SOURCES

SOURCES

.. versionadded:: 4.4

This specifies the list of paths to sources for the file set. The :command:target_sources command sets or adds to the SOURCES file set property for the file sets defined with the PRIVATE or PUBLIC keyword and is the usual way to manipulate it.

Contents of SOURCES may use :manual:generator expressions <cmake-generator-expressions(7)>.

Each file must be in one of the base directories, or a subdirectory of one of the base directories. If relative paths are specified, they are considered relative to the target's source directory.

The following behavior applies for the SOURCES and :prop_fs:INTERFACE_SOURCES file set properties, dependent on the value of the :prop_fs:SCOPE file set property:

PRIVATE Only the SOURCES property can be set. Any change to the :prop_fs:INTERFACE_SOURCES property will be ignored.

PUBLIC SOURCES and :prop_fs:INTERFACE_SOURCES properties will always have the same content.

INTERFACE Only the :prop_fs:INTERFACE_SOURCES property can be set. Any change to SOURCES property will be ignored.
