|
:prop_tgt:`INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES` defines the link interface.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
CMake 2.8.11 constructed the 'link interface' of a target from
|
|
|
|
properties matching ``(IMPORTED_)?LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES(_<CONFIG>)?``.
|
|
|
|
The modern way to specify config-sensitive content is to use generator
|
|
|
|
expressions and the ``IMPORTED_`` prefix makes uniform processing of the
|
|
|
|
link interface with generator expressions impossible. The
|
|
|
|
:prop_tgt:`INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES` target property was introduced as a
|
|
|
|
replacement in CMake 2.8.12. This new property is named consistently
|
|
|
|
with the ``INTERFACE_COMPILE_DEFINITIONS``, ``INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES``
|
|
|
|
and ``INTERFACE_COMPILE_OPTIONS`` properties. For in-build targets, CMake
|
|
|
|
will use the INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES property as the source of the
|
|
|
|
link interface only if policy ``CMP0022`` is ``NEW``. When exporting a target
|
|
|
|
which has this policy set to ``NEW``, only the :prop_tgt:`INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES`
|
|
|
|
property will be processed and generated for the ``IMPORTED`` target by
|
|
|
|
default. A new option to the :command:`install(EXPORT)` and export commands
|
|
|
|
allows export of the old-style properties for compatibility with
|
|
|
|
downstream users of CMake versions older than 2.8.12. The
|
|
|
|
:command:`target_link_libraries` command will no longer populate the properties
|
|
|
|
matching ``LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES(_<CONFIG>)?`` if this policy is ``NEW``.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Warning-free future-compatible code which works with CMake 2.8.7 onwards
|
|
|
|
can be written by using the ``LINK_PRIVATE`` and ``LINK_PUBLIC`` keywords
|
|
|
|
of :command:`target_link_libraries`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The ``OLD`` behavior for this policy is to ignore the
|
|
|
|
:prop_tgt:`INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES` property for in-build targets.
|
|
|
|
The ``NEW`` behavior for this policy is to use the ``INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES``
|
|
|
|
property for in-build targets, and ignore the old properties matching
|
|
|
|
``(IMPORTED_)?LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES(_<CONFIG>)?``.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This policy was introduced in CMake version 2.8.12. CMake version
|
|
|
|
|release| warns when the policy is not set and uses ``OLD`` behavior. Use
|
|
|
|
the :command:`cmake_policy` command to set it to ``OLD`` or ``NEW`` explicitly.
