:command:`target_link_libraries` allows use with targets in other directories.
|
|
|
|
Prior to CMake 3.13 the :command:`target_link_libraries` command did not
|
|
accept targets not created in the calling directory as its first argument
|
|
for calls that update the :prop_tgt:`LINK_LIBRARIES` of the target itself.
|
|
It did accidentally accept targets from other directories on calls that
|
|
only update the :prop_tgt:`INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES`, but would simply
|
|
add entries to the property as if the call were made in the original
|
|
directory. Thus link interface libraries specified this way were always
|
|
looked up by generators in the scope of the original target rather than
|
|
in the scope that called :command:`target_link_libraries`.
|
|
|
|
CMake 3.13 now allows the :command:`target_link_libraries` command to
|
|
be called from any directory to add link dependencies and link interface
|
|
libraries to targets created in other directories. The entries are added
|
|
to :prop_tgt:`LINK_LIBRARIES` and :prop_tgt:`INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES`
|
|
using a special (internal) suffix to tell the generators to look up the
|
|
names in the calling scope rather than the scope that created the target.
|
|
|
|
This policy provides compatibility with projects that already use
|
|
:command:`target_link_libraries` with the ``INTERFACE`` keyword
|
|
on a target in another directory to add :prop_tgt:`INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES`
|
|
entries to be looked up in the target's directory. Such projects should
|
|
be updated to be aware of the new scoping rules in that case.
|
|
|
|
The ``OLD`` behavior of this policy is to disallow
|
|
:command:`target_link_libraries` calls naming targets from another directory
|
|
except in the previously accidentally allowed case of using the ``INTERFACE``
|
|
keyword only. The ``NEW`` behavior of this policy is to allow all such
|
|
calls but use the new scoping rules.
|
|
|
|
This policy was introduced in CMake version 3.13. 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.
