INTERFACE_COMPILE_DEFINITIONS

List of public compile definitions requirements for a library.

Targets may populate this property to publish the compile definitions required to compile against the headers for the target. The target_compile_definitions() command populates this property with values given to the PUBLIC and INTERFACE keywords. Projects may also get and set the property directly.

When target dependencies are specified using target_link_libraries(), CMake will read this property from all target dependencies to determine the build properties of the consumer.

Contents of INTERFACE_COMPILE_DEFINITIONS may use “generator expressions” with the syntax $<...>. See the cmake-generator-expressions(7) manual for available expressions. See the cmake-buildsystem(7) -manual for more on defining buildsystem properties.
