In both cases I'm picturing that TARGETS will merely make the targets available in the test project. It doesn't do anything with them. Especially in the case of a full project we wouldn't know what to do with them anyway. For the single-source signature I could see adding a bunch of modern keyword arguments like INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES, LINK_LIBRARIES, etc. that essentially turn into the corresponding properties on the generated project's test target. They would replace the current -D convention which pre-dated keyword arguments in CMake. The outer try_compile call would handle target exports for LINK_LIBRARIES. -Brad -- Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cmake-developers
