ALLOW_DUPLICATE_CUSTOM_TARGETS ------------------------------ Allow duplicate custom targets to be created. Normally CMake requires that all targets built in a project have globally unique logical names (see policy :policy:`CMP0002`). This is necessary to generate meaningful project file names in :generator:`Xcode` and :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` IDE generators. It also allows the target names to be referenced unambiguously. Makefile generators are capable of supporting duplicate :command:`add_custom_target` names. For projects that care only about :ref:`Makefile Generators` and do not wish to support :generator:`Xcode` or :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` IDE generators, one may set this property to ``True`` to allow duplicate custom targets. The property allows multiple :command:`add_custom_target` command calls in different directories to specify the same target name. However, setting this property will cause non-Makefile generators to produce an error and refuse to generate the project.
