A property on a target that indicates if the target is excluded from
|
|
|
the default build target. If it is not, then with a Makefile for
|
|
|
example typing make will cause this target to be built. The same

|
|
+With ``EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL`` set to false or not set at all, the target
|
|
|
+will be brought up to date as part of doing a ``make install`` or its
|
|
|
+equivalent for the CMake generator being used. If a target has
|
|
|
+``EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL`` set to true, then any attempt to install that
|
|
|
+target has undefined behavior. Note that such a target can still safely
|
|
|
+be listed in an :command:`install(TARGETS)` command as long as the install
|
|
|
+components the target belongs to are not part of the set of components
|
|
|
+that anything tries to install.

This property is enabled by default for targets that are created in
|
|
|
directories that have :prop_dir:`EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL` set to ``TRUE``.
