EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL

Exclude the directory from the all target of its parent.

A property on a directory that indicates if its targets are excluded from the default build target. If it is not, then with a Makefile for example typing make will cause the targets to be built. The same concept applies to the default build of other generators.

Targets inherit the EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL property from the directory that they are created in. When a directory is excluded, all of its targets will have EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL set to TRUE. After creating such a target you can change its EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL property to FALSE. This will cause the target to be included in the default build target.
