- CMAKE_ENABLE_EXPORTS
- --------------------
- Specify whether an executable exports symbols for loadable modules.
- Normally an executable does not export any symbols because it is the
- final program. It is possible for an executable to export symbols to
- be used by loadable modules. When this property is set to true CMake
- will allow other targets to ``link`` to the executable with the
- :command:`TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES` command. On all platforms a target-level
- dependency on the executable is created for targets that link to it.
- For DLL platforms an import library will be created for the exported
- symbols and then used for linking. All Windows-based systems
- including Cygwin are DLL platforms. For non-DLL platforms that
- require all symbols to be resolved at link time, such as OS X, the
- module will ``link`` to the executable using a flag like
- ``-bundle_loader``. For other non-DLL platforms the link rule is simply
- ignored since the dynamic loader will automatically bind symbols when
- the module is loaded.
- This variable is used to initialize the target property
- :prop_tgt:`ENABLE_EXPORTS` for executable targets.
