This is useful +during cross-compiling to build utility executables that can run on +the host platform in one project and then import them into another +project being compiled for the target platform. If the NAMESPACE +option is given the <namespace> string will be prepended to all target +names written to the file. If the APPEND option is given the +generated code will be appended to the file instead of overwriting it. +The EXPORT_LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES keyword, if present, causes the +contents of the properties matching +(IMPORTED_)?LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES(_<CONFIG>)? to be exported, when +policy CMP0022 is NEW. If a library target is included in the export +but a target to which it links is not included the behavior is +unspecified. + +The file created by this command is specific to the build tree and +should never be installed. See the install(EXPORT) command to export +targets from an installation tree. + +The properties set on the generated IMPORTED targets will have the +same values as the final values of the input TARGETS. + +:: + + export(PACKAGE <name>) + +Store the current build directory in the CMake user package registry +for package <name>. The find_package command may consider the +directory while searching for package <name>. This helps dependent +projects find and use a package from the current project's build tree +without help from the user. Note that the entry in the package +registry that this command creates works only in conjunction with a +package configuration file (<name>Config.cmake) that works with the +build tree. |
