The ``OLD`` behavior for this +policy is to follow the symlinks. The ``NEW`` behavior for this policy is not +to follow the symlinks by default, but only if ``FOLLOW_SYMLINKS`` is given +as an additional argument to the ``FILE`` command. + +This policy was introduced in CMake version 2.6.2. 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. + +.. include:: DEPRECATED.txt |
