* Add INTERFACE libraries to generated buildsystem if they have SOURCESBrad King2020-08-071-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | INTERFACE libraries were created with the intention of collecting usage requirements for use by other targets via `target_link_libraries`. Therefore they were not allowed to have SOURCES and were not included in the generated buildsystem. In practice, this has become limiting: * Header-only libraries do have sources, they just do not compile. Developers should be able to edit those sources (the header files) in their IDE. * Header-only libraries may need to generate some of their header files via custom commands. Some projects work around these limitations by pairing each interface library with an `add_custom_target` that makes the header files and custom commands appear in the generated buildsystem and in IDEs. Lift such limitations by allowing INTERFACE libraries to have SOURCES. For those with sources, add a corresponding build target to the generated buildsystem. Fixes: #19145

* Export: allow exporting of additional propertiesWouter Klouwen2018-03-161-0/+14
This change introduces an additional property that may be set on a target to allow additional properties to be exported. Normally only a limited number of properties are exported. Additional properties may be exported by simply setting the `EXPORT_PROPERTIES` property on a target that is exported.
