+CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_TARGET_TYPE
+-----------------------------
+
+Type of target generated for :command:`try_compile` calls using the
+source file signature. Valid values are:
+
+``EXECUTABLE``
+ Use :command:`add_executable` to name the source file in the
+ generated project. This is the default if no value is given.
+
+``STATIC_LIBRARY``
+ Use :command:`add_library` with the ``STATIC`` option to name the
+ source file in the generated project. This avoids running the
+ linker and is intended for use with cross-compiling toolchains
+ that cannot link without custom flags or linker scripts.
