| enable_language |
| --------------- |
| |
| Enable languages (CXX/C/OBJC/OBJCXX/Fortran/etc) |
| |
| .. code-block:: cmake |
| |
| enable_language(<lang>... [OPTIONAL]) |
| |
| Enables support for the named languages in CMake. This is the same as |
| the :command:`project` command but does not create any of the extra |
| variables that are created by the project command. |
| |
| .. include:: SUPPORTED_LANGUAGES.txt |
| |
| By default ``C`` and ``CXX`` are enabled if no language options are given. |
| Specify language ``NONE``, or use the ``LANGUAGES`` keyword and list no languages, |
| to skip enabling any languages. |
| |
| This command must be called in file scope, not in a function call. |
| Furthermore, it must be called in the highest directory common to all |
| targets using the named language directly for compiling sources or |
| indirectly through link dependencies. It is simplest to enable all |
| needed languages in the top-level directory of a project. |
| |
| The ``OPTIONAL`` keyword is a placeholder for future implementation and |
| does not currently work. Instead you can use the :module:`CheckLanguage` |
| module to verify support before enabling. |
