This target type only contains INTERFACE_* properties, so it can be used as a structural node. The target-specific commands enforce that they may only be used with the INTERFACE keyword when used with INTERFACE_LIBRARY targets. The old-style target properties matching LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES_<CONFIG> are always ignored for this target type. The name of the INTERFACE_LIBRARY must match a validity generator expression. The validity is similar to that of an ALIAS target, but with the additional restriction that it may not contain double colons. Double colons will carry the meaning of IMPORTED or ALIAS targets in CMake 2.8.13. An ALIAS target may be created for an INTERFACE library. At this point it can not be exported and does not appear in the buildsystem and project files are not created for them. That may be added as a feature in a later commit. The generators need some changes to handle the INTERFACE_LIBRARY targets returned by cmComputeLinkInterface::GetItems. The Ninja generator does not use that API, so it doesn't require changes related to that.
This is CMake, the cross-platform, open-source make system. CMake is distributed under the BSD License, see Copyright.txt. For documentation see the Docs/ directory once you have built CMake or visit http://www.cmake.org. Building CMake ============== Supported Platforms ------------------- MS Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, HP-UX, IRIX, BeOS, QNX Other UNIX-like operating systems may work too out of the box, if not it shouldn't be a major problem to port CMake to this platform. Contact the CMake mailing list in this case: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake If you don't have any previous version of CMake already installed -------------------------------------------------------------- * UNIX/Mac OSX/MinGW/MSYS/Cygwin: You need to have a compiler and a make installed. Run the bootstrap script you find the in the source directory of CMake. You can use the --help option to see the supported options. You may want to use the --prefix=<install_prefix> option to specify a custom installation directory for CMake. You can run the bootstrap script from within the CMake source directory or any other build directory of your choice. Once this has finished successfully, run make and make install. So basically it's the same as you may be used to from autotools-based projects: $ ./bootstrap; make; make install * Other Windows: You need to download and install a binary release of CMake in order to build CMake. You can get these releases from http://www.cmake.org/HTML/Download.html . Then proceed with the instructions below. You already have a version of CMake installed --------------------------------------------- You can build CMake as any other project with a CMake-based build system: run the installed CMake on the sources of this CMake with your preferred options and generators. Then build it and install it. For instructions how to do this, see http://www.cmake.org/HTML/RunningCMake.html
