Error on relative include with generator expression.
Diagnostics in CMake 2.8.12 and lower silently ignored an entry in the INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES
of a target if it contained a generator expression at any position.
The path entries in that target property should not be relative. High-level API should ensure that by adding either a source directory or a install directory prefix, as appropriate.
As an additional diagnostic, the INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES
generated on an IMPORTED
target for the install location should not contain paths in the source directory or the build directory.
The OLD
behavior for this policy is to ignore relative path entries if they contain a generator expression. The NEW
behavior for this policy is to report an error if a generator expression appears in another location and the path is relative.
This policy was introduced in CMake version 3.0. CMake version 3.19.0-rc3 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.
