NAME
       cmakeprops - 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)

              to


                #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.

              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").


              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 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.

              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)

              to


                #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.

              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.


       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.


              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.


       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

              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.


       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.

              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.


       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.

              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").


              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.


              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 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.
