Both import +libraries will be installed by :command:`install(TARGETS)` and exported by +:command:`install(EXPORT)` and :command:`export` to be linked +by applications with either GNU- or MS-compatible tools. + +If the variable ``CMAKE_GNUtoMS`` is set when a target is created its +value is used to initialize this property. The variable must be set +prior to the first command that enables a language such as :command:`project` +or :command:`enable_language`.
