<p>An imported target missing its location property fails during generation.</p>
<p><a class="reference internal" href="../manual/cmake-buildsystem.7.html#imported-targets"><span class="std std-ref">Imported Targets</span></a> for library files and executables require that
their location on disk is specified in a target property such as
<span class="target" id="index-0-prop_tgt:IMPORTED_LOCATION"></span><a class="reference internal" href="../prop_tgt/IMPORTED_LOCATION.html#prop_tgt:IMPORTED_LOCATION" title="IMPORTED_LOCATION"><code class="xref cmake cmake-prop_tgt docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">IMPORTED_LOCATION</span></code></a>, <span class="target" id="index-0-prop_tgt:IMPORTED_IMPLIB"></span><a class="reference internal" href="../prop_tgt/IMPORTED_IMPLIB.html#prop_tgt:IMPORTED_IMPLIB" title="IMPORTED_IMPLIB"><code class="xref cmake cmake-prop_tgt docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">IMPORTED_IMPLIB</span></code></a>, or a
per-configuration equivalent. If a needed location property is not set,
CMake 3.18 and below generate the string <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">&lt;TARGET_NAME&gt;-NOTFOUND</span></code> in
its place, which results in failures of the corresponding rules at build
time. CMake 3.19 and above prefer instead to raise an error during
generation. This policy provides compatibility for projects that have
not been updated to expect the new behavior.</p>
<p>The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">OLD</span></code> behavior of this policy is to generate the location of an imported
unknown, static or shared library target as <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">&lt;TARGET_NAME&gt;-NOTFOUND</span></code> if not
set.
The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">NEW</span></code> behavior is to raise an error.</p>
<p>This policy was introduced in CMake version 3.19. CMake version 3.23.1
warns when the policy is not set and uses <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">OLD</span></code> behavior. Use the
