  3. Automatically link Qt executables to qtmain target on Windows.
  4. CMake 2.8.10 and lower required users of Qt to always specify a link
  5. dependency to the qtmain.lib static library manually on Windows.
  6. CMake 2.8.11 gained the ability to evaluate generator expressions
  7. while determining the link dependencies from IMPORTED targets. This
  8. allows CMake itself to automatically link executables which link to Qt
  9. to the qtmain.lib library when using IMPORTED Qt targets. For
  10. applications already linking to qtmain.lib, this should have little
  11. impact. For applications which supply their own alternative WinMain
  12. implementation and for applications which use the QAxServer library,
  13. this automatic linking will need to be disabled as per the
  14. documentation.
  15. The OLD behavior for this policy is not to link executables to
  16. qtmain.lib automatically when they link to the QtCore IMPORTED target.
  17. The NEW behavior for this policy is to link executables to qtmain.lib
  18. automatically when they link to QtCore IMPORTED target.
  19. This policy was introduced in CMake version 2.8.11. CMake version
  20. |release| warns when the policy is not set and uses OLD behavior. Use
  21. the cmake_policy command to set it to OLD or NEW explicitly.
