MAP_IMPORTED_CONFIG_<CONFIG>

Map from project configuration to imported target’s configuration.

Set this to the list of configurations of an imported target that may be used for the current project’s <CONFIG> configuration. Targets imported from another project may not provide the same set of configuration names available in the current project. Setting this property tells CMake what imported configurations are suitable for use when building the <CONFIG> configuration. The first configuration in the list found to be provided by the imported target (i.e. via IMPORTED_LOCATION_<CONFIG> for the mapped-to <CONFIG>) is selected. As a special case, an empty list element refers to the configuration-less imported target location (i.e. IMPORTED_LOCATION).

If this property is set and no matching configurations are available, then the imported target is considered to be not found. This property is ignored for non-imported targets.

This property is initialized by the value of the CMAKE_MAP_IMPORTED_CONFIG_<CONFIG> variable if it is set when a target is created.

Example

For example creating imported C++ library foo:

add_library(foo STATIC IMPORTED)

Use foo_debug path for Debug build type:

set_property(
  TARGET foo APPEND PROPERTY IMPORTED_CONFIGURATIONS DEBUG
  )

set_target_properties(foo PROPERTIES
  IMPORTED_LINK_INTERFACE_LANGUAGES_DEBUG "CXX"
  IMPORTED_LOCATION_DEBUG "${foo_debug}"
  )

Use foo_release path for Release build type:

set_property(
  TARGET foo APPEND PROPERTY IMPORTED_CONFIGURATIONS RELEASE
  )

set_target_properties(foo PROPERTIES
  IMPORTED_LINK_INTERFACE_LANGUAGES_RELEASE "CXX"
  IMPORTED_LOCATION_RELEASE "${foo_release}"
  )

Use Release version of library for MinSizeRel and RelWithDebInfo build types:

set_target_properties(foo PROPERTIES
  MAP_IMPORTED_CONFIG_MINSIZEREL Release
  MAP_IMPORTED_CONFIG_RELWITHDEBINFO Release
  )
