Options

TARGET : required

target name

list of source files

SOURCES_GLOB : optional

search pattern to find source files to compile (note: not recommend according to CMake guidelines) it is usually better to explicitly list the source files in the CMakeList.txt

SOURCES_EXCLUDE_REGEX : optional

search pattern to exclude source files from compilation, applies o the results of SOURCES_GLOB

OBJECTS : optional

list of object libraries to add to this target

TEMPLATES : optional

list of files specified as SOURCES which are not to be compiled separately (these are commonly template implementation files included in a header)

LIBS : optional

list of libraries to link against (CMake targets or external libraries)

INCLUDES : optional

list of paths to add to include directories

DEFINITIONS : optional

list of definitions to add to preprocessor defines

PERSISTENT : optional

list of persistent layer object files

GENERATED : optional

list of files to mark as generated (sets GENERATED source file property)

list of targets to be built before this target

CONDITION : optional

conditional expression which must evaluate to true for this target to be built (must be valid in a CMake if statement)

PROPERTIES : optional

custom properties to set on the target

NOINSTALL : optional

do not install the executable

VERSION : optional, AUTO_VERSION or LIBS_VERSION is used if not specified

version to use as executable version

AUTO_VERSION : optional, ignored if VERSION is specified

automatically version the executable with the package version
