The +INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES target property was introduced as a +replacement in CMake 2.8.12. This new property is named consistently +with the INTERFACE_COMPILE_DEFINITIONS, INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES +and INTERFACE_COMPILE_OPTIONS properties. For in-build targets, CMake +will use the INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES property as the source of the +link interface only if policy CMP0022 is NEW. When exporting a target +which has this policy set to NEW, only the INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES +property will be processed and generated for the IMPORTED target by +default. A new option to the install(EXPORT) and export commands +allows export of the old-style properties for compatibility with +downstream users of CMake versions older than 2.8.12. The +target_link_libraries command will no longer populate the properties +matching LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES(_<CONFIG>)? if this policy is NEW. + +Warning-free future-compatible code which works with CMake 2.8.7 onwards +can be written by using the ``LINK_PRIVATE`` and ``LINK_PUBLIC`` keywords +of :command:`target_link_libraries`. + +The OLD behavior for this policy is to ignore the +INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES property for in-build targets. The NEW +behavior for this policy is to use the INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES +property for in-build targets, and ignore the old properties matching +``(IMPORTED_)?LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES(_<CONFIG>)?``. + +This policy was introduced in CMake version 2.8.12. CMake version +|release| warns when the policy is not set and uses OLD behavior. Use +the cmake_policy command to set it to OLD or NEW explicitly. + +.. include:: DEPRECATED.txt |
