Logical target names must be globally unique.
Targets names created with add_executable()
, add_library()
, or
add_custom_target()
are logical build target names. Logical target
names must be globally unique because:
- Unique names may be referenced unambiguously both in CMake
code and on make tool command lines.
- Logical names are used by Xcode and VS IDE generators
to produce meaningful project names for the targets.
The logical name of executable and library targets does not have to
correspond to the physical file names built. Consider using the
OUTPUT_NAME
target property to create two targets with the same
physical name while keeping logical names distinct. Custom targets
must simply have globally unique names (unless one uses the global
property ALLOW_DUPLICATE_CUSTOM_TARGETS
with a Makefiles generator).
This policy was introduced in CMake version 2.6.0. CMake version
3.16.9 warns when the policy is not set and uses OLD
behavior. Use
the cmake_policy()
command to set it to OLD
or NEW
explicitly.
Note
The OLD
behavior of a policy is
deprecated by definition
and may be removed in a future version of CMake.
