CMP0018 ------- Ignore CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY__FLAGS variable. CMake 2.8.8 and lower compiled sources in SHARED and MODULE libraries using the value of the undocumented CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY__FLAGS platform variable. The variable contained platform-specific flags needed to compile objects for shared libraries. Typically it included a flag such as -fPIC for position independent code but also included other flags needed on certain platforms. CMake 2.8.9 and higher prefer instead to use the POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE target property to determine what targets should be position independent, and new undocumented platform variables to select flags while ignoring CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY__FLAGS completely. The default for either approach produces identical compilation flags, but if a project modifies CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY__FLAGS from its original value this policy determines which approach to use. The OLD behavior for this policy is to ignore the POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE property for all targets and use the modified value of CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY__FLAGS for SHARED and MODULE libraries. The NEW behavior for this policy is to ignore CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY__FLAGS whether it is modified or not and honor the POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE target property. This policy was introduced in CMake version 2.8.9. CMake version |release| warns when the policy is not set and uses OLD behavior. Use the cmake_policy command to set it to OLD or NEW explicitly. .. include:: DEPRECATED.txt
