Hi, I have a question of policy CMP0026. Our project currently is on CMake 2 and we are planning to move to CMake 3.
When we run CMake3.1.1, we get get a few warnings due to the policy CMP0026, "Disallow use of the LOCATION target property". Even though with those warnings, our cmake scripts still work fine and we are getting the property correctly. One example is like this: get_target_property (TEST_PATH ${TESTS_PROJECT} LOCATION_${CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE}) So my question is, will the support of this kind of usage be dropped in the future releases? I understand the LOCATION property is not fully determined until geenrate-time, however, since it works in our case, can we rely on this behavior or we should consider it will change in the coming 3.x releases? If we migrate away from get_target_property, "$<TARGET_FILE> generator expression" is suggested from CMake3.1.1's documentation. So to get the LOCATION of ${TEST_PROJECT}, I can use: set (TEST_PATH $<TARGET_FILE:${TESTS_PROJECT}>) But if I want to get LOCATION_${CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE}, how can I do it? Thanks. -- Vänliga hälsningar/Best regards, Jifeng Zhang -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
