set_source_files_properties¶
Source files can have properties that affect how they are built.
set_source_files_properties(<files> ...
[DIRECTORY <dirs> ...]
[TARGET_DIRECTORY <targets> ...]
PROPERTIES <prop1> <value1>
[<prop2> <value2>] ...)
Sets properties associated with source files using a key/value paired list.
New in version 3.18: By default, source file properties are only visible to targets added in the
same directory (CMakeLists.txt). Visibility can be set in other directory
scopes using one or both of the following options:
DIRECTORY <dirs>...The source file properties will be set in each of the
<dirs>directories' scopes. CMake must already know about each of these source directories, either by having added them through a call toadd_subdirectory()or it being the top level source directory. Relative paths are treated as relative to the current source directory.TARGET_DIRECTORY <targets>...The source file properties will be set in each of the directory scopes where any of the specified
<targets>were created (the<targets>must therefore already exist).
Use get_source_file_property() to get property values.
See also the set_property(SOURCE) command.
Note
The GENERATED source file property may be globally visible.
See its documentation for details.
