Both import +libraries will be installed by install(TARGETS) and exported by +install(EXPORT) and 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 project() +or enable_language(). CMake provides the variable as an option to the +user automatically when configuring on Windows with GNU tools. |
