+CMake Warning \(dev\) in CMakeLists.txt:
+  Policy CMP0026 is not set: Disallow use of the LOCATION target property.
+  Run "cmake --help-policy CMP0026" for policy details.  Use the cmake_policy
+  command to set the policy and suppress this warning.
+
+  The LOCATION property should not be read from target "foo".  Use the target
+  name directly with add_custom_command, or use the generator expression
+  \$<TARGET_FILE>, as appropriate.
+
+This warning is for project developers.  Use -Wno-dev to suppress it.
