For an executable
with exports (see the ENABLE_EXPORTS property) no default transitive
link dependencies are used. This property replaces the default
transitive link dependencies with an explicit list. When the target
is linked into another target the libraries listed (and recursively
their link interface libraries) will be provided to the other target
also. If the list is empty then no transitive link dependencies will
be incorporated when this target is linked into another target even if
the default set is non-empty. This property is initialized by the
value of the variable CMAKE_LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES if it is set when
a target is created. This property is ignored for STATIC libraries.

LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES_<CONFIG>
Per-configuration list of public interface libraries for a target.

This is the configuration-specific version of
LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES. If set, this property completely overrides
the generic property for the named configuration.

LINK_INTERFACE_MULTIPLICITY
Repetition count for STATIC libraries with cyclic dependencies.

When linking to a STATIC library target with cyclic dependencies the
linker may need to scan more than once through the archives in the
strongly connected component of the dependency graph. CMake by
default constructs the link line so that the linker will scan through
the component at least twice. This property specifies the minimum
number of scans if it is larger than the default. CMake uses the
largest value specified by any target in a component.

LINK_INTERFACE_MULTIPLICITY_<CONFIG>
Per-configuration repetition count for cycles of STATIC libraries.

This is the configuration-specific version of
LINK_INTERFACE_MULTIPLICITY. If set, this property completely
overrides the generic property for the named configuration.

LINK_SEARCH_END_STATIC
End a link line such that static system libraries are used.

Some linkers support switches such as -Bstatic and -Bdynamic to
determine whether to use static or shared libraries for -lXXX options.
CMake uses these options to set the link type for libraries whose full
paths are not known or (in some cases) are in implicit link
directories for the platform. By default CMake adds an option at the
end of the library list (if necessary) to set the linker search type
back to its starting type. This property switches the final linker
search type to -Bstatic regardless of how it started. See also
LINK_SEARCH_START_STATIC.

LINK_SEARCH_START_STATIC
Assume the linker looks for static libraries by default.

Some linkers support switches such as -Bstatic and -Bdynamic to
determine whether to use static or shared libraries for -lXXX options.
CMake uses these options to set the link type for libraries whose full
paths are not known or (in some cases) are in implicit link
directories for the platform. By default the linker search type is
assumed to be -Bdynamic at the beginning of the library list. This
property switches the assumption to -Bstatic. It is intended for use
when linking an executable statically (e.g. with the GNU -static
option). See also LINK_SEARCH_END_STATIC.

LOCATION
Read-only location of a target on disk.

For an imported target, this read-only property returns the value of
the LOCATION_<CONFIG> property for an unspecified configuration
<CONFIG> provided by the target.

For a non-imported target, this property is provided for compatibility
with CMake 2.4 and below. It was meant to get the location of an
executable target's output file for use in add_custom_command. The
path may contain a build-system-specific portion that is replaced at
build time with the configuration getting built (such as
"$(ConfigurationName)" in VS). In CMake 2.6 and above
add_custom_command automatically recognizes a target name in its
COMMAND and DEPENDS options and computes the target location. In
CMake 2.8.4 and above add_custom_command recognizes generator
expressions to refer to target locations anywhere in the command.
Therefore this property is not needed for creating custom commands.

Do not set properties that affect the location of a target after
reading this property. These include properties whose names match
"(RUNTIME|LIBRARY|ARCHIVE)_OUTPUT_(NAME|DIRECTORY)(_<CONFIG>)?" or
"(IMPLIB_)?(PREFIX|SUFFIX)". Failure to follow this rule is not
diagnosed and leaves the location of the target undefined.

LOCATION_<CONFIG>
Read-only property providing a target location on disk.

A read-only property that indicates where a target's main file is
located on disk for the configuration <CONFIG>. The property is
defined only for library and executable targets. An imported target
may provide a set of configurations different from that of the
importing project. By default CMake looks for an exact-match but
otherwise uses an arbitrary available configuration. Use the
MAP_IMPORTED_CONFIG_<CONFIG> property to map imported configurations
explicitly.

MACOSX_BUNDLE
Build an executable as an application bundle on Mac OS X.

When this property is set to true the executable when built on Mac OS
X will be created as an application bundle. This makes it a GUI
executable that can be launched from the Finder. See the
MACOSX_BUNDLE_INFO_PLIST target property for information about
creation of the Info.plist file for the application bundle. This
property is initialized by the value of the variable
CMAKE_MACOSX_BUNDLE if it is set when a target is created.

MACOSX_BUNDLE_INFO_PLIST
Specify a custom Info.plist template for a Mac OS X App Bundle.

An executable target with MACOSX_BUNDLE enabled will be built as an
application bundle on Mac OS X. By default its Info.plist file is
created by configuring a template called MacOSXBundleInfo.plist.in
located in the CMAKE_MODULE_PATH. This property specifies an
alternative template file name which may be a full path.

The following target properties may be set to specify content to be
configured into the file:

MACOSX_BUNDLE_INFO_STRING
MACOSX_BUNDLE_ICON_FILE
MACOSX_BUNDLE_GUI_IDENTIFIER
MACOSX_BUNDLE_LONG_VERSION_STRING
MACOSX_BUNDLE_BUNDLE_NAME
MACOSX_BUNDLE_SHORT_VERSION_STRING
MACOSX_BUNDLE_BUNDLE_VERSION
MACOSX_BUNDLE_COPYRIGHT

CMake variables of the same name may be set to affect all targets in a
directory that do not have each specific property set. If a custom
Info.plist is specified by this property it may of course hard-code
all the settings instead of using the target properties.

MACOSX_FRAMEWORK_INFO_PLIST
Specify a custom Info.plist template for a Mac OS X Framework.

An library target with FRAMEWORK enabled will be built as a framework
on Mac OS X. By default its Info.plist file is created by configuring
a template called MacOSXFrameworkInfo.plist.in located in the
CMAKE_MODULE_PATH. This property specifies an alternative template
file name which may be a full path.

The following target properties may be set to specify content to be
configured into the file:

MACOSX_FRAMEWORK_ICON_FILE
MACOSX_FRAMEWORK_IDENTIFIER
MACOSX_FRAMEWORK_SHORT_VERSION_STRING
MACOSX_FRAMEWORK_BUNDLE_VERSION

MAP_IMPORTED_CONFIG_<CONFIG>
Map from project configuration to IMPORTED target's configuration.

Set this to the list of configurations of an imported target that may
be used for the current project's <CONFIG> configuration. Targets
imported from another project may not provide the same set of
configuration names available in the current project. Setting this
property tells CMake what imported configurations are suitable for use
when building the <CONFIG> configuration. The first configuration in
the list found to be provided by the imported target is selected. If
no matching configurations are available the imported target is
considered to be not found. This property is ignored for non-imported
targets.

OSX_ARCHITECTURES
Target specific architectures for OS X.

The OSX_ARCHITECTURES property sets the target binary architecture for
targets on OS X. This property is initialized by the value of the
variable CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES if it is set when a target is
created. Use OSX_ARCHITECTURES_<CONFIG> to set the binary
architectures on a per-configuration basis. <CONFIG> is an upper-case
name (ex: "OSX_ARCHITECTURES_DEBUG").

OSX_ARCHITECTURES_<CONFIG>
Per-configuration OS X binary architectures for a target.

This property is the configuration-specific version of
OSX_ARCHITECTURES.

OUTPUT_NAME
Output name for target files.

This sets the base name for output files created for an executable or
library target. If not set, the logical target name is used by
default.

OUTPUT_NAME_<CONFIG>
Per-configuration target file base name.

This is the configuration-specific version of OUTPUT_NAME.

POST_INSTALL_SCRIPT
Deprecated install support.

The PRE_INSTALL_SCRIPT and POST_INSTALL_SCRIPT properties are the old
way to specify CMake scripts to run before and after installing a
target. They are used only when the old INSTALL_TARGETS command is
used to install the target. Use the INSTALL command instead.

PREFIX
What comes before the library name.

A target property that can be set to override the prefix (such as
"lib") on a library name.

PRE_INSTALL_SCRIPT
Deprecated install support.

PRIVATE_HEADER
Specify private header files in a FRAMEWORK shared library target.

Shared library targets marked with the FRAMEWORK property generate
frameworks on OS X and normal shared libraries on other platforms.
This property may be set to a list of header files to be placed in the
PrivateHeaders directory inside the framework folder. On non-Apple
platforms these headers may be installed using the PRIVATE_HEADER
option to the install(TARGETS) command.

PROJECT_LABEL
Change the name of a target in an IDE.

Can be used to change the name of the target in an IDE like Visual
Studio.

PUBLIC_HEADER
Specify public header files in a FRAMEWORK shared library target.

Shared library targets marked with the FRAMEWORK property generate
frameworks on OS X and normal shared libraries on other platforms.
This property may be set to a list of header files to be placed in the
Headers directory inside the framework folder. On non-Apple platforms
these headers may be installed using the PUBLIC_HEADER option to the
install(TARGETS) command.

RESOURCE
Specify resource files in a FRAMEWORK shared library target.

Shared library targets marked with the FRAMEWORK property generate
frameworks on OS X and normal shared libraries on other platforms.
This property may be set to a list of files to be placed in the
Resources directory inside the framework folder. On non-Apple
platforms these files may be installed using the RESOURCE option to
the install(TARGETS) command.

RULE_LAUNCH_COMPILE
Specify a launcher for compile rules.

See the global property of the same name for details. This overrides
the global and directory property for a target.

RULE_LAUNCH_CUSTOM
Specify a launcher for custom rules.

See the global property of the same name for details. This overrides
the global and directory property for a target.

RULE_LAUNCH_LINK
Specify a launcher for link rules.

See the global property of the same name for details. This overrides
the global and directory property for a target.

RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY
Output directory in which to build RUNTIME target files.

This property specifies the directory into which runtime target files
should be built. Multi-configuration generators (VS, Xcode) append a
per-configuration subdirectory to the specified directory. There are
three kinds of target files that may be built: archive, library, and
runtime. Executables are always treated as runtime targets. Static
libraries are always treated as archive targets. Module libraries are
always treated as library targets. For non-DLL platforms shared
libraries are treated as library targets. For DLL platforms the DLL
part of a shared library is treated as a runtime target and the
corresponding import library is treated as an archive target. All
Windows-based systems including Cygwin are DLL platforms. This
property is initialized by the value of the variable
CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY if it is set when a target is created.

RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_<CONFIG>
Per-configuration output directory for RUNTIME target files.

This is a per-configuration version of RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY, but
multi-configuration generators (VS, Xcode) do NOT append a
per-configuration subdirectory to the specified directory. This
property is initialized by the value of the variable
CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_<CONFIG> if it is set when a target is
created.

RUNTIME_OUTPUT_NAME
Output name for RUNTIME target files.

This property specifies the base name for runtime target files. It
overrides OUTPUT_NAME and OUTPUT_NAME_<CONFIG> properties. There are
three kinds of target files that may be built: archive, library, and
runtime. Executables are always treated as runtime targets. Static
libraries are always treated as archive targets. Module libraries are
always treated as library targets. For non-DLL platforms shared
libraries are treated as library targets. For DLL platforms the DLL
part of a shared library is treated as a runtime target and the
corresponding import library is treated as an archive target. All
Windows-based systems including Cygwin are DLL platforms.

RUNTIME_OUTPUT_NAME_<CONFIG>
Per-configuration output name for RUNTIME target files.

This is the configuration-specific version of RUNTIME_OUTPUT_NAME.

SKIP_BUILD_RPATH
Should rpaths be used for the build tree.

SKIP_BUILD_RPATH is a boolean specifying whether to skip automatic
generation of an rpath allowing the target to run from the build tree.
This property is initialized by the value of the variable
CMAKE_SKIP_BUILD_RPATH if it is set when a target is created.

SOURCES
Source names specified for a target.

Read-only list of sources specified for a target. The names returned
are suitable for passing to the set_source_files_properties command.

SOVERSION
What version number is this target.

For shared libraries VERSION and SOVERSION can be used to specify the
build version and api version respectively. When building or
installing appropriate symlinks are created if the platform supports
symlinks and the linker supports so-names. If only one of both is
specified the missing is assumed to have the same version number. For
shared libraries and executables on Windows the VERSION attribute is
parsed to extract a "major.minor" version number. These numbers are
used as the image version of the binary.

STATIC_LIBRARY_FLAGS
Extra flags to use when linking static libraries.

Extra flags to use when linking a static library.

STATIC_LIBRARY_FLAGS_<CONFIG>
Per-configuration flags for creating a static library.

This is the configuration-specific version of STATIC_LIBRARY_FLAGS.

SUFFIX
What comes after the target name.

A target property that can be set to override the suffix (such as
".so" or ".exe") on the name of a library, module or executable.

TYPE
The type of the target.

This read-only property can be used to test the type of the given
target. It will be one of STATIC_LIBRARY, MODULE_LIBRARY,
SHARED_LIBRARY, EXECUTABLE or one of the internal target types.

VERSION
What version number is this target.

For shared libraries VERSION and SOVERSION can be used to specify the
build version and api version respectively. When building or
installing appropriate symlinks are created if the platform supports
symlinks and the linker supports so-names. If only one of both is
specified the missing is assumed to have the same version number. For
executables VERSION can be used to specify the build version. When
building or installing appropriate symlinks are created if the
platform supports symlinks. For shared libraries and executables on
Windows the VERSION attribute is parsed to extract a "major.minor"
version number. These numbers are used as the image version of the
binary.

VS_DOTNET_REFERENCES
Visual Studio managed project .NET references

Adds one or more semicolon-delimited .NET references to a generated
Visual Studio project. For example, "System;System.Windows.Forms".

VS_GLOBAL_<variable>
Visual Studio project-specific global variable.

Tell the Visual Studio generator to set the global variable
'<variable>' to a given value in the generated Visual Studio project.
Ignored on other generators. Qt integration works better if
VS_GLOBAL_QtVersion is set to the version FindQt4.cmake found. For
example, "4.7.3"

VS_GLOBAL_KEYWORD
Visual Studio project keyword.

Sets the "keyword" attribute for a generated Visual Studio project.
Defaults to "Win32Proj". You may wish to override this value with
"ManagedCProj", for example, in a Visual Studio managed C++ unit test
project.

VS_GLOBAL_PROJECT_TYPES
Visual Studio project type(s).

Can be set to one or more UUIDs recognized by Visual Studio to
indicate the type of project. This value is copied verbatim into the
generated project file. Example for a managed C++ unit testing
project:

{3AC096D0-A1C2-E12C-1390-A8335801FDAB};{8BC9CEB8-8B4A-11D0-8D11-00A0C91BC942}

UUIDs are semicolon-delimited.

VS_KEYWORD
Visual Studio project keyword.

Can be set to change the visual studio keyword, for example QT
integration works better if this is set to Qt4VSv1.0.

VS_SCC_AUXPATH
Visual Studio Source Code Control Aux Path.

Can be set to change the visual studio source code control auxpath
property.

VS_SCC_LOCALPATH
Visual Studio Source Code Control Local Path.

Can be set to change the visual studio source code control local path
property.

VS_SCC_PROJECTNAME
Visual Studio Source Code Control Project.

Can be set to change the visual studio source code control project
name property.

VS_SCC_PROVIDER
Visual Studio Source Code Control Provider.

Can be set to change the visual studio source code control provider
property.

VS_WINRT_EXTENSIONS
Visual Studio project C++/CX language extensions for Windows Runtime

Can be set to enable C++/CX language extensions.

VS_WINRT_REFERENCES
Visual Studio project Windows Runtime Metadata references

Adds one or more semicolon-delimited WinRT references to a generated
Visual Studio project. For example, "Windows;Windows.UI.Core".

WIN32_EXECUTABLE
Build an executable with a WinMain entry point on windows.

When this property is set to true the executable when linked on
Windows will be created with a WinMain() entry point instead of of
just main().This makes it a GUI executable instead of a console
application. See the CMAKE_MFC_FLAG variable documentation to
configure use of MFC for WinMain executables. This property is
initialized by the value of the variable CMAKE_WIN32_EXECUTABLE if it
is set when a target is created.

XCODE_ATTRIBUTE_<an-attribute>
Set Xcode target attributes directly.

Tell the Xcode generator to set '<an-attribute>' to a given value in
the generated Xcode project. Ignored on other generators.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Properties on Tests

ATTACHED_FILES
Attach a list of files to a dashboard submission.

Set this property to a list of files that will be encoded and
submitted to the dashboard as an addition to the test result.

ATTACHED_FILES_ON_FAIL
Attach a list of files to a dashboard submission if the test fails.

Same as ATTACHED_FILES, but these files will only be included if the
test does not pass.

COST
Set this to a floating point value. Tests in a test set will be run
in descending order of cost.

This property describes the cost of a test. You can explicitly set
this value; tests with higher COST values will run first.

DEPENDS
Specifies that this test should only be run after the specified list
of tests.

Set this to a list of tests that must finish before this test is run.

ENVIRONMENT
Specify environment variables that should be defined for running a
test.

If set to a list of environment variables and values of the form
MYVAR=value those environment variables will be defined while running
the test. The environment is restored to its previous state after the
test is done.

FAIL_REGULAR_EXPRESSION
If the output matches this regular expression the test will fail.

If set, if the output matches one of specified regular expressions,
the test will fail.For example: PASS_REGULAR_EXPRESSION
"[^a-z]Error;ERROR;Failed"

LABELS
Specify a list of text labels associated with a test.

The list is reported in dashboard submissions.

MEASUREMENT
Specify a CDASH measurement and value to be reported for a test.

If set to a name then that name will be reported to CDASH as a named
measurement with a value of 1. You may also specify a value by
setting MEASUREMENT to "measurement=value".

PASS_REGULAR_EXPRESSION
The output must match this regular expression for the test to pass.

If set, the test output will be checked against the specified regular
expressions and at least one of the regular expressions has to match,
otherwise the test will fail.

PROCESSORS
How many process slots this test requires

Denotes the number of processors that this test will require. This is
typically used for MPI tests, and should be used in conjunction with
the ctest_test PARALLEL_LEVEL option.

REQUIRED_FILES
List of files required to run the test.

If set to a list of files, the test will not be run unless all of the
files exist.

RESOURCE_LOCK
Specify a list of resources that are locked by this test.

If multiple tests specify the same resource lock, they are guaranteed
not to run concurrently.

RUN_SERIAL
Do not run this test in parallel with any other test.

Use this option in conjunction with the ctest_test PARALLEL_LEVEL
option to specify that this test should not be run in parallel with
any other tests.

TIMEOUT
How many seconds to allow for this test.

This property if set will limit a test to not take more than the
specified number of seconds to run. If it exceeds that the test
process will be killed and ctest will move to the next test. This
setting takes precedence over CTEST_TESTING_TIMEOUT.

WILL_FAIL
If set to true, this will invert the pass/fail flag of the test.

This property can be used for tests that are expected to fail and
return a non zero return code.

WORKING_DIRECTORY
The directory from which the test executable will be called.

If this is not set it is called from the directory the test executable
is located in.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Properties on Source Files

ABSTRACT
Is this source file an abstract class.

A property on a source file that indicates if the source file
represents a class that is abstract. This only makes sense for
languages that have a notion of an abstract class and it is only used
by some tools that wrap classes into other languages.

COMPILE_DEFINITIONS
Preprocessor definitions for compiling a source file.

CMake will automatically drop some definitions that are not supported
by the native build tool. The VS6 IDE does not support definition
values with spaces (but NMake does). Xcode does not support
per-configuration definitions on source files.

CMake does not reject these values outright because they do work in
some cases. Use with caution.

COMPILE_DEFINITIONS_<CONFIG>
Per-configuration preprocessor definitions on a source file.

This is the configuration-specific version of COMPILE_DEFINITIONS.
Note that Xcode does not support per-configuration source file flags
so this property will be ignored by the Xcode generator.

COMPILE_FLAGS
Additional flags to be added when compiling this source file.

These flags will be added to the list of compile flags when this
source file builds. Use COMPILE_DEFINITIONS to pass additional
preprocessor definitions.

EXTERNAL_OBJECT
If set to true then this is an object file.

If this property is set to true then the source file is really an
object file and should not be compiled. It will still be linked into
the target though.

Fortran_FORMAT
Set to FIXED or FREE to indicate the Fortran source layout.

This property tells CMake whether a given Fortran source file uses
fixed-format or free-format. CMake will pass the corresponding format
flag to the compiler. Consider using the target-wide Fortran_FORMAT
property if all source files in a target share the same format.

GENERATED
Is this source file generated as part of the build process.

If a source file is generated by the build process CMake will handle
it differently in terms of dependency checking etc. Otherwise having
a non-existent source file could create problems.

HEADER_FILE_ONLY
Is this source file only a header file.

A property on a source file that indicates if the source file is a
header file with no associated implementation. This is set
automatically based on the file extension and is used by CMake to
determine is certain dependency information should be computed.

KEEP_EXTENSION
Make the output file have the same extension as the source file.

If this property is set then the file extension of the output file
will be the same as that of the source file. Normally the output file
extension is computed based on the language of the source file, for
example .cxx will go to a .o extension.

LABELS
Specify a list of text labels associated with a source file.

This property has meaning only when the source file is listed in a
target whose LABELS property is also set. No other semantics are
currently specified.

LANGUAGE
What programming language is the file.

A property that can be set to indicate what programming language the
source file is. If it is not set the language is determined based on
the file extension. Typical values are CXX C etc. Setting this
property for a file means this file will be compiled. Do not set this
for header or files that should not be compiled.

LOCATION
The full path to a source file.

A read only property on a SOURCE FILE that contains the full path to
the source file.

MACOSX_PACKAGE_LOCATION
Place a source file inside a Mac OS X bundle, CFBundle, or framework.

Executable targets with the MACOSX_BUNDLE property set are built as
Mac OS X application bundles on Apple platforms. Shared library
targets with the FRAMEWORK property set are built as Mac OS X
frameworks on Apple platforms. Module library targets with the BUNDLE
property set are built as Mac OS X CFBundle bundles on Apple
platforms. Source files listed in the target with this property set
will be copied to a directory inside the bundle or framework content
folder specified by the property value. For bundles the content
folder is "<name>.app/Contents". For frameworks the content folder is
"<name>.framework/Versions/<version>". For cfbundles the content
folder is "<name>.bundle/Contents" (unless the extension is changed).
See the PUBLIC_HEADER, PRIVATE_HEADER, and RESOURCE target properties
for specifying files meant for Headers, PrivateHeaders, or Resources
directories.

OBJECT_DEPENDS
Additional files on which a compiled object file depends.

Specifies a semicolon-separated list of full-paths to files on which
any object files compiled from this source file depend. An object
file will be recompiled if any of the named files is newer than it.

This property need not be used to specify the dependency of a source
file on a generated header file that it includes. Although the
property was originally introduced for this purpose, it is no longer
necessary. If the generated header file is created by a custom
command in the same target as the source file, the automatic
dependency scanning process will recognize the dependency. If the
generated header file is created by another target, an inter-target
dependency should be created with the add_dependencies command (if one
does not already exist due to linking relationships).

OBJECT_OUTPUTS
Additional outputs for a Makefile rule.

Additional outputs created by compilation of this source file. If any
of these outputs is missing the object will be recompiled. This is
supported only on Makefile generators and will be ignored on other
generators.

SYMBOLIC
Is this just a name for a rule.

If SYMBOLIC (boolean) is set to true the build system will be informed
that the source file is not actually created on disk but instead used
as a symbolic name for a build rule.

WRAP_EXCLUDE
Exclude this source file from any code wrapping techniques.

Some packages can wrap source files into alternate languages to
provide additional functionality. For example, C++ code can be
wrapped into Java or Python etc using SWIG etc. If WRAP_EXCLUDE is
set to true (1 etc) that indicates then this source file should not be
wrapped.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Properties on Cache Entries

ADVANCED
True if entry should be hidden by default in GUIs.

This is a boolean value indicating whether the entry is considered
interesting only for advanced configuration. The mark_as_advanced()
command modifies this property.

HELPSTRING
Help associated with entry in GUIs.

This string summarizes the purpose of an entry to help users set it
through a CMake GUI.

MODIFIED
Internal management property. Do not set or get.

This is an internal cache entry property managed by CMake to track
interactive user modification of entries. Ignore it.

STRINGS
Enumerate possible STRING entry values for GUI selection.

For cache entries with type STRING, this enumerates a set of values.
CMake GUIs may use this to provide a selection widget instead of a
generic string entry field. This is for convenience only. CMake does
not enforce that the value matches one of those listed.

TYPE
Widget type for entry in GUIs.

Cache entry values are always strings, but CMake GUIs present widgets
to help users set values. The GUIs use this property as a hint to
determine the widget type. Valid TYPE values are:

BOOL = Boolean ON/OFF value.
PATH = Path to a directory.
FILEPATH = Path to a file.
STRING = Generic string value.
INTERNAL = Do not present in GUI at all.
STATIC = Value managed by CMake, do not change.
UNINITIALIZED = Type not yet specified.

Generally the TYPE of a cache entry should be set by the command which
creates it (set, option, find_library, etc.).

VALUE
Value of a cache entry.

This property maps to the actual value of a cache entry. Setting this
property always sets the value without checking, so use with care.
