This is an indicator +of a bug in user code. + +The OLD behavior for this policy is to ignore attempts to set the link +libraries of utility targets. The NEW behavior for this policy is to +report an error if an attempt is made to set the link libraries of a +utility target. + +This policy was introduced in CMake version 3.0.0. 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. |
