| CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_TARGET_TYPE |
| ----------------------------- |
| |
| .. versionadded:: 3.6 |
| |
| Type of target generated for :command:`try_compile` calls using the |
| source file signature. Valid values are: |
| |
| ``EXECUTABLE`` |
| Use :command:`add_executable` to name the source file in the |
| generated project. This is the default if no value is given. |
| |
| ``STATIC_LIBRARY`` |
| Use :command:`add_library` with the ``STATIC`` option to name the |
| source file in the generated project. This avoids running the |
| linker and is intended for use with cross-compiling toolchains |
| that cannot link without custom flags or linker scripts. |
