An :prop_tgt:`IMPORTED` target represents a pre-existing dependency. Usually |
|
|
|
such targets are defined by an upstream package and should be treated as |
|
|
|
immutable. It is not possible to use an :prop_tgt:`IMPORTED` target in the |
|
|
|
left-hand-side of the :command:`target_compile_definitions`, |
|
|
|
:command:`target_include_directories`, :command:`target_compile_options` or |
|
|
|
:command:`target_link_libraries` commands, as that would be an attempt to |
|
|
|
modify it. :prop_tgt:`IMPORTED` targets are designed to be used only in the |
|
|
|
right-hand-side of those commands. |
|
|
|
immutable. After declaring an :prop_tgt:`IMPORTED` target one can adjust its |
|
|
|
target properties by using the customary commands such as |
|
|
|
:command:`target_compile_definitions`, :command:`target_include_directories`, |
|
|
|
:command:`target_compile_options` or :command:`target_link_libraries` just like |
|
|
|
with any other regular target. |

:prop_tgt:`IMPORTED` targets may have the same usage requirement properties |
